Cultural Tip

In French business communication, "points forts" is a common way to talk about strengths, especially in résumés and performance reviews. The abbreviation "pro" is acceptable in spoken or informal written French, but in formal reports or cover letters you should use "professionnels" to keep the tone professional.
