From Landing Interviews to Getting Hired

Credentials help one secure a seat in front of the interviewer, but credentials alone won’t take you to the next level. Technical skills help you get hired, but soft skills empower you to show up with the confidence, professionalism, and competence required to earn a promotion.

At EQ Wize, we help students and recent graduates differentiate themselves. EQ Wize certifications help you unlock obstacles standing between you and your career development. Stand out now by adding professional certifications and soft skills that today’s employers are actively looking for.

Improve Your Interview Skills Now

Speak Your Mind Professionally!

EQ stands for Emotional Quotient, which is your ability to interact more effectively, both emotionally and socially. Backed by research, EQ is often more valuable than IQ, especially for long-term career growth, happiness, and success.

At EQ Wize, we noticed a soft skills gap among Gen Z and spent the next year extensively researching ways to help close it. Now, at EQ Wize, we offer time-efficient courses to professionals who struggle to read the room, communicate effectively, manage stress, problem-solve, and show up with confidence.

These courses are approved by the Continuing Professional Development Standards Office (CPDSO), boosting your credibility and helping you impress organizations with outstanding emotional intelligence, critical thinking, and business etiquette skills.

The Challenge Today

Right now, young adults are navigating one of the toughest job markets since 2008 and the pandemic. Gen Z’s unemployment rate is more than double the national average, not to mention the recent graduates who are working jobs outside of their areas of study – finance majors who are working in fast food and marketing majors who are working in Amazon fulfillment centers. Factors like AI, business uncertainty, excessive screen time, the pandemic, and fierce competition have come together to create the perfect storm.

01

The Soft Skills Gap

In today’s competitive job market, academic achievement is no longer enough. You must be able to read the room, adapt to your environment, and behave accordingly.

Being able to communicate, adapt, and show resilience are the traits employers are looking for. These traits are the soft skills that aren’t always taught in school, resulting in most graduates entering the professional world without formal training and development in emotional intelligence.

EQ Wize fills this gap, supporting and encouraging people to achieve their goals, expand their résumé, and unlock the door to future opportunities – without spending a fortune.

02

The Résumé Problem

A résumé is one of the most important tools young graduates and professionals have to position themselves for valuable opportunities. But unless they have done something truly exceptional in their education or early career, most résumés look more alike than different.

03

The Solution: Specialty Certifications

EQ Wize specialty certifications add value to a résumé by showing more than just education. They demonstrate motivation, work ethic, a commitment to personal and professional development, and a desire to stand out. Because EQ is typically a greater predictor of happiness and success than IQ, EQ Wize certifications are particularly transformational.
