4-1- Describe a skill you are good at. Explain why this skill is important to you.
Out of the many skills that I have, I can say I'm particularly good at listening. It may sound trivial, but real listening is a skill that takes time to practice and I can say that over the years I managed to improve this skill. It's important for me because in a professional setting, there are many people who speak without listening and tend to make mistakes or say something wrong. By real listening to the other person, I can put myself in their shoes and understand the problem better.
