5 Best Career Professions That Are Great For Extroverts

So you think you’re an extrovert?
Do you prefer spending time with other people as compared to being by yourself? How about when it comes to working? Would you rather work with work with a group of colleagues rather than working all by yourself in an enclosed office?
Are you okay with being the center of attention every time you have a discussion in the office? If you answered yes to most of these questions, you are probably an extrovert.
In short, an extrovert is often times considered an “outgoing” or a “people person” and you are probably one of them.

Let’s have a look.
1. Event Planner
Have you attended a wedding before where everything seemed to just fall in place and you wondered whether it was automatic? Well, my friend there is a mastermind behind all that.
Event planners are natural planners with a creative spark and great organizational skills.
If you are not sociable, then you might regret having chosen this career. It requires a people person who can withstand pressure and frequent disappointments. This description perfectly fits an extrovert.
2. Hairstylist/Beautician
Imagine going to a salon only to meet up with a frown salonist.
These people spend almost their entire day talking to and listening to their clients. If you are not the talking type, then you will be out of the business in a few months’ time.
Hairstylists spend very little time alone if they are at work. So an extrovert can really excel in this industry.
3. Nurse
These are the people you go to when you feel helpless.
And one common characteristic about extroverts is that they are welcoming and warm hearted or at least for most of them.
A nurse administers medications, changes dressings and checks your vital signs. They discuss their progress with their colleagues and doctors and when they aren’t directly engaged with you or consulting with your families and other workers, the nurses spend time recording your progress and writing reports.
This work will be so draining for any introverted person as it demands a lot. Extroverts are most likely to excel well as nurses and doctors.
4. Teachers
Teachers who excel at their jobs often find it easy to meet and interact with new people and discuss new ideas.
Imagine a teacher has to meet a new group of students and parents to their classrooms each year meaning his/her people skills are assumed to be top notch.
Extroverted teachers may find that some aspects of the job are difficult for them to complete. Grading CATS and assignments, for instance, is a solitary job that doesn’t offer much activity. Creating lesson plans may also present challenges for similar reasons.
But the better part of a teacher’s life involves engaging with several people.
Overall, extroverts tend to make good teachers. Like any job, though, they have to learn to cope with duties that don’t match their interests perfectly.
5. Media professionals
This one is a no brainer.
These people are master communicators who know how to express themselves in verbal and written formats.
Since most extroverts enjoy talking to other people, they naturally develop many of the skills they need to do this job.
People working in as communication officers, media personnel or public relations officers need outgoing personalities that can help them present clients in positive ways.
You need to be able to engage with people. The last thing anyone needs is a PR specialist who doesn’t like meeting or talking to new people.
