These are identified as:
Communication– what are the different ways we communicate and how do you rate your skills?
Time Keeping – how good is your time keeping? Do you complete tasks on time?
Organisation – good organisation is key. How well organised are you?
Resilience – how well do you manage stress? How resilient do you think you are?
Independence – how independent are you? Are you happy to work on your own initiative?
