Guidance of Experience

 a candidate with zero experience.


Here's why...

They arrived 5 min early for their morning interview (respect), pronounced my name correctly (major kudos), had a genuine smile and dressed sharp.

During the interview they smiled, made eye contact, and were honest about having zero experience (I value honesty).

They asked me questions, they wanted to learn, they showed up!

To all the hiring decision makers out there, don't disqualify candidates because they don't have "experience."

They can develop skills and experience with your guidance.

More "experience" does not guarantee a harder work ethic or a better fit.

Sometimes the candidate with little to no experience- who is grateful just for the opportunity-is the better fit because they are humble and hungry to learn.

All they need is someone like you to give them a chance to prove themselves, and to help them grow, regardless of their lack of experience.

Be the person that gives someone the chance they've been waiting for.

Be a leader that creates leaders.
