Having developed these attributes
Hi,
Question1:
Do I use "developed" correctly?
Question2:
Do I use "attributes" correctly?
Sentence:
I am self-motivated, able to work under pressure.
I have good communication and time management skills.
Having developed these attributes, I am always able to deliver my work to the highest standard.
Thanks

Re: Having developed these attributes
Hi,
It seems like it is for your resume. I would suggest not to confuse your employer with difficult or arguable statements. You can simply put it as ''With these attributes..''
On the other hand, it is an incorrect construction of sentences.
Secondly.. it should be 'standards' not 'standard'.
Regards,
Swati

Thank you for your reply.
"an incorrect construction of sentences"
could you please tell me more?
"should be 'standards' not 'standard'"
the highest standard should be singular, because only 1 standard is the highest.
So, should be standard, not standards.
In my opinion.

Yes, it's perfect.
It could be standards. Your work is likely to involve more than one activity, and each of them has a standard. So there can be more than one highest standard.
My typing is of the highest standard (for typing) and my spelling is also of the highest standard (for spelling).
But it's a minor point - your intention is understood.

Hi,
Thank you. Your reply is very helpful.
In my opinions,
Work is uncourtbale, so I thnk I can say standard only.
If I replace "work" by "tasks", then I can use standards, because task is courtable.
So, there are 2 correct versions and 2 incorrect versions.
Correct sentence1:
"I am always able to deliver my work to the highest standard."
Correct sentence2:
"I am always able to deliver my tasks to the highest standards."
Incorrect sentence1:
"I am always able to deliver my work to the highest standards."
Incorrect sentence2:
"I am always able to deliver my tasks to the highest standard."
Do you agree?

I truly don't think it matters which you use.
If you judge your work by a certain standard, use singular. If you try to meet standards, use the plural.

All 4 sentences are correct? 
1) "I am always able to deliver my work to the highest standard."
2) "I am always able to deliver my tasks to the highest standards."
3) "I am always able to deliver my work to the highest standards."
4) "I am always able to deliver my tasks to the highest standard."

Yes.
You can do one thing that meets standards of neatness, correctness, quality ...
You can do several things that all work together to achieve a specific standard.
