My opportunities were following instructions, logical thinking, cooperating, writing, and researching. I would have to agree to a certain extent. There are some things that do not interest me, so I would do whatever it took to get the job done even if that means not following the instructions through to completion. Researching is also not a strong point especially if I am uninterested in the topic. If it is something I am passionate about, I will research and provide a thorough report.
In my career persuasive communication will definitely help. In customer service management, I have to
