Using Emotional Intelligence on the Job- Empathy and Social Effectiveness
Full Course: https://www.udemy.com/using-emotional-intelligence-on-the-job/?couponCode=BLR98
Empathy in social interactions
Because empathy is so important in relationships, it's vital for social effectiveness at work. When you're sensitive to emotional currents around you, you're more likely to say and do the right things. So others enjoy your company and like working with you.
Empathy is particularly important in diverse working environments, which bring together people from different backgrounds and cultures. If you're aware of emotional nuances, you're less likely to misinterpret people who have different ways of doing things.
Demonstrating empathy
Demonstrating empathy in the workplace provides a number of important benefits: it fosters an attitude of genuine caring for others it feels good and generates productive and satisfying relationships it increases trust and cooperation it builds bridges between people, soothing and dissipating strong emotions so problems can be solved and resistance overcome it's pre-emptive, which means it prevents emotional flare-ups and problems before they begin, and it provides information about what's important to people
The “feel good” factor
When people are attempting to be empathetic toward you, a sure tell that they aren't actually being empathetic is that it doesn't feel good. And I am sure you can think of times when people tried to be empathetic toward you and weren't. They were doing wrong something. What empathy isn't Telling others what you think they want to hear can come across as insincere.
So can automatically offering reassurances or trite aphorisms – for example, "Life's not fair." Each of these mistakes indicates you're not making a real effort to listen to another person. Showing empathy also doesn't involve trying to solve others' problems for them or sharing facts you think they've overlooked.
Empathy isn't about being saccharine, trying to please people, giving pat answers and reassurances, agreeing with people, or saying whatever you think they want to hear. It's also not about solving people's problems or educating them about the facts. (...)

- they listen without interruption or giving advice
- they read nonverbal cues such as tone of voice and body language
- they see things from other perspectives, understanding why people feel the way
- they do, and they act with sensitivity, being careful not to hurt, judge, or cut others off when they're speaking.

Emotional Intelligence on the Job - The Impact of Emotions
Full Course: https://www.udemy.com/using-emotional-intelligence-on-the-job/?couponCode=BLR98
To a large extent, your ability to perform the tasks associated with your job is based on your cognitive intelligence. However, your ability to succeed in the workplace is greatly influenced by the impact of emotions – your own and those of your colleagues, coworkers, and others you interact with on a daily basis.
Feelings – which include both emotions and mood – directly affect your outlook, thoughts, and relationships. These, in turn, can dramatically impact your productivity. Emotions are transient and can be intense. For example, you may dread the thought of giving a presentation, but the emotion dissipates quickly once you get into your stride.
Moods are less intense but longer lasting. For instance, if you enjoy your work, a happy mood colors your days – even if there are some difficult moments. Now, if you would take a moment to think about the "emotional landscape" of your workplace. How do emotions such as anxiety, anger, optimism, or seriousness affect your work, both positively and negatively?
Research indicates that emotions in the workplace measurably impact the performance of individuals and groups. Perhaps some of the things you noted about your own emotions follow along with research findings. Mild anxiety helps people to think through tricky problems, but intense anxiety prevents people from thinking clearly.
Anger impels you to take action, but can cause rash decisions, conflict, and misunderstandings. Optimism and good humor make it easier to think, work harmoniously with others, and be creative and persuasive. A sober mood aids methodical and accurate analysis, while desolation or despair lowers motivation, innovation, and cooperation. (...)

Using Emotional Intelligence on the Job - Course Overview
Full Course: https://www.udemy.com/using-emotional-intelligence-on-the-job/?couponCode=BLR98
Objectivity and Focus
Often getting a job done requires objectivity and a focus on the facts. But this doesn't mean you and your colleagues must leave your emotions at the door when you enter the workplace. In fact, taking emotions into account and managing them properly in the workplace can have several positive effects.
Positive effects of managing emotions
Your emotions have significant effects on your work performance, decision making, and interactions with others. Being aware of the role of emotions in the workplace can help you manage both yourself and others far more effectively. And, this can result in better decisions, productivity, and teamwork.
Emotional Intelligence Quotient (EQ)
As you might have guessed, it’s not me inventing this. Psychologist and author Daniel Goleman performed pioneering work when he identified key competency areas that make up a person's emotional intelligence quotient – commonly known as EQ.
These include personal and social areas, related to both awareness and management. This course focuses on the social aspects of EQ – empathy and relationship management. The self-awareness competency area is personal and relates to awareness, and self-management is personal but relates to management. Empathy is social and relates to awareness, and relationship management is social but relates to management.
Empathy
Empathy is the ability to sense and understand the emotions of others. It's directly tied to social effectiveness, making it easier to solve or prevent problems and conflicts. To show empathy, you need to identify and acknowledge others' emotions, suspend judgment, and demonstrate your availability and support.
Relationship management Relationship management determines your ability to build positive, productive relationships and communicate effectively. You can do this well only if you have skills in three other competency areas that make up EQ – self-awareness, self-management, and empathy. In other words, you need to be able to recognize and manage your own emotions and those of others before you can build effective relationships. (...)

Job Openings in Inspira
Full Course: https://www.udemy.com/get-a-great-job-work-for-the-united-nations/?couponCode=BL363
To receive Job alerts and perform Advanced Search you first have to register as user/login. For the purpose of this lesson on Job Openings on Inspira I choose the basic search. So I search again for an HR Position, I found 4 active, and I choose the first one.
Every job opening on Inspira contains the following information:
First - In the Heading the job title, the department/office, the duty station, the posting period, the job opening number, and UN core values. Read this carefully. The job title already gives you an idea about type of duties and expected qualifications even if you are not very familiar with UN terminology. You can be a project officer or an admin in different departments, offices or agencies. But most of the positions are specific to substantive sections.
A civil affairs officer will be in the civil affairs section. Some duty stations are more difficult than others, some are Francophone some Anglophone. 2/3 of UN Missions are in Francophone countries, so this will give you information about the expectations in terms of language proficiency.
I don’t personally remember a situation when I needed the job application number, other than for an interview or assessment for a position on what I applied some months before the “you are shortlisted” interview. Pretty useful for preparation to go back to the job opening and see all the details. Try to give meaningful names if you file this, for ease of reference.
Second you will have the Job Opening Description, which includes the Organizational Setting and Reporting, Responsibilities, Competencies, Education, Work Experience, Languages, and Standard Assessment Methods.
Since UN is so big a short description of the institutional framework in which is located the advertised position. The responsibilities are highly detailed most of the times and first define the context of the job and then the main substantive functions for the positions, for whom it works and with whom it interacts.
This will help you prepare for assessment and interview but mainly to tailor your Cover Letter and your CV. Use this information to have a successful application. Use keywords, use phrasing use structure.
Standard competencies are established for United Nations Secretariat Jobs. At least three most important are listed and described. And 1 - 2 more if the job includes managerial responsibilities. This makes CBI predictable and gives you the possibility to prepare in advance. You will be asked for examples and probed based on these examples for each competency markers, which are transparently presented.
So, try again to use that for your application and later for assessment and interview. Keywords, phrasing, structure. Adapt your experience to your job application and be prepared. During a 45’ to 3 hours assessment or interview you might forget things, you might choose a bad phrasing. Don’t let this happen.
The educational requirements clearly establish a minimum level for the specific job. Sometime you will also have the needed or desirable qualifications and certifications. The minimum work experience is following two parameters: - the required minimum number of years of experience and - the area of relevant experience.
In the Applicant's manual you will find the exact requirements for specific positions and the situations when these requirements can be reduced or will be evaluated in combination with education requirements.
You need to specify the languages you know and the level. Here some of us are tempted to over-estimate. Don’t. At an interview you will need to prove you are functional in a language required. For the desirable you might have some abilities and might be enough. But, if it’s required you need to be functional speaker.

Full Course: https://www.udemy.com/get-a-great-job-work-for-the-united-nations/?couponCode=BL363
I think I said it before, you don’t need to register or login to inspira to search or see job openings. But, to apply for one position you need a complete profile. And you can login, or register to Inspira differently if you are a staff or non-staff of UN.
Staff members are provided with a login and user id while non-staff must first register.
Staff already have a profile with older recruitment systems like Galaxy. So, they will not register. Their profiles migrated to Inspira. Staff original login is based on index number and a temporary password, and they will be recognized as staff with access to internally advertised jobs and also training.
Non-staff will need first to register and then you can use the ID and password to login, whether you land on Inspira through the Careers portal, directly or after a Job search. (...) Upon completion of the fields, click on the Register button. You will be automatically logged in to your inspira Careers Home page once you have successfully registered and created your login account.
The registration process has to be completed in a single session; otherwise data entered for an uncompleted registration will be lost. After a successful registration, you must use the same login information when returning to the system.
Use your full and correct name and data, UN has no legal obligation to change what you originally submitted. The information that appears on the Careers Home page is unique to the you and cannot be seen by other users, such as Notifications, Applications, Saved Job Searches.
(...)
That’s it, for login and registration. Next we are going to have an overview of the application process. Before going to details.
