CareerCast Lists The 10 Best Jobs for Shy People
CARLSBAD, Calif. and PENNINGTON, N.J., March 4, 2014 /PRNewswire/
-- For introverts, the communication that's required to network and
interview with others creates intense fear and, in some cases, makes
it impossible to job hunt. To help shy people succeed in the working
world, Careercast has identified 10 of the best jobs that play to
introverts' strengths while avoiding an overload of interactions each
day. The best jobs for shy people include archivist, astronomer,
film/video editor and social media manager, says CareerCast's new
report (http://www.careercast.com/jobs-rated/best-jobs-introverts).

"You wouldn't think that a job with social right in the name is suited
to introverts, but it's a great fit," says Tony Lee, publisher,
CareerCast. "While in-person interaction may not be an introvert's cup
of tea, technological outlets allow an introvert to maintain
person-to-person communication electronically without the stresses of
actual conversation."
Somehow, many introverts overcome their fears just long enough to land
a new job. But for introverts already in the workplace, they prefer
the security of having a job where the routine is clear and
interaction with others is either non-existent or kept to a minimum is
critical.
Shy people often are attracted to positions that limit their exposure
to new people, so they're typically found in jobs with functions that
tend to be focused around a limited group of people. For them, having
a stable, quiet career often outweighs the need for advancement.
Introverts often don't seek promotions that would require travel or
meeting with new people. Their fears may be holding them back even
when a new job would be a change to advance their skills and
knowledge.
CareerCast has identified the following 10 jobs from their Jobs Rated
report that are best suited to shy job seekers:
