Article: Take pride in the strengths that come with being an introvert and leverage them in order to find a career path that suits you. Scientists, writers (technical and content writing), programmers, researchers, auditors, accountants, translator, lab technician etc. These are some of the jobs that match the personality of an introvert. They offer autonomy, require people who have a keen eye for detail, and don't necessitate too much interaction with colleagues. Introverts tend to bury themselves into whatever it is they're working on and dig deep for facts, details and information. You can put your heart and soul into everything you undertake - be it a simple school level assignment or a crucial project. Even the minutest details matter to you, so you are able to see things that other people would overlook. This gives you ownership over those points, aspects and ideas which others have no access to. You are able to think outside of the box to deliver unique and customized solutions, products and services. This trait is crucial in professions such as auditor, accountant, researchers, scientists. You are not in the habit of thinking aloud or saying/doing something just for the sake of it. When you say something you mean it, so it's no wonder that people take you seriously. You are a taskmaster. You are capable of commanding respect. So you come across as firm, decisive, unwavering, as one who weighs all pros and cons, not impulsive. You just don't say something-you come thoroughly prepared and what you say is completely backed by facts. As a result, people take you and what you say seriously. Therefore you are the ideal mediator or arbitrator. You are the Mr. or Mrs. Reliable of your organization/department You prefer to use your ears more than your mouth. Your preferred method of communicating is to spend more time listening to your inner thoughts and to others rather than talking or participating in discussions with others. Good listening skills are one of the prerequisites for maintaining harmony, good relations and managing crisis both in our professional and personal lives. Good listening skills lay the foundation for nurturing relationships. Especially in the corporate world, this trait is essential to succeed in professions such as sales, customer service, counselling. Since you are so good at listening, you can easily absorb what others are saying - their ideas, views, suggestions - and incorporate them to suit the needs and requirements of everybody involved. Introverts find it easier to show their extrovert side when engaged with a single person instead of a group of people at the same time. This can be to your advantage. For example, you could strike up a rapport with a client or customer for a particular project. Instead of interacting with multiple people on the same project, you can focus on the one person. Since you are a good listener and very detail oriented, it is easy for you to strike a chord with a single person. With your kind of personality it is easy for you to understand his needs and requirements and be proactive in offering him the best products, services and solutions. This can make you a success with clients and customers. Another preferred method of communication for introverts is writing rather than talking. Introverts can articulate and express themselves wonderfully through writing. But, if they are expected to deliver the same content through oral communication, they become very uncomfortable and withdraw. Your reflective, introspective and contemplative nature enables you to innovative and create. However, this ability to innovate and invent comes out best through your writing, so use this to your advantage by choosing a job that requires use of the written word.
