This past Friday our class had the opportunity to hear from Evan Adams.\u00a0 A Grove City College grad, as well as a top sales associate from the trail blazing app \u201cNoWait,\u201d it\u2019s safe to say Evan knew a great deal about sales.\u00a0 We heard about his personal trials and triumphs as a post graduate in the world of sales in the start-up industry, and learned helpful interview tips.<\/p>\n
Before I continue with the post I must admit something.\u00a0 I am your typical \u201cType A\u201d person.\u00a0 My soul literally <\/em>feels at peace when I am cleaning and organizing, Linked In is my favorite social media platform, and if I could I would plan out every step of my life.\u00a0 Naturally I have been thinking about my life as a post graduate since the moment I stepped foot on campus as a freshmen, so when the topic of interviewing tips came up, my heart skipped a beat.<\/p>\n Towards the end of class Evan was asked the golden question, \u201cwhat is the key thing you look for when interviewing potential sales employees?\u201d His answer; emotional intelligence.\u00a0 Emotional Intelligence is the capacity to be aware of, control, and express one\u2019s emotions, and to handle interpersonal relationships judicially and empathically.\u00a0 In other words, emotional intelligence is the key to both personal and professional success.<\/p>\n
