As youth in the workplace, we often face many obstacles in our pursuit to excellence. For the past 10 or so years, we have been sitting in the classroom with little experience in the real world. Many teenagers simply do not know how to act in a professional setting. We have had years of math, science, and English, but not once did we have a class on professional etiquette. Additionally, it is very intimidating as a teenager to be in a workplace full of adults. We are often intimidated by adults undermining our abilities. Social intelligence is the concept of being able to adapt and understand a social situation. It consists of being presented as trusting and a not a push around. Social intelligence allows people to gain respect in the professional field. With the proper professional presentation, along with respect and etiquette, a young adult can gain the respect from co-workers and social intelligence to make them prepared to lead successful lives in the professional work force. One thing I can relate to the article is my personal presentation. Whenever I go to my mentorship, I always dress in professional attire to show that although I am a high school student, I can be extremely professional. Dress is extremely important in the professional setting. When dressed to impress, people take you more seriously, whereas if you arrived in jeans and a t-shirt, you would be asked to leave. The physical image one sends to his or her co-workers is extremely important in a successful work environment. |
