What job?
Outgoing jobs and extroverted jobs best suit people who aren’t afraid to put themselves forward, speak up and stand out from the crowd – retiring wallflowers need not apply!
Sales
Sell, sell, sell! If your idea of picking up the phone 50 times a day or more fills you with dread then sales isn’t for you. However, if you could sell snow to Eskimos and pride yourself in convincing people that black is, in fact, white then sales is just the job for you. Plus you can make a LOT of money.

Receptionist
Receptionists are the face of many companies – the first person that clients and visitors meet. It’s their job to ensure that everything runs smoothly and to project a good image of the business in which they work. Unless you’re confident in speaking to people then you may struggle. If you enjoy interactions then this is a good career option.

Retail
There are lots of jobs in retail but if you’re going to be working on the shop floor then you’re going to have to be confident when talking to customers. Good sales assistants are friendly, open and chatty – all key attributes in extrovert personalities.

Flight attendant

Customer services
Depending on what kind of call centre you work in, customer service assistants need to be confident dealing with complaints, incoming sales calls, technical queries and everything in between. And sometimes a lot of shouting. Just don’t shout back – even if you really want to.
