Moving up in your career may be something you deserve, but you’ll get there faster if you know how to take a stand for yourself. This is typically more difficult for introverts who tend to quietly wait for things to happen instead of demanding them. Here’s what you can do to improve your career if you’re an introvert.
Know Yourself
You have qualities that set you apart from the rest. Find out what they are and use them to your advantage.
Take a Break When Needed
If your job has you working with people all day long, a lunch break to yourself will help you deal with the stress.
Find Ways to Network
Perhaps you’re avoiding crowded events or attending them even though you don’t want to. Find alternate ways to meet people from your profession, such as online groups.
Show That You Care
You may not be up for a Friday night out with your colleagues, but it’s nice to let them know you’re thankful they invited you. Show that you care about them by initiating some other group activity, even if that means bringing donuts for everybody on Monday morning.
