Great Jobs for Detail-Oriented People
Many job listings say “detail-oriented” is a necessary skill, but some jobs require more attention to detail than others. Some careers that are good for detail-oriented people include those in the health care industry such as dentists, lab technicians, pharmacists and surgeons; those in financial services, such as accountant or actuary; and those that create complex structures, such as architects or engineers.
“With the advent of blogs and social media there has come to be a general acceptance of sloppy, less-than-professional writing that has not only weakened content overall, but made strong, consistent, powerful writing -- that which can only be performed by the highly detail-oriented is an art form,” Terach explains. “Speeches, print and Web brochures, job aids, technical documentation, presentations and website and intranet copy need to be written by those who are not only quick with the pen, but can also manage content (oftentimes using software), making it usable, consistent and easy to access.” The detail orientation is necessary for formulating strategy, and putting the plan in motion requires a person comfortable with risk.”
And fine craftsmen pay attention to detail like quality assurance employees, Ashraf says. “However, its a myth that creative roles do not require attention to detail. In fact from visual merchandising in retail, to graphic design, attention to detail is a defining criterion of finding a good professional.”

GRAMMAR COMMENT
Reported speech [1.p 140].
We use reported speech to report what someone has said without using their exact words. [3]
When we change direct speech to reported speech, we often make the verb form go one tense back.
E.g. ‘ Tom lives in Germany,’ said Claire.
Claire said that Tom lived in Germany.
