Ninja skills are good. Drawing, stacking things and cell phone skills.( how fast can you tweet?)

Picking jewelry is a good skill.

Pumping gas used to be in demand, now the self pumping masses have killed an entire industry.

  1. skills of your job title

  2. no cisco acquired political skills, to move up in career

  3. Hardwork , pure hardwork

it is best, if you skip cisco experience from your resume.

The ability to form a good alignment with directors and above is #1 skill. Else you can work but rewards and aerial protection will be scanty.
