15 Best Jobs For Introverts

A few weeks ago there was a JobMonkey blog post about the best jobs for extroverts. The post pointed those outgoing, social, energizing folks in the right direction for their job search. But what about people on the other end of the spectrum? What are the best jobs for introverts?

Introverts are typically shy people who thrive on being alone. It’s draining for them to be surrounded by other people. Finding solitude is their way of recharging. These people are focused and enjoy their own thoughts, feelings, and ideas. Introverts often enjoy their down time, find networking challenging, and excel at their expertise. Introverts may often be described as the “quiet” type. Are you an introvert?

When you think of famous people, extroverts tend to stand out. It might be surprising that introverts can be outrageously successful. Approximately 1/3 of the population are introverts, including famous names like Harrison Ford, JK Rowling, Michael Jordan, Bill Gates, Albert Einstein, and others. Just because you’re quiet, doesn’t mean you can’t be in the spotlight.
