Question

things employers are looking for are competence, promptness, and teamwork.
first, competence is when an individual is able to listen, understand, and learn. competence does not mean that an individual knows everything, but rather that the individual is able to hear instructions and do the job. second, promptness is necessary to be a good employee. a prompt individual is one who arrives early enough to begin work when they are scheduled to, not merely arriving at that time. and third, teamwork is critical to success in the workplace. being part of a team requires that an individual be pleasant, follow directions, and be professional.
these things are in some ways common sense, but they can be difficult to do consistently. it is important to build good habits before one enters the workforce. building habits of competence, promptness, and teamwork will make an individual a good candidate for employment.

competence
athleticism
