For example, it’s always important to be well-organised, i.e. to plan things carefully and know exactly what you’re doing. It’s also important to be flexible, so that you adapt to changing situations. Being creative isn’t just a quality that artists and writers need – it’s essential in every job where you need imagination to think of new ideas or solutions to problems. Working in teams is always important, so it’s good if you are sociable and friendly. It’s vital that you are sensitive when working with other people. It’s also reliable, so that people know they can depend on you. It also helps if you are patient, so that you don’t panic or get angry when things start to go wrong. And, finally, it’s OK to be ambitious in your job and to want to be a big success.
