1. Scan the following list of general skills.
2. Make a checkmark next to those skills you have used
reasonably well. It’s possible that you have used a skill
only once but are still reasonably proficient with it so
that you could use it again if you had the chance.

you have these skills. You need not be an expert in

a work environment. Think carefully back to school,
recreational, social, or volunteer situations in which
you may have used these skills:
