Social Media Practitioner
社交媒體從業者
隨著科技的發展,現在已經成為壹個“全民皆記者”的年代。
各種平臺的興起,賦予了內向者前所未有的好時機。妳可以通過內容運營、幫助公司或者個人推廣品牌,獲得關註。
對於才華橫溢的內向者而言,做這個工作會非常享受,壹方面能最深刻感受前沿資訊,把握時代脈搏,同時還能避免與人直接打交道的各種煩惱。
Social media work is a demanding full-time job that will allow you to focus most of your energy on the virtual world, which can be a relief for introverts.
社交媒體工作是壹項要求很高的全職工作,妳可以將大部分精力都集中在虛擬世界裏,這對於內向者來說未嘗不是壹種解脫。
While it may seem contradictory, being a social media practitioneris a good option for introverts that can write, says Rich Milgram, CEO of online career network Beyond.com.
雖然這看起來可能有些矛盾,但成為壹名社交媒體經理,對於會寫作的內向者來說是壹個不錯的選擇,在線職業網Beyond.com首席執行官Rich Milgram如此說道。
practitioner:從業者;執業醫師
You can interact with thousands – and possibly millions – of people each day without having to see them in person. It’s the best of both worlds.
每天妳可以與數千人甚至數百萬人互動而不必直接面對他們,這是兩全其美的。
2
Corporate Accounting
公司會計
如果妳不擅長與人打交道,不喜歡觥籌交錯的生活,喜歡用實力說話,對數字敏感,那麽會計工作就是為妳量身定做的。
Being knee-deep in numbers all day might sound like heaven if you'd rather die than spend hours in meetings.
如果妳寧願死也不想花很多時間在各種會議上,那麽能壹整天忙碌於處理數字在妳聽來可能就像是置身於天堂壹般。
knee-deep:工作纏身
"With corporate tax accounting, the position is very cerebral, investigative and research-oriented. It’s an introvert’s paradise," says Frank Green, president of the Atlanta-based staffing firm ExecuSource.
“公司稅務會計這個職位非常需要動腦,需要妳去調查和探究,這簡直就是內向者的天堂,”總部位於亞特蘭大,ExecuSource公司的總裁弗蘭克格林說。
cerebral [s'ribrl]:大腦的;理性的
"You don’t have to deal with anyone as facts are facts. You can’t argue with tax codes."
“妳不必與任何人打交道,因為事實就是事實,妳也不能和稅法爭論什麽。”
更重要的是,會計的職業前景非常不錯哦,在這個商業時代,是非常受歡迎的人才。
3
IT Professional
IT從業人員
在這個互聯網時代,IT工程師或編程人員真是職場香餑餑。
碼農門不善言辭,但卻用代碼改變了地球人生活、消費、娛樂方式,可謂是時代顛覆者。
而且,他們的工資也高得令人咂舌。
Not only can you make megabucks as a programmer — on average about $90,000 a year,
作為壹名編程人員,妳不僅可以賺大把大把的錢——每年平均大約9萬美元。
but the nature of your job requires hours of solitude that allow you to produce meticulous work. You'll need to have a bachelor's degree in computer science and/or strong programming skills.
但妳的工作性質要求妳常常得獨自工作幾小時,這樣妳才能壹絲不茍地開展工作。不過妳得有計算機科學學士學位和/或強大的編程技能。
meticulous [m'tkjls]:壹絲不茍;小心翼翼
4
Court Reporter
法庭記錄員
法庭記錄員的薪資非常可觀(截至2015年法庭記錄員的平均年薪為53000美元),並且可以相對自主地工作。
"Even though court reporters are highly visible, they don’t have to interact with anyone," says Mary Ellen Slayter, a career expert for Monster.com.
“盡管法庭記錄員會出現在人們的視野裏,但他們不需要與任何人進行互動,”Monster.com的職場專家瑪麗艾倫斯萊特說。
"Occasionally they are asked to read quotes back to the court, but that doesn’t involve sharing their own thoughts in front of others, which can make introverts nervous."
“偶爾他們需要在法庭上轉述他人的話,但這並不涉及在他人面前分享自己的想法,而分享個人想法則可能會讓內向者感到緊張。”
5
Clinical Lab Technician
臨床實驗室技術員
If you have a high tolerance for blood and bodily fluids, consider working as a lab tech, which you can do at hospitals, diagnostic laboratories and doctors' offices.
如果妳能忍受血液和體液,也可以考慮成為壹名臨床實驗室技術人員,妳可以在醫院、診斷實驗室和醫生辦公室工作。
Most of your duties, which involve testing medical samples for various normalities and abnormalities, can be done privately.
大部分的職責包括測試各種正常和異常的醫療樣本,這些都是可以獨自進行的。
6
Business-to-Business Sales
企業對企業銷售
亞利桑那州立大學凱瑞商學院本科商業職業中心主任凱文伯恩斯認為,企業內部的銷售,例如制造商和批發商或者批發商和零售商之間的合作,實際上是內向型人才發展的壹個很好的舞臺。
"Despite common stereotypes, I suggest that business-to-business sales is an excellent career for introverts," he says. "A great deal of time is spent independently, learning about and creating solutions for customers. This allows an introvert the space to regain energy.
“撇除常見的陳舊觀念,我認為企業對企業的銷售對內向的人來說是壹個很好的職業方向,”他說。“從事這個職業的員工大部分時間是獨立度過的,了解客戶,為客戶創造解決方案。這讓內向者有足夠的空間重新獲得能量。”
In addition, introversion does not suggest that these people do not like to be around other people, just not all the time, since it is energy draining.
此外,內向並不意味著這些人不喜歡和他人在壹起,他們只是不喜歡所有的時間都需要應付別人,因為這太消耗精力了。
The on-again, off-again interactions of B2B sales help introverts manage both worlds — research and interaction — with great skill and satisfaction.
企業對企業銷售重復“開”“關”的互動有助於內向的人協調兩個世界——研究和互動——既有技巧又讓人滿意。
7
Librarian
圖書管理員
圖書館職業對於那些寧願埋首於書籍之中,而不是整天與同事聊天的人來說也是完美的職業。
To be an “official” librarian you'll need a master's degree in library science, but even if you don't want to go to grad school, there's a vast range of jobs under the library umbrella, including archivist, cataloger, historian, research librarian, and more.
要想成為正式的圖書館管理人員,妳需要圖書館學碩士學位,但即使妳不想去讀研究生,圖書館也包含很多其他的工作,如檔案工作者、編目員、歷史學家、研究圖書館員等等。
8
Electrician
電工
電工可以歸類為純技術類工作啦。
在國外,諸如電工、水管工(plumber ['plm])也是非常熱門的工種,薪資高,而且極為搶手。
如果妳對動手類的工作感興趣,不妨考慮看看哦。
Electricians are not only constantly in demand, but can do most of their work in relative solitude, especially if they run their own electrical business.
電工不僅非常吃香,而且可以在相對獨處的情況下完成大部分工作,如果他們是自己經營電氣業務,那就更是如此。
They also do decently salary-wise — the median annual wage as of 2015 is about $43,000.
他們的工資也相當體面——截至2015年平均年薪約為43,000美元。
-wise:在某方面
9
Animal Care Worker
動物護理工作人員
如果妳不愛講話,但是妳有愛心、喜歡和動物寶寶們相處,那麽動物護理方面的工作絕對不要錯過哦(這種被滾滾們抱大腿的機會也不是人人都有哦,哈哈哈)。
If you'd rather spend your time hanging out with cute animals than people, CareerCast.com suggests looking into a career in the animal care and service industry.
如果比起人,妳更願意花時間與可愛的動物們相處,CareerCast.com網站建議妳可以在動物護理和服務行業領域尋找工作。
Think veterinary technician, staffer at an animal rescue organization, or even — OMG — zookeeper.

veterinary ['vtrnri]:獸醫的
10
Graphic Designer
平面設計師
設計師也是壹項靠實力說話的工作。
才華和創意是決定妳能否勝任這份工作的關鍵指標。
For those gifted with artistic abilities and a love of silence, graphic design might be that rare career that lets you flex your creative muscles and also work uninterrupted for hours.
對於有藝術天賦但是沈默的人來說,平面設計可能是那種難得的職業,可以讓妳展現創造力,並且可以連續工作數小時不被打擾。
flex one's muscle:施展能力;展示力量
"People who create graphics for publications, websites, packaging and other media occasionally must deal with project managers or clients, but otherwise they spend most of their time working on the product," Slayter says.
Slayter說:“那些為出版物、網站、包裝和其他媒體做平面設計的人,偶爾必須得與項目經理或客戶打交道,但是除此之外他們大部分時間都花在產品設計上了。”
