“…..while an introvert may also be shy, introversion itself is not
shyness. Basically, an introvert is a person who is energized by
being alone …. are more concerned with the inner world of the
mind. They enjoy thinking, exploring their thoughts and
feelings…After being with people for any length of time, such as
at a party, they need time alone to "recharge”.
Carol Bainbridge – gifted children expert
Introvert’s advantage
 We listen more and listen better
 We think before we speak
 We like to be prepared
 Understated, not brash
Introverts need to
 Manage external and inner perceptions
 Manage your own expectations & know your limits
 Focus on what you can control
 Figure out your competitive advantages
 Reflect and learn – don’t take things personally
 Practice, be proactive, be prepared, anticipate
Networking
During Networking,
Engage and offer, not sell and want
“Online job search comforts Introverts because
they don’t have to connect to a person. It’s a
false sense of comfort”
Networking
 Reach out to “targets” beforehand
 Begin with someone you know
 If not, target groups of 3-4
 Rehearse your key “pitches”
 Keep records of connection discussion
 Follow-up after connecting
Find time to recharge in between
Be Real, be Present, and Smile!
Accomplishments
 Strengthen web presence for online networking
 Accomplishments must be measureable and
quantifiable
 Linkedin, resume, Blog, create your own website
 Reinforce these by relating to your own personal values
and skills
 Be able to tell a story
Branding
 Be consistent across all public networks
 Elevator pitches
 First 10 secs is crucial
 30-60 sec
 3 minute
 Focus on how you help others, not list your career
history
Having a Specialisation
 Allows better focus and more effective branding
 Enables better retention of your audience
During interviews
 Research – role, company, interviewer
 Practice
 Expected interview questions
 Your “Power Pose” – smile, firm handshake, shoulders
forward, confident
 Don’t be afraid to ask questions
 Be prepared for small talk
Introverts….
 Get a coach or mentor
 Find a career that energises you, not drain you
 Find a matching organisation and/or supervisor
Be confident with your abilities
