In recent years, the idea of someone being introverted and still genuinely enjoying themselves in the process has become more mainstream than ever. The phenomenon is understood a lot better and, if you're one of those people who prefer quiet nights in to a crowded club - you are definitely not alone. Still, if you're not particularly keen on being around others all the time, finding work can be a slight challenge. We emphasize "slight" as no obstacle is insurmountable. In fact, nowadays, it should be fairly easy to be an independent adult. Create a good resume, look online, and land an awesome job. Your experience and your CV will speak for you.

Freelancing is a particularly good option for just about any introvert. Most of the work will be remote and you will get to set your own hours. Sounds like a dream job? It can be. Nowadays, there are more than a couple of online platforms that will enable you to search for the gig to suit your talents. Upwork and Fiverr are only the most famous. Of course, these are not just for temporary stints. You can easily find a full-time job - with a competitive salary to boot - and kickstart your career the right way.

Finally, we come to the trickiest bit of the story - interacting with people. Most introverts will prefer to keep their colleagues at a distance - at least until they get to know them a bit better. Luckily, nowadays, you don't have to deal with them all the time. In fact, you can keep most of your networking online. A platform like Shapr will be an excellent way to stay in touch and get the most out of your peers without being overwhelmed by the social aspect of it. It's also a great way to establish new connections with people in your line of business who are scattered across the globe.
