Jobs where you mostly work on your own
Liking people and wanting to work beside them all day are different things. Work that runs on your own judgement, at your own pace, with handovers rather than huddles, suits someone who does their real thinking alone. These are live Australian listings that ask least of your appetite for working alongside others.
What we are actually measuring
This is collaboration preference. It runs between two ends, and neither one is the better place to be. It is simply a fact about how you work, and it decides whether a job you can do is a job you can keep.
- One end
- You do your best thinking alone
- The other
- You think out loud and work things out with other people
This page is about the highlighted end.

This is one of eight things that decide whether work suits you, and most people have never been asked about any of them. Talk to the coach for about five minutes and you will get all eight, with the evidence behind each one, and jobs matched on the lot.
