Consider the iron argument for hiring inexperienced youth. Not every company, especially in the early stages, can afford to hire a “ superstar “ – a highly qualified professional. Most companies, especially in the development stage, are willing to take newcomers to grow with them.

This hypothesis requires the right approach. There are 7 main features for candidates that are not discussed:

  • respect;
  • trust;
  • loyalty;
  • responsibility;
  • faith;
  • courage;
  • Thanks.

You should look for employees who have these qualities. From the first words, it is obvious that they are in the work. Immediately check whether they clearly formulate thoughts, know how to listen, whether they can express what they really feel. Are they nervous and able to show strong character traits when asked who they see themselves as in a few years? There is a t ore ethic personality. They are usually looking for someone who is “thirsty” for learning. This is a significant factor that determines your readiness for office life. In 30 minutes, employers can determine if they need such an employee with an accuracy of 99%.

Recent hiring statistics show us interesting things: when you want to try yourself in a new field and do not have the experience, start from the bottom. Agree on the lowest salary to be able to see if it’s really yours. Approve the challenges. Learn more about the internal atmosphere of the company and bring something new. Don’t be afraid to ask primitive things like “Why do this?” You have a desire, so you will quickly gain professional skills.
