Employers are now more looking to:
1. Become employers of choice by creating an emotionally intelligent culture through training and development.
2. Hiring for emotional intelligence.
Here are two rules for hiring from NY Times and Monster (with my comments)
Hiring the Best People -- 10 Simple Rules:
"2. Hire for Attitude Rather than Skill (Attitude is EQ)
Teaching skills is a snap compared with doing attitude transplants. Among the qualities you'll want most is a fierce sense of optimism. (An EQ skill)
3. Look for Renegades
In interviews, ask when the person has been in trouble. The obedient employee will be of limited use to you in this change-up environment. ((Do they mean authentic instead of politically correct, socialized and dependent?)
"

Be well,
Joseph

Cheers!
Best of luck for the Future!
