Best Jobs for People Who Love to Talk

Different people were born and made in different ways with different inborn talents and passions. Some people were born or grew up to develop a love for talking. In fact, some people live a life in which they can't stand solitude and they enjoy chatting it up with anyone they can find.

Many people who love talking usually fail to realize that their great communication skills, ability to draw just about anyone into a conversation, and love for interacting with others can actually be an asset to a company out there in the world. Here's a list of nine jobs that people who love to talk can excel at.

1. Customer Service Representative

The job of a customer service rep is not an easy one and it is inevitable that even some people who like to talk will detest it. However, it is more likely that it is a job that is a lot easier for people who like to talk than people who don't.

A customer service representative would need to have other skills such as great communication skills, problem-solving skills, listening skills, ability to reason with customers and address their concerns and dissipate their anger or dissatisfaction.

2. Radio Announcer

A radio announcer is someone who capitalizes greatly on his or her love for talking because no one who doesn't love to talk could thrive in a job such as this in which he or she is required to speak for long hours at a time. However, you should know that this job could demand more than being a talkative because it requires some other ornate skills to communicate effectively over radio without your audience seeing you.

3. Receptionist

A receptionist has a number of responsibilities that revolve around greeting and welcoming people whether on phone or physically. However, not just anyone who loves to talk can work this job because apart from their love for talking, there are a lot of other skills they'll need to hone, not much different from the skills needed by a customer service representative. More than just the skills needed by a customer service rep, receptionists are the face of the business they represent and must often make a positive impression on people.

4. Fitness Instructor

I'm sure you're wondering what a fitness instructor job has to do with a job for people who like to talk, but a fitness instructor who has bad communication skills is bad for his or her student. He or she may possibly be gifted at fitness and health but an inability to teach and communicate disqualifies him or her for the profession of fitness instructor. This is because a good fitness instructor is someone who needs to explain movements in a way that people understand. He or she must also be able to encourage students who want to give up.

5. Teacher

Very few students haven’t had an experience at least once or twice with a great teacher, one who made all other teachers pale in comparison. It is when you have one great teacher that you realize that there is a wide schism between a great teacher and a mere teacher. This wide schism is created not by the love for talking but the ability to communicate effectively, ability to empathize with students, ability to command their attention and inspire them.

6. Salesperson

Being a salesperson in any company requires an ability to build relationships with customers (potential or existing). The best way to start building relationships with someone is to talk to them, relate with them. A salesperson must not just have a love for talking but good communication skills and listening skills. After all, how else would he or she understand what a customer needs?

7. Tour Guide

A tour guide is responsible for showing people around somewhere. However, a tour guide is also an entertainer who must share his or her knowledge about the place they're touring in an educative and entertaining manner. He or she must be able to relate with inquisitive visitors, be eager to listen to them, and answer their questions properly.

8. News Anchor or Reporter

Talking skills and communication skills are a very important part of a news anchor or reporter's job. They need to be able to relate with their audience, and choose the right tone and facial expression while discussing different topics.

9. Motivational Speaker

The job of a motivational speaker is no ordinary one. A motivational speaker must be able to use his or her communication skills to encourage people to do what they think they cannot. He or she must be able to express confidence in his audience and use his or her charisma and experience to push people to greater heights.

Conclusion

If you love to talk and want to turn your passion for talking to a profession, you have to be willing to go through various training to sharpen your talking skills and develop the communication skills that you will inevitably need in a job that requires a lot of talking.
