Some people may find your best traits disturbing, so stop judging yourself, because you will never to able to satisfy everyone. Don't try to change yourself, but rather turn your minuses into positive features and use them to find a new job.
1. You're too talkative
You are told often that you're talking too much. Your coffee breaks get extended beyond the limit and some of your colleagues even avoid you because they can't work when you're there.
What jobs would suit you?
Public Relations Specialist
A public relations specialist has to stay in touch not only with people within the company, but also with the customers. You need to be more than a sociable person, talk more than others and give the right answerers at the right time. It's important to know how to deal with crisis situations and provide realistic solutions.
Sales Agent
As a sales agent, you have to know how to talk and make people buy your products. Those who are introverted will never be able to manage such a job. You really need to talk a lot when you're promoting a product; in fact, this is one of the main requirements of the job.
Tour Guide
A tour guide must be able to provide cultural and historical information to people on organized tours, educational establishments and individual clients. Therefore you have to really love to talk, to communicate with people and be spontaneous when it comes about answering difficult questions.
2. Lazy in the day and active at night
There are people who have more energy at night. If you're about to fall asleep at the office and if this happens every day, then you should consider a night job.
What jobs would suit you?
Airport Receptionist
This job requires working on night shifts, because you have to deal with a continuous flow of customers. You will love to be active at night in an environment where other people have the same lifestyle as you.
911 Dispatcher
Your high level of energy at night will keep you awake and active at hours when others can only sleep. However, there are unpleasant events and issues that take place during the night. You have to be there and be able to help those who are facing extreme situations.
Club Waitress
Your energy at night perfectly matches the exciting atmosphere in clubs. Why not have fun and make money at the same time? You can easily find a waitress job at your favorite club.
3. Too shy
You're too shy and this affects your everyday activities. For you, shyness is a real problem and you feel that you'll never be able to get rid of it.
What jobs would suit you?
Laboratory Technician
Because of your shyness, you feel unable to interact with people and be sociable. For this reason, you prefer to work on your own and avoid getting involved in team projects. As a lab technician, you can be part of a team, but you also work on your own. This way you will enjoy full peace without being forced to get in touch with a large number of people.
Librarian
A library is a real oasis of peace and relaxation. If you're passionate about people and books, you can spend some time reading at work. You can help your clients find the right books and all the conversations are going to be relaxing and enjoyable.
Data Analyst
Companies need calm and patient people who are able to search for information and work with numbers. Only a quiet and introverted person can find the patience to handle such a job.
4. Too much energy
No matter what you do, you always get bored quickly and feel the need to try something new. Your high level of energy may be overwhelming for those who have to work with you.
What jobs would suit you?
Actor
As an actor, you need a lot of energy. You must always stay motivated, love what you do and use your entire physical capacity to perform new activities.
Public figure
You can be a public figure of any kind: movie star, singer, politician, celebrity, business leader and more. You will always be in the spotlight and you will know how to get out of the crowd, because your enthusiasm will never go away.
Fitness Instructor
An overflowing energy fits perfectly the atmosphere in fitness centers. If you like to exercise and keep yourself fit, you can use the "disadvantage" of being too active teaching others to love sport. You will get an enviable body, a good health and more money.
