Most successful careers are those that connect your skills, talents and passions. There are many jobs that are good for people who are detail-oriented. But to have a sustainable career, you need to align that detail-orientation to your talent and passion. To be the best in anything – you need to be detailed oriented in that particular industry or situation (regardless of the position or job description).
1) Quality Assurance Expert is detail-oriented, and can be aligned with many fields such as Health-care, Manufacturing, Software/IT, Insurance, Banking, etc.
2) Prestigious Head Chief is detail-oriented — and is aligned with their passion and talents.
3) Successful Surgeon and doctor has to be detailed-oriented in regards to their craft.
4) High-quality Construction Supervisors, Architects and Designers have be to detailed oriented when building large foundations for important buildings.
5) The best Attorneys and Judges are detailed oriented when it comes to their important, high-profile cases and decisions
6) Successful Accountants and CPAs are detailed oriented when it comes to their work
7) Scientists, Researchers, Inventors, developers, testers, writers are all detailed oriented when it comes to their work
I think the question is misguided. It’s not the specific job that is key. It’s the desired quality, success and profile level that you want to achieve. People that are dedicated and what to be successful in their selected craft are very driven and detailed oriented toward their success. People that just look at their work as simply a job and are not motivated to provide the best and are not as detail oriented.
