consulting job search career advice

If you're the sort of person who prefers to work alone in quiet environments, you will not enjoy being a consultant.
If you consider yourself a true introvert and find that speaking to people all day saps your energy, you will likely find consulting quite enervating.

INTJ Profile

intj personality job search career advice

INTJs are known as the "Systems Builders" of the types, perhaps in part because they possess the unusual trait combination of imagination and reliability. Whatever system an INTJ happens to be working on is for them the equivalent of a moral cause to an INFJ
INTJs have also been known to take it upon themselves to implement critical decisions without
consulting their supervisors or co-workers.
9 more annotations...
- Typical INTJ career choices are in the sciences and engineering, but they can be found wherever a combination of intellect and incisiveness are required (e.g., law, some areas of academia).
- INTJs can rise to management positions when they are willing to invest time in marketing their abilities as well as enhancing them, and (whether for the sake of ambition or the desire for privacy) many also find it useful to learn to simulate some degree of surface conformism in order to mask their inherent unconventionality.
- Personal relationships, particularly romantic ones, can be the INTJ's Achilles heel.
- This happens in part because many INTJs do not readily grasp the social rituals; for instance, they tend to have little patience and less understanding of such things as small talk and flirtation
- INTJ assets in the interpersonal area are their intuitive abilities
- the Intuitive function can often act as a good substitute by synthesizing the probable meanings behind such things as tone of voice, turn of phrase, and facial expression.
- INTJs are idea people.
- Thinking in this auxiliary role is a workhorse.
- Feeling has a modest inner room, two doors down from the Most Imminent
  iNtuition. It doesn't get out much, but lends its influence on behalf of
  causes which are Good and Worthy and Humane.

- they were fundamentally driven by instinctive “reasons” that could not have been fully fathomed at the time of the decision.
- In my case, that major should have been Art/Art History

Reality Check: Changing Careers into Consulting

www.vault.com/...newsmain.jsp - Preview

consulting job search

the ideal profile
of a career changer into consulting is someone who is not too far (3-5
years) into their chosen field, and who realizes they made a mistake in not starting a consulting career right out of college.
If
my candidate has interest in research or is more theoretical than
practical, I advise him to check out a "think tank" organization where that
type of work is funded and encouraged.

Some people think INTJs can make great CEOs.

intj personality career job search forum advice

I have always been of the opinion that:

* If you want a CEO, choose an INTJ
I've always believed that an INTJ can be a great CEO. I think it takes us longer to developed our management skills than an ENTJ, but once we get them, were pretty good leaders.

I think our type does best in finance, since the field is constantly changing, and a CEO needs to be able to think long term in order to build a good company.

- that's pretty exciting that you have an opportunity to use your INTJ traits to be able to support this company.
