There is no job that does not convey some business skills. Even though my career is primarily within the Oil & Gas Industry, I have still developed sound business skills. I am easy to talk to and very personable, which allows me to quickly establish a report with a customer, client, or coworker. This attribute directly associates to my customer service skills.
