Are these terms correctly used in a resume?
Hello again!
I'd like to know whether the following expression sounds natural:
Embracement of corporative values
(I intend to use it when listing up soft skills in a resume)
I'm particularly concerned about the word "embracement" since I've found a rather limited range of cases in which it's used. And I'd also like to know if it conveys the meaning I'm aiming to get across, namely the ability to adopt and align with the core values of a company.
Would "Alignment with corporative values" be a valid alternative?
Thanks in advance!

Unfortunately, you need to provide the entire sentence and some preceding text to determine which one works better.
The problem is, 'embracement' can work even better than 'alignment, but you have to be very careful in its usage, otherwise it has the opposite effect and will be out of place.
'Alignment' is a safer word to use in that it is more forgiving on how you use it.

At least in the USA, "Alignment with corporate values" or "Alignment with core values" sound much more natural to me. Both "embracement" and "corporative" are uncommon words and might make you sound like you're trying too hard or come across as a bit pompous. Hope that helps!
