How to develop or improve communication and interpersonal skills for a quiet/introvert person?
Posted by admin | Under interpersonal skills Monday Oct 26, 2009Someone answered my question from yahoo answer that state a quiet persons do not have interpersonal skill and communication skill and employers don’t want them. Is that true?
In other words, extrovert or talkative people have those skills? And extrovert or talkative people will be hired by employers who need these skills?
See if there is a Toastmasters chapter in your area. It is a social organization just for that purpose.

I don’t think it is true that employers don’t want introverted people. I have known many capable workers who were quiet and kept to themselves. However, I think introverted people may have to work harder to prove themselves at the workplace because their quietness or shyness can be mistaken for snobbishness. I personally would rather be with a quiet coworker than one who talks constantly. There’s less crap to wade through with someone who is quiet.
