[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 298762, member: 12570"] What do you base your assumptions on? If you are referring to jobs on the inside, that may be an accurate assumption but if you are talking about driving then you are not even close as those are the qualities that would make the job that much more difficult. You have to be assertive, self-confident, outgoing and be able to interact with others but, above all, must be able to take control of the delivery situation, whether it is an office environment, loading dock, warehouse, or a residential setting. For example, you are waiting for an open space on a loading dock. You are next in line and a spot opens when suddenly someone else who had not been waiting backs in and takes the spot from you. An introvert would sit there, pout for a minute, and continue to wait. An experienced driver would have taken control of the delivery situation by positioning his vehicle in such a way as to prevent what happened above; if this was not possible, non-verbal (or verbal) communication would assure that the next spot would be yours. Of course, it all else fails, refer to the thread "Have you ever brawled..." To answer your question, while there may be jobs on the inside that are suitable for introverts, driving, customer counter, and ODS are certainly not among those. [/QUOTE]
