Trish was contemplating while on board of a public utility vehicle on her
way to Cagayan de Oro City where she was scheduled for an interview and
teaching demonstration in one of the private universities. Well, anyway she is an
hour or two early for the interview. She was perplexed whether she made a great
decision in choosing a teaching career while in fact what she wants is to become
a lawyer. She decided to forego schooling for a year after two years in the
college of law for some personal reasons. She finished a bachelor’s degree in
English and Literature in college. Teaching English is her last to none priorities.

However, she remembers the word of a great author, John Raftery, who
said that one of the key success indicators in any professional endeavors is
emotional intelligence. She needs to be emotionally stable (self-awareness) and
focus herself to this new job; Second, is her inner drive (motivation). She needs
the job for a pay and she knew that she will learn to love sharing with students
and more importantly, she can do the job because she is equipped with the
technology and wit (self- efficacy). Additionally, she saw the need to teach and
make a difference in the lives of students (empathy).

When she was approaching to the office of the academic dean of the
university, she quips and said, “I need to be more composed I was trained to be
socially smart (social dexterity). This is it….this is the job. I need to win the fear
and overcome the hot seat for the job interview. I need to get the job!”
