Based on the level of grammar used in your question, I recommend working on how you present you're self through your words. If you enjoy talking,and hate sales, I recommend being a business or personal coach. Both require masters or 10 years of experience

Jobs of all kinds are harder to find now that Covid has hit. If that is your dream, you should follow it though if you have some cushion in your budget.

Ryan’s Answer

There are also some jobs in government and nonprofit organizations that allow you to work with people in the community to make sure they're getting the service and support they need. You're not "selling" a product, but you are working with people. In some ways, you are providing customer service in these types of roles. Think about what sorts of services you might like to provide to people -- you can be working with people within your company or outside your company.

I will also add to think about what kind of "talking" you like to do. You've mentioned you don't like to sell. But do you like to present? Do you like to teach? Do you like to resolve? Or other? If you're interested in presenting for instance, there are many roles like "pre-sales" where you showcase the product or technology but the Sales person is responsible for the sale. There is also Education, internal for your company where you may be training new employees or external, where you train customers. Or there is consulting, where you are leading the conversation but you are still talking and discovering about your customer, perhaps to create a business case. There could also be Helpdesk / it support style, where you are talking day in and out but it's to resolve an issue.

Hi Maple, you can consider options in Human Resources and event management too if you enjoy working with people but don't want to "sell" something.

Gary’s Answer

Hi,
Most jobs require you to speak with people, I would recommend doing some career research to narrow down your interest - try looking into careers and education in business(customer service), legal (paralegal or legal assistant), social work, etc.
Good luck!

Yogesh’s Answer

One of the areas where you need to talk to people a lot would be Project/Program management. They do a lot of talking as they need to figure out many many things but they would not be doing things themselves. They would organize and get done things through others. As a result, they would end up talking a lot. Experience level varies and you don't experience to enter that field.

There are lots of roles in Tech Companies that request Legal backgrounds for contracts and compliance. I am A Senior Manager of Credit & Collections so I get to interact with multiple people and not stuck working on numbers all the time. You can combine your legal talents with a role that combines skill and personality. Legal topics in a Tech Company can be fun and interesting with compliance of real time Internet changes.

Bill’s Answer

Many jobs offer you the ability to speak to others with out being in direct customer sales. For example, I'm in the insurance industry and over my years as a field underwriter, one of the key things I did was visit our agencies that directly sell our coverages to the end buyer. While my role has a "sales" component to it, I'm more informing the agents that sell our coverages on our behalf so they are informed on what we write and what differentiates us from others.

In this role, you'll be able to meet and talk to a lot of people both agents selling directly to customers for us and the end buyer. One of the most interesting parts of my role is traveling to visit our customers (end buyers) who the agent has sold a policy to and touring their operations and getting to know more about their business.

Good luck in your future endeavors.
