Enhancing employability is the buzzword in a recessionary phase. In this crucial phase, managing Emotional Quotient (EQ) is one of the keys to enhance one's employability. Emotional quotient is the use of the right emotion at the right time at the right place and with the right intensity. Learning the skills of EQ management can save the shrinking boat of an aspirant in this competitive job market.

It is the day of an interview. Like many others you feel you are another average candidate at the pool. Before attending the interview, you have accepted that you may fail. You are convinced that you will not be able to answer some questions by the panel. You believe somewhere that the panel is full of reasons to reject you. But, have you ever had a feeling of, "I am brilliant or I am the best fit".

Why can't you think in these terms? What is wrong? Why are you not confident? Why are you dubious about the result?

The answer may be—you are not prepared properly or you don't know what is expected from a candidate like you. Preparation here does not mean having better English communication skills, perfect body language or overall knowledge. Each job demands certain unique features. They differ in their knowledge and skill demands. The candidates need to prepare accordingly. Yes, there may be certain common features, but one needs to concentrate on the differences as well. Ability to prove the difference at such points brings success. Identification and preparation in these criteria can only prove one's `Employability'.
