Data Entry would be your best bet. You don’t have to speak with anyone, just enter data into a computer system. The payrate for data entry tends to be $10-$13 depending on experience and type of data entry.

Most banks need great amount of data entry employees.

Did the agency pull you out of that assignment? I never heard such a thing in which you get yanked out of an assignment for not talking! I am a temp and whenever I am on assignment, they would tell me how many days the project is going to last. A few times it was a mismatch. I am the quiet one as well and I don’t have excellent communication skills either. You must have requested projects that required talking. The agency would only send you if you was the “right” match for the client. So, I would contact the recruiter and explain my situation or go to another agency for work. They can’t be all the same. Good lcuk.

Learning to talk is learning to live and function in our modern world. You can go to school and get help if you have a problem. But you need to learn to speak well if you are going to go anywhere in life.

If you want to give up, go flip burgers somewhere and they’ll take you. Just tell them you won’t work the cash register.

Why don’t you sign up for a public speaking class and develop your communication skills….I think that you will see that good communication skills are essential in almost every job

Sounds to me like your true problem is confidence or lack of it,you need to believe in yourself and be more assertive.
All jobs require you to be able to communicate and form working relationships.And next time a company dismisses you for such a reason, take em to court.There are laws that prevent employers from getting rid of staff for such minor reasons.

Maybe you can ask questions on yahoo answers for a job. Its obvious you don’t need language skills for that.
