Executive International Business Question:

Prepare a list of your proficiencies and choose three or four that are the most relevant to the job you are applying for. Concentrate on discussing your main strengths. Avoid popular clichés, such as:

Focus on your more dynamic skills, such as:
► I learn quickly.
► I have a strong determination to succeed.
► I have a positive attitude.
