在竞争日渐激烈的求职市场,求职者们都使尽浑身解数,想通过自己的聪明才智、专业技能得到HR的青睐。但是,要想在求职中脱颖而出,我们除了要有IQ这一硬件,还得有软件——职场EQ。职场EQ是指一个人掌控自己和他人情绪的能力在职场和工作中的具体表现,更加侧重对自己和他人的工作情绪的了解和把握,以及如何处理好职场中的人际关系,是职业化的情绪能力的表现。
Simone: Hey, Ludwig. How’s it been going lately?
Ludwig: Oh, hello there, Simone. Things have been excellent lately. Perfect. I’ve never been better. ①I’m walking on sunshine.
Simone: Really? Something tells me you’re being less than honest.
Ludwig: Rats! You’re right. Things haven’t been going well at all lately. ②What gave me away?
Simone: The eyes are the window to the soul, you know, and your eyes weren’t smiling.
Ludwig: I guess I can’t hide anything from the likes of you! How did you get such a high EQ, anyway?
Simone: I guess I’ve always just had a 1)knack for reading people. You have no need to be jealous, though; your IQ is so high it’s scary.
Ludwig: Well, thanks! ③However, my IQ hasn’t been pulling its own weight lately. No matter how smart I make myself look in job interviews, I can never land the job.
Simone: Ah, finally we get to the heart of the matter! You’re having trouble getting a job and you don’t know why.
Ludwig: ④Exactly! I go into every interview with guns 2)blazing. I always make sure they know I’m smarter than them, and yet they never seem to get it.
Simone: I think I know what the problem is.
Ludwig: How could you possibly know what the problem is? No 3)offense, but like you said earlier, I’m on another level in terms of IQ. If I can’t figure it out, I’m sure you can’t either.
Simone: See? That’s exactly the problem. ⑤You’re trying to cash in on your IQ, but what you don’t realize is that EQ is just as important for landing a job.
Ludwig: But I’m an engineer, not a 4)psychiatrist. EQ doesn’t help me design a better machine.
Simone: ⑥But you won’t be working in a 5)vacuum. No matter what you do for a living, you do it with other people, and working well with them is important.
Ludwig: I hadn’t thought about it that way.
Simone: To them, you’re just a fresh graduate with no experience. ⑦No matter how smart you are, if you think you already know everything, you’ll never grow into the job, and you’ll never learn to fit in with the rest of the team.
Ludwig: Your logic is sound. I admit my error. So how can I make them think I have sufficient EQ?
Simone: That was a pretty quick about-face. Well, the best way to convince you have a high EQ is to actually develop a high EQ. ⑧Spend more time listening to others, observing people, trying to imagine walking a mile in someone else’s shoes. Ludwig: I don’t have time for that much self-improvement. I need a quick fix, or I’ll be out of money before I get a job. Simone: Well, in that case, try acting more human in the interview. Make yourself look smart, but also humble. Try to connect with them as people, not just as engineers. Try to have a bit of the human touch.
Ludwig: That sounds challenging.
Simone: I’m sure your IQ is up to the task!
Ludwig: Well, intelligence isn’t everything, you know.
Simone: Now you’ve got it!
西蒙妮:嘿,路德维格。你最近怎样了?
路德维格:噢,你好,西蒙妮。我最近很好啊。非常好。我从来没有这么好过。我正春风得意呢。
西蒙妮:真的吗?直觉告诉我你在说谎。
路德维格:胡说!你说得对。最近我不太好。是什么出卖了我?
西蒙妮:你知道的,眼睛是心灵的窗户,你的眼睛都笑不出来。
路德维格:我想在像你这样的人面前我无法隐瞒什么!话说回来,你的情商怎么那么高?
西蒙妮:我认为自己总是有读懂人心的本领。尽管如此,你也没必要嫉妒。你的智商高得吓人。
路德维格:好吧,谢谢你!但是,我的智商最近都没有发挥出来。无论我在面试中表现得多么聪明,还是找不到工作。
西蒙妮:啊,我们终于说到关键的地方了!你找工作遇到了麻烦,却不知道为什么。
路德维格:的确!我总是全力以赴地参加每个面试,总是想让他们知道我比他们聪明,而他们好像并没有发觉到。
西蒙妮:我想我知道问题所在了。
路德维格:你怎么可能知道问题是什么?我没有冒犯你的意思,但是就像你之前所说的,关于智商我是在另外一个水平。如果我不能想出来,我想你也不能。
西蒙妮:知道吗?这就是问题所在。你想尽量利用你的智商,但是你没意识到情商对于找工作也同样很重要。
路德维格:但我是个工程师,不是心理学家。情商不能帮助我设计出更好的机器。西蒙妮:但是你不能在真空中工作。不管你是通过什么谋生,你都要与他人合作的,跟他们友好地工作很重要。
路德维格:我从来没有那么想过。
西蒙妮:对于他们来说,你只是一个刚毕业没有经验的人。不管你有多么聪明,如果你认为自己已经了解了一切,你就不能在工作中成熟起来,那么你就不会学会和团队的其他人合得来。
路德维格:你的逻辑是合理的。我承认我的错误。那么我如何才能让他们觉得我有高情商呢?
西蒙妮:你的想法很快转变了。好吧,最能让人相信你有个高情商的方法就是真正地培养自己的高情商。花更多的时间聆听他人的想法,观察他人的举动,尝试站在他人的立场上想问题。
路德维格:我没有时间去做那样的自我完善,我需要速战速决,否则在找到工作以前我就变成穷光蛋了。
西蒙妮:好吧,那样的话,你在面试中要表现得更加人性化,让你自己看起来聪明,但是也要谦虚。尝试把别人当作朋友,而不只是工程师。试着表现得更有人情味。
路德维格:这听起来很有挑战性。
西蒙妮:我相信凭借你的智商肯定能完成任务!
路德维格:好吧,你懂的,智商不能决定一切。
西蒙妮:现在你明白了!
