To excel in a career, everyone has to face an interview.
An interview is an inevitable part of our life and career.
When we meet someone, ask us about our whereabouts; it is too one kind of interview. Try your best to answer those questions; it will help you to develop your interview skills.┬а┬а
So one must always be prepared for an interview.
In professional interviews, an important question is ” Tell me about yourself?”.
Many candidates though well-prepared, fail to answer this question. The reason is that most of the candidates answer this question monotonously. The candidate whose answer is professional and promising has more chances of cracking the interview.
A simple formula for answering, “Tell Me About Yourself?”
Talk a little bit about what your current role is, the scope of it, and perhaps a recent accomplishment.┬а
Talk about how you can be an asset to the job you’re applying for.┬а
Mention your previous experience relevant to the job and company you’re applying to.
Talk about your professional qualities and objectives.
Nowadays, EQ is a better indicator of success in the workplace.
According to research, personal qualities such as perseverance, self-control, and skill in getting along with others influence our success. Workers with high EQ are better able to work in teams, adjust to change, and be flexible.
Research has found that individuals with strong leadership potential are more emotionally intelligent.
Emotional intelligence enhances the following traits in us:
Has a healthy sense of self-awareness;
Understands strengths and weaknesses;
A person with a high EQ can maturely reveal emotions and exercise restraint when needed;
Emotionally intelligent people are self-motivated;
A person who has empathy has compassion and an understanding of human nature that allows connecting with other people on an emotional level. The ability to empathize allows a person to respond genuinely to other’s concerns;
Emotionally intelligent people can build rapport and trust quickly with others.
An emotional quotient (EQ) or emotional intelligence is the ability to identify, assess, and control the emotions of oneself, others, and groups.
People with high EQ can :
Manage emotions;
Monitor emotions;
Label them appropriately;
Use emotional information to guide thinking and behavior;
Use them for positive thinking;
Identify, evaluate, control, and express their own emotions;
Understand emotional meanings.
People with high EQ generally achieve more, excel at teamwork and service, and take more initiative.
From an early age, encouraging qualities like sharing, thinking about others, putting oneself in another person’s shoes, giving space, and the general principles of cooperation can inculcate emotional awareness in children.
EQ is partially determined by how a person relates to others and maintains self-control. Through effective coaching, young adults can also enhance their EQ.
Some strategies for teaching emotional intelligence include offering character education, modeling positive behaviors, encouraging people to think about how others are feeling, and finding ways to be more empathetic toward others.
Many people think EQ is only about being good at interconnecting with people, which can be, but it starts with your self-perception and levels of self-awareness. The change will only happen when you are aware of your emotions…тЬНя╕П
