1. Two skills that I have developed through experience is customer relations and sales of products and services. Two skills that are natural to me would be being able to gauge and read the room, and the ability to connect well with people.

I believe the skills will be helpful to me in my career in many ways. Having customer relationship experience is important in an industry where you’re directly dealing with customers. When you understand your product, you are more effectively able to sell it. When you know your target market you are more able affectively to sell.  sell to who is most likely to be interested. Putting the combination of those two together creates a successful sales experience. 

There are definitely a few skills that I need to develop for future success. I would like to have a better understanding of Microsoft excel, I understand that this is used for accounting and finance, and even inventory. It’s one thing to have an employee who can manage it for you, but it’s also another thing to be able to navigate through it. Should you ever need to. Understanding how to read a spreadsheet also helps you to make sure you’re not having money stolen or to understand where money is coming from and where its going. 

2. One advantage of having previous work experience is that it enables you to gain insight into your passions and interests, as well as your strengths and limitations and areas in which you can develop. Another advantage is that it enables you to recognize areas where you have room for improvement. Two skills I can acquire through experience are working effectively in a team and improving my self-confidence and self-esteem. This ability will be helpful to me in my professional life because working can be challenging at times. However, if you can cooperate with a group of coworkers to produce better results, you will be more successful. Being self-assured and having high self-esteem will make it easier to acknowledge your limitations and seek assistance. In particular, make it a habit to engage in self-care, as this is vital to your emotional and physical well-being.
Many innate skills can describe me, but when it comes to the workplace, I believe perseverance and honesty are essential qualities. It is imperative to possess these skills when working with people, specifically in mental health. We have to be honest with them in order to win their confidence, and we have to be persistent if we want to help them achieve the goals that they have set for themselves. Having abilities such as these, however, is essential for any employment.
