you're giving me semantics, sailor, so i'll give you the same: you implied that ALL jobs were looking for detail oriented people, i just proved you wrong.LOL "some jobs". That's a bold overstatement... how about "next to no" jobs?
We all know jobs comparable to being an army general are just as plentiful as those comparable to enlisted men.
besides, since there are so many less people being N, it is only natural that there would be less N based jobs, don't you think? and if you can't find those, then i'm thinking you're looking in the wrong places. try google?
Sentura, I think what Mac was trying to say is that whether or not the actual tasks of a job are all about details (although for most jobs, they *are*), that employers don't actively look for people who would describe themselves as "not detail oriented - more of a big picture person". Are there exceptions? Probably. But in my experience they are VERY rare (as in, I've never seen one - Mac's "all" is a more accurate general statement than "some" or even "a large majority" would be). The reason people hire other people to work for them is to take care of the details the employer doesn't have time for - the employer thinks that they themselves are in charge of the big picture - even if the job's for a "big picture" type role - the scope of "details" changes much more than the employer wanting a "detail oriented" person.
Let's face it - a lot of people see "not really detail oriented" as meaning "lazy and not conscientious." It's probably not as bad a thing to put on your resume as "convicted felon" - but it's going to be a stumbling block against getting hired for almost anything (you'd want to do) either.
