Enterprising
Enterprising people like situations that involve using resources for personal or corporate economic gain.

Some have an entrepreneurial inclination.
Social

Many will seek out positions where there is direct contact with the public in some advisory role, whether a receptionist or a counsellor. Social people are motivated by an interest in different types of people and like diversity in their work environments. Many are drawn towards careers in the caring professions and social welfare area, whilst others prefer teaching and other 'informing' roles.
