I would show my skills in what I’m capable of doing in a workplace professional and
nonprofessional which is:
• Goal setting
• Communication
• Active listening
• Problem solving
• Time management
I would show my ability of knowledge and show how important the position is within the
job they offer to me and I’ll be willing to learn from it so in the future I know what I am
doing in order to accomplish my goal and if there’s anything that I don’t know I’ll ask
questions about it to understand what I’m supposed to do to meet the requirements.
