If You are an Employer, Would You Hire Someone That is Not Experienced?

Hi Muelitz, I used to be and Employer a few years ago before I had to give up work and yes I did employ who has no experience at all but we trained the person to do the job and doing so we give them good experience. We gived people a chance so how else would they get exlerience if no one will give them a chance? Tamara

I could give him/her a chance if he/she has passed all the exams that i have given him.

I think I would as well as give him training on the job in the process which would hopefully make him more responsible for his job, honesty and integrity is hard to come by when employing someone these days blessings littleowl

In a heart beat. I believe in giving chances. Most people are trainable and with training, even though they may not experience in the job it should work out. I am looking for a job presently, I want to go outside of my field which is finance, but all the non finance jobs I find are asking for experience only. People are always talking about a career change, how can you change your career when no one gives you a chance because you do not have experience.

In a couple of my previous companies, inexperience was a plus! When we would hire new case managers, one of the concerns in hiring somebody with experience is that they would be harder to train, or already have a system that they are unwilling to stray from. So a perk to hiring someone without experience is that they are more pliable, can be trained more easily. And also, they are more likely to accept a lower salary. Whenever I would interview someone, I would try to see them in terms of their potential, not necessarily experience.

Maybe, the reason is if he or she has the talent or capability to learn easily, that would be good. I just need people who i can trust. That's the most important thing. I want to give everybody the chance to work as long that they are determined to learn and willing to undergo training.

One can gain expeience in a number o ways. The prolem is that eveyone has to start somewhere. I may have expeience in a paying position, but there are a numer o things I have done in my lie time hat would moe han qualify me to do cerain jo. People have prolems hiring me for the jobs for which I am qualified ecause I don' have a pofessional reference to back me up. If I thought that someone had "experience" o do the job, I would hire them. It doesn't necessarily hae o e paid expeience.If I thought that the person had no idea what they were doing, then I would not hire them.

Hi Muelitz, Yea..I will, I know that everyone has to be given the chance to have an experience..LOL! and I have observed also with fresh graduate and with potential, they learn fast as well as very open-minded! So, I will consider that!

Since the job is not having critical responsibility.I would look at the knowledge the person has.His certifications.Then i would put him as a trainee in my company with th basic salary.

yes hy not, but this person will be under observation. if he/she is a fast learner then there wont be any problem. ifhe/she is a slow learner then there is no reason for me to get them or to hire them as regular. some companies as what i know are willing to hire not experienced people for it is more cheap to pay than the experienced ones. that is what i know.

Why not? If the position, as you said, is for a non-executive level with no critical responsibilities, then it is okay. Nowadays, we are looking for people with good attitudes. There are literally hundred of thousands of graduates, qualified in their own fields, many of them experienced - but to find those with good attitudes (pleasant, responsible, proactive, willing to learn) is tough! So experience is secondary - the new recruit can learn, and you can groom him or her for higher positions, if you find them capable.

My philosophy in work is that a person should be hired based on his qualifications not on his experience. a lot of jobseekers are highly qualified and yet could not be taken in by the company because of inexperience. That is unfair, for me. Besides, the employee will eventually learn the job.

I would probably hire that person, I do believe that on the job training is the best. I am a supervisor for the service industry and have hired some very good people who did not have much experience. They have turned out to be some of my best employees. Very dependable people I can count on the get the job done.

of course yes for the sake of those thousands of fresh graduates out there.

that depends upon the knowledge he/she has.,i guess by answering some of my questions and by just reading her/his body language i would know if that person is qualified or not.,i guess, it doesn't matter if a person doesn't have enough experience or don't have any experience at all.,because you could actually trained that person and be a guide to her/him. have a nice day ahead!

I own a small business so I guess that makes me an employer. The only ones working here now are my husband and myself. We are thinking about hiring someone part-time. If we are going to hire someone, we will definitly train them first. A pleasing personality, honesty and responsibility are a big part of this job so yes, I would hire them. More than likely they will lack experience, that's why we are willing to train. :)

that can be possible, as you have mentioned, the position will not be handling a very critical responsibility. with experience, there might be some other staff that will guide him with his new job. (red star 88 @ 1470)

that kind of person your pertaining to has a big chance of acquiring skills that he still don't possess.. after all it is the character of the person that will make him on the top or will let him stay beneath the ground.. so i think there's no harm in hiring someone who has a pleasing personality in a job he don't know, and that's the reason why other company's undergoing training, it's intended for those kind of person..

If I would be an employer, would I hire Someone who does not have any experience in the field of work even without experience. Yes, I would be willing to give them a chance and just give them a training especially the applicants is willing to do the responsibilities of the job......

Yes, if they showed that they were accountable and professional, they would probably be willing to learn and succeed on the job.
