• B. Professional writing, Graphic design, Customer surveys.
• C. Excellent customer service, Flexibility, Confidence.
• D. Inventory management, Sales forecasting, Negotiation.

Answer: (C)

Work history often translates into strengths that help you connect with people, adapt to changing situations, and carry yourself with assurance. Excellent customer service shows you know how to meet guests’ needs and handle requests effectively. Flexibility reveals you can adjust to shifting priorities, stay composed under pressure, and collaborate in a dynamic environment. Confidence comes from experiences where you’ve taken on responsibilities, communicated clearly, and trusted your own judgment. These three together capture the everyday, transferable strengths gained from previous work, especially in roles that involve guest interactions and teamwork.

The other sets focus more on technical or specialized skills—coding, data analysis, graphic design, or inventory and forecasting—that, while valuable, don’t as broadly reflect what people typically gain from prior work in terms of interpersonal effectiveness and adaptability, which are crucial in a Disney College Program context.
