Technical
skills are
necessary.
Ask
scenario-based
questions to learn how a candidate would solve
typical
on-the-job problems. For example, ask a tool
saleman...
"How would you
sell me a pipe wrench?"
Soft skills
are also necessary.
- Soft skills like
ability to work well with
others.
- Ability to adapt
to your organization's
culture.
- Long-term
comittment.
The
training and time it takes to produce a
competent
colleague is too expensive to waste on someone who
will
not do what it takes to make you successful.
|
Adaptability
and
ability to learn are as
important as ability
to do the job.
Questions to ask
yourself...
"If I hire this person
will she stay
long enough to learn the job?"
"Is this someone I can
live with
eight hours a day?"
___________________________
It is easier to
hire someone
than it is to fire
someone.
Choose
wisely.
