Washi × Weaknesses: Communication Skills
Jobs with Less Dialogue and More Individual Work
This collection features jobs that may suit those who prefer to work independently or utilize expertise rather than through dialogue.
The need for communication varies greatly by occupation. While some jobs require constant conversation, others value quietly developing specialized knowledge and skills and demonstrating results. Additionally, some roles involve working with small groups or specific individuals, while others can be completed entirely independently.
What matters is finding an environment where you can interact in ways that suit you. Not being comfortable with dialogue can also be channeled into concentration and deepening expertise. The jobs introduced here offer possibilities to leverage such strengths.
