It is important to remember to effectively describe how you have developed and used these characteristics rather than just list them under a skills section. Also, be sure your resume accurately reflects your personality and abilities.
Be prepared to answer questions about items on your resume and provide examples during interviews. Have a list of times that you took on a leadership role for a team project or examples of how your willingness to learn helped you quickly master a new technology ready to discuss so that you aren't caught off-guard.

Be sure to focus on how you can supply the company with fresh ideas, positive energy, and technical talent.
