A guaranteed way to get the job of your dreams
This article goes into detail in the discussion of youth and how they can find themselves in trouble when applying and maintaining a job. Employers state that they find youth too loud, too forward, too self-absorbed, and lacking self-awareness. This all boils down to not having any social intelligence. As defined, social intelligence is defined as the capacity to effectively negotiate complex social relationships and environments. Social intelligence is knowing when or when not to speak up. It it also knowing when to talk about yourself. It is not however, taking advantage of your new job and acting like you are the best employee that the company has ever had. Remember, your first priority is doing the job you were assigned. If there is ever a time when youth should reign in their emotions and get to work is during this learning period of your first job.
This article made me realize that social skills are probably the most important part of every job. Knowing how to have a successful conversation with your boss and other coworkers is the key to having a long career with a single company. If every at the job likes you because you are easy-going and well versed, then you have just practically hired yourself. According to the article, this is want employers want. They want somebody that will fit into their company with no hiccups and who will not overstep their boundaries.
