1. Mechanic: Mechanics have a strong relationship with vehicles. Mechanics need rarely talk with customers, other than asking what the problem might be and spend the majority of their work time under the bonnet of the vehicle. Even comes with a sense of achievement from making something broken, work!

2. Cost estimator: Cost estimators can work alone, analysing the plans of a project to determine the potential costs. They try to calculate the costs of materials, labour, location and duration of the project to work out if their business manager should put in a bid for a contract.

3. Interior designer: Interior designers need to begin by meeting with their clients to establish their requirements and budget, but the majority of their time is spent planning and decorating. A lot of interior designers are self employed and work alone.

4. Librarian: Possibly the most obvious choice for a quiet person would be to work as a librarian; after all, their work environment is near silent. You can expect to spend most of your time organizing and maintaining library materials, and the remaining time will be spent directing advising and helping visitors.

5. Medical transcriptionist: Medical transcriptionists spend most of their time listening rather than speaking. They copy recordings made by doctors or other health-care professionals to reports, correspondence or other materials. The recording will be played into headphones and they will pause it with a foot pedal, with many working from home-based offices.

6. Network systems analyst: Network systems analysts work mainly with computers rather than people, designing, testing and checking computer systems. Working from home or not leaving the office is becoming more common for network systems analysts as more can be done from remote locations.

7. Survey researcher: The purpose of a survey researcher is to understand what people think. Instead of speaking to people on a face-to-face basis, they create and conduct surveys on the Internet, posted questionnaires or telephone interviews. A normal day may involve writing reports, developing charts and evaluating survey results; all alone.

8. Translator: Translators, well translate. Translators will translate from one language to another and most often from written materials. As a translator you will spend a lot of time reading, writing, editing and analyzing. Many translators conduct their work from home and one-fifth are self employed.

9. Undertaker: It doesn’t come much quieter than working with the dead. Of course, you will need to communicate with the family of the deceased when carrying out the funeral, but you can expect silence for the majority of the time.

10. Writers/Authors: It’s common to think of a writer or author to sit writing in silence. After all, with so much writing to do, it needs to be done in a quiet place in order to concentrate!
