Lathe × Weaknesses: Creativity & Ideation

Jobs Following Established Methods Rather Than Ideation

This collection features jobs that may suit those who prefer to work following established methods and procedures rather than ideation.

While creativity manifests in various ways, not all jobs constantly require new ideas. Rather, many jobs value accurately executing established methods and maintaining consistent quality. Additionally, carefully preserving and continuing good existing methods is an important contribution.

What matters is finding an environment that matches your working style. Producing steady results in stable environments is also a valuable strength. The jobs introduced here offer possibilities to leverage such stability and reliability.
