My advice is reading: "The Introvert Advantage", Marti Olsen Laney. It may not fit your general character (you may be an extrovert, it's hard to tell at this point), but the book has some very good hints on how to make an advantage of such thinking style. Regarding finding a job, solving puzzles that one forgets ten minutes later is rarely a major part of a technical job. You should better stick to building proofs of your skills (e.g. portfolio).
