Keep in mind that we are always learning and hopefully accept-
ing new responsibilities, and thus even things that you may take
for granted, such as doing your laundry, balancing your check-
book, replacing a flat tire, or investing in the stock market as a
hobby, are all part of who you are and what you can do.
Just think of all the things you do in a day, a week, a year, or
a decade! You could probably write a book about it, but don’t
worry. We’re just going to stick to a one- or two-page résumé for
now.

Personal Characteristics

Personal characteristics are not like the other skills you’ve just
identified. Personal characteristics are not something that you do;
they instead represent something that you are.
