(Newswire.net — June 14, 2019) — For some people being meticulous is a skill that comes easily. For others, it is a completely foreign concept. As annoying as it can be for people who are not thorough, detail orientated or meticulous people, it is a great skill to have and something that, if the harnessed right can be a huge asset in your quest for a job at which you will excel. The key to making a career is finding a position and a career path that plays to your strengths. So, if being meticulous is something that you know is a strength of yours, here are a few careers that you might want to consider.
Operations and logistics
Making sure that things happen when they are meant to happen is a very important role. In short, it is ensuring that deadlines are met, that people can plan appropriately and that in environments every second is money, that there are no over-runs or production delays. There is a huge demand for these types of roles and if you invest in something like a diploma of logistics you could well be on the way to a real and meaningful career. It might sometimes feel like you are cracking the whip or that you are the only adult in the room, but such is the lot of the logistics manager – it is attention to detail and nothing left to chance.
ATC
Airplanes don’t just move from one city to another at the whim of the pilot. Flying in tightly controlled airspace where one wrong move could bring hundreds of lives into danger, the job of the air traffic controller is to ensure that from the moment a plane leaves the terminal building until the time that it moves into somebody else’s airspace that it is in eth right place and at the right time. Air traffic controllers cannot afford to make mistakes, because when they do, people die. So, if you always have the ability to pay acute attention to detail and to stay focused then this is something for you.
Auditing
Auditors are the people who make sure that the rules are followed and that everything within a company is as it should be and is as it has been reported to the owners and shareholders. Accountants and financial directors will prepare the books, and they are usually pretty meticulous themselves, but the auditors are the ones who go through it all with a fine-tooth comb, interrogating everything and making sure that there are no errors or inaccuracies.
Sub-editors
Most people think that journalists are good writers – the truth is they are not. Journalists have a good network of contacts and an ability to get a story, it is the army of sub-editors who come behind them who have the ability to turn a good story in a great piece of writing. Subs are the people who check all facts, look at the spelling and the punctuation and who give an article that is published a final once-over. They need to be very thorough and pay extremely close attention to detail.
