Sedentary jobs that don't require computer skills or computer experience are less common, but they do exist. Here are some examples:

2. Telephone operator: A telephone operator connects calls and provides assistance to callers who may need help with directory inquiries or other phone-related services.

3. Telemarketer: Telemarketers make outbound calls to sell products or services, usually working from a script. There may be minimal computer use, but it typically doesn't require advanced skills.

4. Assembler: Some assembly line jobs require workers to sit for extended periods, attaching or assembling small components for various products.

5. Quality Control Inspector: In some industries, quality control inspectors visually inspect products for defects or deviations from specifications.

6. Hand Sewer: Hand sewers create, mend, or alter garments and other fabric items using a needle and thread. This job typically involves sitting for long periods and requires manual dexterity.

7. Watch Repairer: Watch repairers diagnose, adjust, and repair watches and clocks, which often involves sitting for extended periods while working with small components.
