Ideal Work for an ENTP

Ideal Work for an ENTP

By Donna Dunning

Leave the Follow-up to Someone Else

Here is a succinct story from my website by a reader with ENTP preferences. Notice how the work suits the personality type approach in so many ways. It is creative, provides variety and opportunities to challenge, and leaves the follow-up to the client.

Personality Type: ENTP

“Marketing and Business Development Consultant – Help business owners communicate effectively with customers for business growth. Lot’s of variety, lots of trouble-shooting and joining the dots, plenty of reading the situation – love it. Also, being challenging, outspoken and sometimes controversial is regarded as an asset rather than a flaw. And it wouldn’t be right for me to take on the detail of implementing these strategies now would it . . . so I happily encourage clients to get on with that themselves, which of course suits them as they remain in charge.”

If you found this career story interesting or helpful, there are several other stories on the Explorer Career Success Stories and Strategies page.

I would greatly appreciate more stories from people with preferences for ENTP and ENFP. If these are your preferences, please consider adding your own career story.

My Narratives of Type: Explorers (ENTPs and ENFPs) page has additional quotes from people with these personality type preferences.
