We as human beings have the tendency to persuade in securing high ranks in academics. Scoring in academics may seem good but it is our personality which matters the most. It is a professional etiquette as a whole which initiates
with your speech. Your speech describes you the best. You may be a highly educated person from an esteemed institution, if you’re not able to present yourself, you don’t stand a chance in this competitive world.
In the sea of graduates, your required to stand out to acquire success in your life. Professional etiquette is being comfortable around people and making them comfortable around you. Presenting yourself with polish and professionalism that demonstrates you can be trusted and taken seriously is hard without influential traits, including your online presence.
Interviews are a phenemonon that students are nurtured and prepared for. From high school to graduation, a student is prepared for it, given tips and tricks, asked to attend sessions.
What is it? Why it is given importance? A student with the best academics should acquire a job. No need using of resources for small talk. Right? No, a good academics record is asked by every employer because they speak of your knowledge. Evaluation of any person’s academics does not mean the person is evaluated.
The small talk of an interview entail questions about your speech. You’re evaluated by asking a question most unexpected, how you handle the situation, satisfying the other person the following moments. For instance, my teacher used to recall of an interview of his acquaintance, who was said on entering the room, “I don’t like your face”, with a smile he replied, “it’s mutual”. You’re asked questions which you have to reply in a most informative manner or a contrary question in which you have to give the least informative response.
A most respected person is who criticises the least. As said by a great psychologist, Hans Selye, “As much as we thirst for approval, we dread condemnation”. The resentment that criticism engenders can demoralise people and still not correct the situation that has been condemned. Criticism is futile because it puts a person on the defensive and usually makes them strive to justify themselves. It is dangerous because it wounds a person’s precious pride, hurts their sense of importance and arouses resentment.
A safety coordinator for an engineering company recollected his experience, one of his responsibility was to see that workers wore their helmet whenever they are on the job in the field. He said, when he used to tell with a lot of authority of the regulation and that they must comply. He would get sullen acceptance, and often when he left, the workers would remove the hat.
He know tried with a different approach. The next time he found some of the workers not wearing their hard hat, he asked if the hats were uncomfortable or did not fit properly. Then in a pleasant tone of voice, he would remind that the hat was designed to protect them from injury and suggested that it always be worn on the job. The result was increased compliance with the regulation with no resentment or emotional upset.
Once a President of an important Wall Street bank, who had a little formal schooling, said in a talk, “For years I have kept an engagement book showing all the appointments I had during the day. My family never made any plans for me on Saturday night, for the family knew that I devoted a part of each Saturday evening to the illuminating process of self-examination and review and appraisal.” You can improve yourself with self-evaluation. Keep track of your activities and reviewing them on the weekend. Learning from your past experience is the best school of education. It is a highly efficient system for selfemprovement.
