Recruiting for a job and I'm struck by the ineptitude of graduate CVs.

Lol...I was required to do a course on Emotional Intelligence at work

The only thing I learnt was that I work with a bunch of weak minded sensitive types.

During the course they showed movie clips as examples...one of them was that baseball won where Tom hanks is screaming at the girl and then speaker paused it and said - who would like to explain what was wrong here

I sat there thinking - I’m glad I’m getting paid for this.

What I strongly suspect, t, is that people claiming to have 'emotional intelligence' are attempting to cover for the fact that they lack actual intelligence. It's like when people say fat birds have a 'great personality'.
