Guys, I have been working a remote job for about 3 years with very limited human interaction, sometimes we would have video calls here and there.
Recently, something happened to me and this is sort of a wake up call and finally decided that I am sick of it.
Growing up, I had a small group of close friends that I always hang with, but at one point I started isolating myself from people for years, and we stopped talking entirely.
I have been seeing a counselor for two weeks now about my issues, it made me feel better to know I was being heard.
And I met someone recently that suggested I should try marketing for event planning and branding and stuff as a change of pace.
For someone who has mild social anxiety/introversion, should I take the leap of faith and start applying for jobs in that area?
If you are not planning a family, marketing event jobs are best suited for singles or married people who don;t want kids. Recently, something happened to me and this is sort of a wake up call and finally decided that I am sick of it.

Thats because bosses want commitment to come during the weekends and at times work late nights to ensure the event is success.
if you have anxiety this role is not suitable for you. You need to be a good communicator and coordinator, to talk to your agencies and contractors to get the work done.
This job is for extroverts.
You also must be very forthcoming, good organizer and gain the trust of your boss. If you are a kura-kura everything keep to yourself, your boss ask you how is the event planning? can you do presentation or allay his worries or not?
If you want to do this role, better start from ground up to get use to it. Make sure you work in a team, some companies rely on 1 or 2 event people, then you will be struggling. Work in bigger companies, bigger teams, so someone can cover for your novice as you are just beginning.
You also must make sure you don't do mistakes, if forgot to invite VIP, or disorganize/sequence of the event out make confusion, or mishandling of press or forgot some props, timing of events off plan....you kena kaw kaw....
