| Introverts
at Work
Yes,
even introverts need to make a living! Yet we sometimes feel like misfits in a
fast-paced, visibility-oriented, social-networking business world.
In
truth, introverts' inner-directedness, caution with details and strong abilities
to concentrate can make us true assets in the workplace. How
can we use these strengths to our best advantage?
- We
can choose work that best takes advantage of our strengths.
- We
can refer to our strengths in resumes, job performance
reviews and sales literature.
- We
can use our strengths to do our best work possible (because quality is important
to us).
- We
can clear space for ourselves when we need to.
Barbara
Saunders, introvert,
adds: "Budget
work and personal social time conservatively. Make sure that your personal and
work lives together don't require more energy than you have. A job that leaves
you with nothing left for friends and family will burn you out."
