Are you an introvert living in an extrovert world and find too much human interaction daunting? We chalk out the best career options for you!

There is a common saying that reads “All five fingers are not the same”. So also the human race has different characteristics that sets them apart from each other and makes them have a feather on their cap for their individualistic approach to life. People can be of two types: Introverts and Extroverts. Extroverts tend to be very expressive individuals whereas introverts tend to be in their own bubble and to themselves. Here are 10 career options for introverts that will make you introverts plan to take up these jobs in the near future.

Social Media Manager

The job of a social media manager best fits the bill of an introvert and can be thought of as a great career option as they have to specialise in virtual interactions.  They do not have to communicate with people in person they have to just post on various social media sites hence making them not come out of their comfort zone and invade their bubble.

  • HI there, while these are all great career choices your readers should consider this...many jobs that have traditionally appealed to introverts such as librarians, lab technicians and IT/computer programmers for example, are changing. I have spoken with librarians who are expected to do community outreach, lab technicians who are expected to present their work at conferences and IT folk who are expected to work in teams. So, the bottom line this is this: find a career that you feel passionate about and be prepared to learn the skills you'll need to succeed in your chosen field.
