Best Jobs for Detail-Oriented People - MadameNoire

Have you been looking for employment that best aligns with with your traits? Maybe you are a critical person and enjoy analyzing research (see “Key Traits of a Practical Thinker“). Or perhaps you love doing things that allow you to get your hands dirty? Well, should you enjoy making sense of both the small and big office issues, here are some of the best jobs for detail-oriented people.

Doctor/Nurse

It goes without saying that if a doctor and/or nurse is not detail-oriented the end result could be downright fatal. There’s a reason why there is so much education to be a doctor and training for those who want to become a registered nurse. They keep us alive, healthy and do their best to make sure we stay that way.

Architect/Interior designer

Well you definitely need to focus on the details if you want the design you are working on to make sense. Architects are not only required to be creative but also practical. They must account for a variety of “what if” scenarios to ensure their designs can be translated into reality by an engineer or construction worker. Interior designers also need to be detail-oriented when it comes to decorating projects.

Administrative/Office assistant

Certain jobs just don’t get the attention they deserve and this is certainly one of them. Administrative assistants are oftentimes the glue that holds together a company. They are the support team, a personal assistant, the greeting department and just about anything else a business needs from them. Needless to say details are certainly required for this position.

Analyst

It doesn’t matter what industry employs you, if you are an analyst you are a highly detail-oriented person. Simply put, analysts plan, review and translate information for others to use that will (hopefully) enhance productivity. Their entire being is centered around making sense  different types of information.

Editor

Being an editor requires a ton of reading and writing. You are responsible for the content you produce as well as that of any other hired writers, making sure it’s clean of any errors. Not to mention the other responsibilities that focus on the general maintenance of a media outlet.

Anesthesiologist 

Hopefully you will never have to go through surgery, but if you do, you’ll want an anesthesiologist nearby to alleviate your pain. Professionals in this field rake in serious cash and that’s because they have to be meticulous when it comes to applying and maintaining the right dosage for your needs.

Accountant

There’s no pressure but if you don’t crunch your numbers right you could very well be responsible for the downfall of an individual or company’s finances. Accountants analyze and assess information, prepare documents and make recommendations. Given that policies and regulations are always changing, accountants need to be up to date on their stuff.

Mechanic

It’s pretty amazing to see a mechanic at work considering most of us have no idea what all those gadgets and gizmos do on our car. Half the time when we pop open the hood most of us tend to play the “Dear God I hope I don’t screw this up more” game. Mechanics need to know their stuff especially when you consider we pay them the big bucks to keep our vehicles up and running.
