“If the coworker sitting next to you has “inflammation of the wing”, what will you do?”
Most experts today agree: A successful career is based on emotional intelligence (EQ) more than intelligence (IQ), skills and qualifications. People with high emotional intelligence often “catch” the emotions of others. As a result, they will know how to sympathize, negotiate and encourage.
People with high EQ will be deeply self-aware, know how to control emotions to achieve good working relationships. Therefore, today, when recruiting employees, companies not only evaluate professional knowledge, but also ask some situational questions to preliminary assess emotional intelligence and responsiveness.
Recently, an e-commerce company has raised a “unique – strange” question for candidates. The question has the following content: “If a colleague sitting next to you has “inflammation of the wing”, what will you do?”.

As we all know, “wing inflammation” (underarm odor) becomes serious due to various reasons such as: poor hygiene, digestive problems, genetic disorders of metabolism, liver or urinary tract disease. sugar, hormonal changes, eating food with a strong smell, etc. Not everyone with this disease is aware of the “strange smell” because they are so used to their bodies. Only when those around them signaled, they knew the alarming situation.
Either way, this is a very sensitive issue. If not sharing skillfully, it will make the sick person shy, and may even cause a relationship rift.
Therefore, when the recruitment council asked the above question, many candidates at the interview were embarrassed and confused. Xiao Lan (China) – a recent university graduate is equally confused.
To the question, the first candidate frankly answered: “In case I can’t stand the body odor of colleagues anymore, I will give direct advice. Indeed, the “strange smell” greatly affects my ability to concentrate and work morale as well as everyone else’s. around. That colleague must be aware of this and take measures to correct it. Even if it upsets them, I will still talk seriously.”
The second candidate behaved somewhat more tactfully: “I don’t think it’s a good idea to give feedback at work, it’s embarrassing. I’ll find an opportunity to invite colleagues out for coffee or a meal and then reveal it delicately. Alternatively, I can also text. private news if you’re afraid to say it”.
In turn, Tieu Lan said that she will not give honest advice but use actions to solve the problem. She would go to work very early, buy a bottle of deodorant and put it on a coworker’s desk when the office was empty.
After listening to Tieu Lan’s answer, the employer expressed satisfaction, then announced that she could go to work tomorrow. The recruitment council highly appreciates Tieu Lan’s emotional intelligence, intelligence, and sophistication. With such advantages, Tieu Lan will become an excellent professional employee who behaves wisely with everyone.
This is the reason why EQ is considered one of the important components to a person’s success.
