Evaluation for Question #8365

In recent years, many managers are focusing more on hiring people with high emotional intelligence rather than those with advanced degrees. I totally agree with this recruitment method, but I would give benefits for both sides about this topic.

On the side that I support, people with good social skills can help the companies or agencies develop more sustainably. Firstly, a person with high emotional quotient can communicate smoother, that could lead to higher percentage of success in every negotiation. Another thing, a person with emotional intelligence would have good teamwork skills, they can talk smartly and avoid conflict as much as they can. Last but not least, people with high EQ can come up with appropriate sales or negotiation plans to help increase the company's revenue and sales efficiency. In short, social skills can create a non-toxic working environment, help increase team’s or companies’ productivity.

On the other hand, having high degrees or qualifications means they really have potential in that field. For example, there are many jobs that require a good certificate to ensure that they are capable of doing that work such as Medicine, Engineering or Teaching. By studying in those fields, people can gain the necessary experience and knowledge through training needed to perform complex and specialized tasks. Moreover, achieving high qualifications like bachelor’s or master degrees proves that they have strong mental and discipline to maintain their knowledge through process, those certificates not only require intelligence but also resilience and focus. These characteristics are important in any work environment and can contribute significantly to job success.

Having looked at both sides, people with high qualifications can show their effort and discipline, the quality in communication to make better environment still outweighs. Personally, I could no't agree more with the opinion that we should hire people with high social skills.
