The majority
of jobs are geared toward extroverts. Connecting with others and making
connections is essential for a successful career; however, introverts do not
have to spend their entire lives pretending to be extroverts.

Introverts
are defined as people who are depleted by social interactions and energized by
solitary – sometimes creative – pursuits. Introverts connect well with others
but need time alone or in silence to recover. Introverts would rather make a
few deep connections than many superficial ones, and they prefer small group
gatherings over larger social events. Introverts are more effective learners
and empathizers than extroverts on average. The first step toward success as an
introvert is to understand your personal relationship to these characteristics.
Spend some time determining where, how, and when you connect with others the
most effectively. In what ways do you feel most at ease when it comes to
forming relationships? A strong sense of self-awareness will help you establish
yourself at work in such a way that others will notice your abilities.

Managing
your career as an introvert can be difficult, but we're here to help with this
guide.

Career Suggestions for Introverts

As an
introvert, I've often been overlooked, ignored, and labeled as "not a team
player." It's excruciating. Especially when you're surrounded by arrogant
extroverts who have no idea what makes us unique and why being different isn't
always a bad thing.

Over the
years, I've waged my own war, attempting to measure up, stand up, and be heard.
I believe there are steps and strategies we can all take to have a successful
professional life and gain the respect we deserve. What follows is my personal
wisdom accumulated over the course of my writing career.

Simply put, smile

On the
science of smiling, there is a plethora of research, surveys, and journals
(including Charles Darwin's own The Expression of Emotions in Man and Animals).
While it is still unknown why people smile, it is thought that when done on a
regular basis, this simple act has significant positive effects on our bodies
and minds. Some scientists believe it can even provide a "high" in
the short term. More importantly, smiling is one of the brand embodiments of
extroversion in a business setting. By smiling, we introverts can appear more
approachable, social, and upbeat. And who wouldn't want to be in a better frame
of mind? It's also very simple—just it's a matter of practice.

Practicing your smile will help you succeed in your career.

Turn into an
introvert, but a social one. Just because we are introverts doesn't mean we
should isolate ourselves at our desks and avoid interacting with others. While
we may dislike "wasting time" with small talk, there is no better way
to advance our careers than to engage in office connectivity for a few minutes
each day. Others will become aware of our existence, and we may even make a few
genuine friends as a result. If you're at a loss for words, ask others about
themselves—this is a tried-and-true strategy.

Follow Through and Participate in the Game

Simply put,
you should learn to be more adaptable. Yes, such advice contradicts everything
we stand for, but a little social chameleon can bring great benefits. To
accomplish this, we do not need to change who we are or abandon our principles.
It simply entails displaying different aspects of our personality to different
people in order to better relate to them. Simply put, converse with others
about topics in which you know they are interested. That is, in essence, what
adaptability is.

Being an
outcast in an extrovert-dominated world is difficult. In such a skewed
environment, it is even more difficult to pursue a successful career.
