The areas at which I think I am most strong and that I know I can deliver really well is communication skills. Communication is important as it can help you with the verbal communication, managing conflict and other issues at which you will get whilst doing your job, dealing with clients and also talking to workers, being able to communicate with them and to get through the work that must be done as soon as possible.
