Blog # 2 work readiness skills

      I use many of the work readiness skills in my internship at the YMCA. One work readiness skill I use in my internship is to be tolerant. For example, when a baby is crying extremely loud, I have to be tolerant of her behavior. I learned that not everyone is going to do what you expect or want them to do. Another work readiness skill that I use is professionalism. For example I cannot wear a fancy dress or high heels to  watch children at the YMCA. I have to wear something comfortable, and that I can be active in, but I definitely can't look like I just got out of bed. I learned that you cannot dress any way you want at work. Lastly, I had to work harder with the work readiness skill of serving the needs of others. For example, I had to work harder to try to figure out what the babies needed or wanted so they would stop crying. These are just a few examples of how these skills are used during my internship.
