An appropriate synonym for “skills” in this context?

Question

Which synonym, term or phrase can I use instead of 'skills' to create a sentence?

I believe that my skills and strengths are an excellent match for your company profile.

Answer 1

Most job descriptions list skills. There is probably little need to use a word other than "skills" on a letter of interest or resume. You could use "abilities," but employers are looking for "skills" and they might not make the connection. Yes, there are some that lack that skill.
