Most of us will work for at least 40 years of our life, so it is vital that you find a career that you enjoy and find rewarding. If you are a person who loves social interaction and consider yourself to be an extrovert, here are 6 suitable career paths for you.
Sales
Extroverts love being with people and require lots of company. A job in sales will satisfy an extrovert’s need for daily interaction and allow them to meet a variety of different personalities daily. As small talk comes naturally to them, they are able to put customers at their ease, and their enthusiasm helps secure them a sale. Some extroverts are born performers, and pursuing a career in sales will provide them the perfect platform to win the customer over.
Teacher
Extroverts such as the Myers-Briggs personality type ESFJ are born organizers and love to complete tasks with attention to structure, order, and detail. ESFJ in relationships are warm and sensitive and will build strong emotional bonds with people. They are ideal teachers as they love to organize and will nurture children. ESFP personalities are referred to as Entertainers and flourish in environments where they can show off and entertain people – qualities kids love in a teacher.
Cabin Crew
Looking after people on an airplane requires you to interact with people from all walks of life, from all over the world. Extroverts are great at chatting to people to put them at their ease. Nervous passengers may appreciate you taking them under your wing and talking them through any issues they may have. Passengers will appreciate a warm smile and a little bit of showmanship when you are demonstrating the plane safety procedures.
Children’s Entertainer
Extroverts love to be in crowds and thrive in front of an audience. Perhaps you could consider being a kids entertainer and attend birthday parties dressed as a clown or learn how to do magic tricks to entertain them. If you have exceptional talent and ambition, you could become an entertainer in the theatre or on television.
Lawyer/Attorney
Lawyers need to be able to communicate effectively with different types of people, and they need to stand up in court and talk in front of crowds. As they deal with clients, they need to be approachable and open so that the client opens up to them and feels comfortable enough to relay all information to them. Standing up in court requires confidence and a complete lack of nerves. A shy, nervous lawyer will struggle to make their arguments compelling.
Dentist
Very few people enjoy going to the dentist. If you are thinking about becoming a dentist, it will help if you are an extrovert as you will need to talk to patients to put them at ease. As the patient will have their mouth full of dental instruments, they cannot speak, so you will have to do most of the talking and explain to them what you are doing. If a dentist lacks communication skills and does not interact with the patient, the patient is likely to fret as they will not know what is going to happen while they are in the chair.
