We know that many factors go into your job search, from salary and stability to location and professional development. But arguably one of the most important factors is enjoyment. Do you love your work, or are you just working to pay the bills?
Of course, you want to belong to the first category. We’ve taken some common personality traits and listed out what careers you may be best suited for depending on which personality most closely aligns with yours.
1. The ‘People Person’
Does time fly by the quickest for you when you are interacting with a lot of people? Do you enjoy getting to know new people and learning more about their lives?
Hospitality is a great career option overall for anyone who loves interacting with others, but there are some roles in particular that will really allow a people person to thrive.
- Concierge
- Front Desk Agent
- Server

- General Manager
- Bartender
- Bellperson

2. The Lone Wolf
Even if you are more introverted, or prefer to work alone rather than in a team, there are great roles for you in hospitality!
These roles will allow you to work more independently during your shifts, while still having a team and manager to lean on when you need support. You also won’t interact with guests as much, your work is more behind the scenes.
3. The Creative Thinker
If you enjoy being creative during your workday, these positions allow you to do just that! Whether it’s cursing food or drinks as your medium, coming up with social media campaigns or planning an event, your creativity will shine.
4. The Analytical Thinker
Are numbers your passion? Hospitality has many great career paths for those who enjoy working with data, understanding patterns or behaviors, and crunching numbers day in and day out.
