10 Dream Jobs for Introverts
Alex would like to change his job.
Being uncertain and unaware of the possibilities, he visits one of his best friends to ask for advice. The friend is of course aware of Alex’s polite manner, so she advises him to search for an area representative, a sales person or similar position. She believes that Alex might easily convince prospective clients using his good communication skills.
Whereas Alex considers this advice, he is quite sure that he would not be happy being around people all day. Certainly he isn’t fond of leading negotiations, moreover convincing hesitant customers to buy the products he sells.
Therefore, a few days later he decides to approach an experienced coach. He helps Alex to recognize that his personality requires more of a job where he has the opportunity to analyze and work on his own. Because Alex has been editing videos for his friends for a while, for this reason he decides to move on towards this direction and find a job related to this field. All in all, this activity proved to be one of the most suitable ones considering his personality.
Hence the question arises, why would Alex be happier, therefore more successful in a video editor job than being a salesman, who needs to visit customers frequently?
