Personal Traits
Great! Now we’re ready to move on to another set of skills
called personal traits. They are every bit as important as your
general skills, and they usually make up a set of personal char-
acteristics that you possess. These skills have more to do with
who you are than what you do, and they bear heavily upon your

attitude, your work habits, your ethics, and the way you relate
to other people.
When the employer asks a question like “What would your
former boss have to say about you?” or “What did your form-
er coworkers think of you?” it’s very useful to be able to de-
scribe yourself using three or four of the adjectives in the next
exercise.

Personal Traits Inventory

Go through the following list twice. The first time, go through
the list and place a checkmark beside the traits that apply to you.
There’s nothing to be gained from being modest. If you asked any good
friend or coworker, he or she would probably agree that you do,
indeed, possess those qualities!
