Introduction

We’ve been learning about the character trait of enthusiasm, which is often considered an important skill for the workplace. Why might employers be looking for enthusiasm in their employees? How might you demonstrate enthusiasm?

Critical Thinking

Consider the following situation on your own: You are interviewing for a job and the hiring manager asks you to say why you are the best person for the job.

What do you do? Try to think of a few different things you could do (positive, negative, and neutral). What might the results of your actions be?

Collaboration

For a small group, each student presents their ideas to the whole class. Provide opportunity for positive feedback from peers or support if they are struggling to think of ideas.

For a larger group, divide students into small groups and have students present their ideas to the small group. Provide opportunity for positive feedback from peers or support if they are struggling to think of ideas.
