Employability skills also include:

• Time/Space (e.g. attendance, punctuality, meeting deadlines)
• Physical Characteristics (e.g. appropriateness of clothes), Social Competence (respect toward others)
• Work Performance (taking initiative, providing quality work, work speed)
• Social Competence (respect toward others)
