Communication in the Workplace: In the job application process, your first opportunity to make an impression and demonstrate your communication skills is through your résumé.  

Teamwork:  Employers are looking for leaders who can work as part of a team. Teamwork is a process that involves working together with other individuals to achieve a common goal or find solutions to shared problems.

Problem-Solving: Decision making and problem solving involve gathering reliable information, evaluating that information for solutions and selecting the best option based on the situation. Using your problem solving skills to find a job requires locating different sources for job hunting, evaluating those sources for opportunities, and using those sources to find a job in your career path.

Work Ethics: A work ethic is a set of professional work standards an employee demonstrates in his job. Work ethic affects the way an employee interacts with team members, co-workers and overall attitude towards his job. Your reputation is formed by your attitude and work ethic and determines how people view you personally and professionally.

Professional Image and Behavior:  Being professional is one of the most important aspects of being successful at your job. Your professionalism could open the door to other career opportunities. Professionalism is determined by how you present yourself, communicate and interact with others.
