I
had just resigned from my previous job at media and currently looking for a new
one which is closer to engineering and mathematical part of me. Being in the
job market means facing a lot of online tests and several interview
invitations. Financially, it sucks, but I like doing tests.
One
thing that I notice is that many companies are currently looking for
extroverts.
By extrovert I mean people who’d like to be the star in a party, who have a lot of people in their contact list, and those who prefer teamwork then doing the job alone.

So
for all introverts out there looking for a job in big companies, don’t be
yourself. Lie! Never ever be yourself. Even if they say that you have to be
yourself.
I’m
no extrovert. I prefer working alone. I find my peace in a quiet room, or a
noisy one where no one pay attention to me. I even enjoy watching film at
cinema alone. I never ask someone to accompany me to toilet.
But
I like talking. I like sharing stories. I enjoy asking question that many will
find as stupid questions. I love making jokes, though it may not suit everybody’s
humor buds. I am excited when I’m involved in a discussion and even debates.
But after that, I’ll go to my silent room and recharge. I’m happy to meet
people but it drains my energy.
So
you’ll always find me hesitating when you ask me, “are you an extrovert?”
