Q: I need an example of how these school skills can be used in a workplace. How can these skills be applied at a workplace?
1. Communication Skills
•Giving class presentations
•Reading articles and books
•Writing essays, short stories & poetry
2. Teamwork Skills
•Getting along with others
•Working with others on projects
•Participating in extracurricular activities—band, basketball, clubs
A: I am a natural health care doctor. I use communication skills to listen to my patients explain to me what is wrong with them (their symptoms) and then I explain to my patients why they have certain symptoms (what is making them sick), and how the kind of medicine I practice can help them get well.
I teach classes about Nutrition and Weight Loss in my community.
Giving class presentations helped me to learn how to be a public speaker. I read articles and books every single day, because I am always learning more to be able to help my patients get better faster. I write articles about Nutrition, Weight Loss and Natural Healthcare for magazines to help people learn about different ways they can take care of their bodies and get well.
It is important for me to get along with others, because if my patients don’t like me, they will find another doctor. If my staff doesn’t like me, they will find a new boss.
My clinic is hosting a fund-raiser for domestic violence victims in October. It is a very big project that involves getting sponsors to donate prizes (we have a car dealership that donated a car, and other businesses that have donated services or gift certificates), and a cable company donated $10,000 of TV commercial time, and a radio station $5,000 of advertising time, and there are many other steps to doing the fund raiser, and my partner and I and all of our staff each have to work together to do little pieces of the project at a time so we can get it all done.
Participating in extracurricular activities taught me how to be a co-host for a talk radio show, to volunteer in my community, stay physically active, and being in clubs now helps me meet people who are interested in the kind of medicine I practice and gives me an opportunity to help more people.
All of these things help me in my job every single day. I hope the examples of how I use these skills helps you see how you might be able to use these skills yourself. Good luck! Dr.Kim

Everything you have listed is a vital part of any job yu might take , whether it be flipping burgers , or an electrical engineer . You see if you do not have good communication skill then you can not get across the proper message and if you can’t get along with yoour fellow workeers or the customers then the boss does not need you. As far as reading , the more you know the more valuable you become . Reading will get you there. Band and extracurricular activities will teach you to function of a part of a unit in order to make the entire process work .
