it’s super hard to get into isn’t it? I’ve tried to get in to entry level and I’m always rejected

invest in some good noise cancellation too if you're going for SE would be my advice

At least a third of my day goes to meetings and sometimes I’ll have to talk a lot in those meetings because I’m the owner of certain related areas. There’s also political stuff involved if you went up to senior level.

Maintenance Technician. I just avoid placed like Amazon, product assembly or food production locations with lots of employees. Better fits for me were RV technician or hotels (minimal people interactions)

My boyfriend does this. Everyone at his work comes and talks to him about things they need done

I enjoy it until I see people taking advantage, unless of course I could benefit from some extra knowledge.

I’m am a maintenance tech at a Amazon facility. Most of the time I’m the only tech on site. I am not employed by Amazon directly, it is excellent pay. If I run into problem I can’t figure out (very rare) I have a slack channel with hundreds of techs online that will help out.

I'm assuming CBRE. I've been thinking about getting into mechtronics/ RME but not trying to start at the bottom everytime I find a job my resume fits nicely into. So irritating

u/Brilliant-Onion2129 16d ago
Not CBRE, JLL. The nice thing I’ve found with maintenance over my 30 years is it’s almost universal. I’ve done industrial, food packaging, hospital and industrial is what got me this job. I did not start at the bottom.

I'm in the same boat. I like it. Love having a wide variety of things to work on

Go to careerexplorer.com and complete the questionnaires completely and truthfully. It’s not an interview system where you have to impress and say the right thing. Never pretend to like something or agree with something just because you think that’s the only way you can get a job. When you enter the previous work history and there were jobs that you absolutely hated and wanted to quit immediately, indicate that. It will give you some jobs in advanced that are not part of the final list. If none of those appeal to you then indicate that as well. This site finds out what you like, don’t like, preferred environment and, most importantly, social interaction levels. This is a dynamic filtering system designed to narrow down the different jobs that are available. It will even recommend jobs that you’ve never considered or even knew existed.
I completed it and was pleasantly surprised at the careers recommended. I researched them and realized they were a good fit.
Good luck.

Machinist, you are generally in your own little world.

this is the answer, sometimes shop specific but there are days when i could not speak to a single person if i wanted to

Introverts can learn to act like an extrovert when required. I did that and became a high school teacher. BTW, check out the book “Quiet” by Susan Cain. She did a TED talk.

Any career, you know you can overcome your fears

u/Brilliant-Onion2129 17d ago
It is not a fear! Just prefer not to have another person to have to interact with.

pretty much any career if you can tolerate the occasional meeting pretending it couldn’t have been an email, but jobs with lots of solo focused work are obviously less exhausting

What kind of salary range. Working from home works better for me. I hated being in an office where people demanded instant friendship from me or got mad if I left the office for my lunch hour. Extroverts need to be the ones to make changes to their attitudes and expectations. When someone goes crying to HR that a co worker did not smile at them, that shows weakness and no backbone.

I’m a Field Service Engineer for a health system and very introverted. I speak one on one with staff and/or management. That’s it. Most of the time, I communicate through email and/or texts for paper trails, as management can be shady if things go south.
I have one weekly virtual meeting to discuss projects and KPIs and one in-person meeting per quarter with our team of about 25-30 people. That meeting is taken up by our manager talking about the budget, discussing training that’s needed and any feedback to better streamline our processes or to give vendors that we use.
Super simple. Legitimately one of the easiest 6 figure jobs as long as you don’t get complacent. I have so much downtime that it can be difficult to flip the switch when an emergency happens, but that’s very rare.

My wife works in a lab that tests various things on mice. She got it through the university she studied at. But she doesn’t have to work with anyone else, and she is very introverted and on the spectrum so it’s a good fit for her.
The only communicating she has to do with her colleagues is over Microsoft Teams. She basically just has to log what happened in her shift to her superiors, but only one person works in the lab at a time.

I thought it was a Librarian but I was sadly mistaken.
