职场好像从来就是有利于外向的人。那么问题就来了：性格内向的人如何在职场中找到自己的位置呢？
今天小编给大家推荐一篇文章，让你不再为这个问题所困扰。
Does the idea of answering questions on the fly, spending days in meetings, and having frequent work-related group outings make you uncomfortable? If so, you’re likely an introvert. At the office, many situations — conferences, drive-by questions, and after-work drinks — play to extroverts’ strengths.
But despite this, it’s easy for introverts to flourish in the office, given their dedicated, focused approach to work, and their ability to listen closely to coworkers and bosses. Discover ten ways to thrive in the workplace as an introverted person.
Choose the right job for you
Introverts tend to work best alone, with limited interruptions and lots of head-down, focused project time. Pick your job accordingly: A position requiring tons of travel time, frequent group projects, or a meeting-driven culture will tend not to be a good spot.
如果性格内向，不如在一开始的时候就找到适合自己的工作，可以充分发挥你的优势。
Seek out the right culture
Introverts often prefer working independently, rather than in a group. But consider seeking out team-oriented companies; since introverts tend to avoid self-promotion, a non-competitive atmosphere, with no horn-tooting required, can be ideal.
公司文化也很关键，找一个跟自己气场相投的环境。
During interviews, check the floor plan
Open office plans can be a challenge for introverts, leading to disruptive, loud conversations. On the flip side, though, many cubicle-free offices become zones of headphones and instant messenger programs, in recognition that constant chatter makes getting things done difficult for all kinds of employees.
面试的时候，留意一下公司的氛围。
Control your schedule
Own your calendar. Jeff Weiner, the CEO of LinkedIn, blocks out time on his calendar. For Weiner, these meeting-free buffers allow him to think long-term strategy and avoid getting caught in the hustle-bustle of days spent bouncing from one meeting room into another. Spend a few minutes, either daily or once a week, looking ahead to your upcoming schedule: Are you in constant meetings? Block off some time in your calendar to recharge, whether by sitting alone in your office, or going for a quick walk around the block.
Plan ahead for meetings — often, introverts dislike the feeling of being on the spot. The best way to avoid that is to prepare for conversations and meetings.
掌控计划。每天或每周花几分钟时间想想你的未来规划，无论是在办公室还是在路上。并且要为谈话和会议做好充足准备。
Manage your space
You won’t always have a ton of control over where you sit at work, whether it’s a cubicle, office, or desk in an open work area. If it’s a headphone-friendly environment, consider getting oversized ones to send the signal that you’d rather avoid conversation.
谁也不能控制工作环境，但是如果你可以带耳机的话，不妨挑一个大点的带，告诉别人我其实不太想聊天。
Don’t hide your preferences
No need to wear a sign saying “I’m an introvert.” That would be, well, awkward! But there are more subtle ways you can let people know how you work best. Not a fan of speaking up at meetings? Email key players with your ideas the next day. Bothered by frequent interruptions? Encourage coworkers to IM you — and just avoid responding to the blinking message until you’ve wrapped up your project.
Don’t be afraid to be honest and manage expectations; in general, managers want their employees to be happy and satisfied, not burdened under uncomfortable expectations.
没必要告诉别人你内向。不过你照样可以告诉别人你怎么工作效率才最高。不喜欢开会，那就发邮件；不喜欢被人打扰，那就即时通讯。
Be social when it counts
Foster work relationships by playing on your own terms as much as possible — avoid big birthday lunches in favor of one-on-one lunch dates, and grab coffee a few times a week with one or two coworkers.
You don’t have to go to every big event, but do remember that chugging through a to-do list efficiently isn’t the only way that employees get ahead. Showing some facetime and being socially engaged can make a difference to success in your career and position. If nearly everyone at the office is talking about the holiday party, show up!
