I Was Unqualified and Clueless, and Got Hired Anyway
""We've all been told to hire based on experience—but what if that's exactly what's holding your team back? Ultimately, creativity in hiring can give you a competitive advantage.""
""I had no business doing that job in the first place. I was not qualified to do the job, much less get hired. But what I did have was gumption and the willingness to learn.""
Hiring practices traditionally focus on experience, but exploring candidates from different industries may unlock hidden potential. Candidates with a diverse background can infuse fresh perspectives and creativity into teams. A willingness to learn and a positive attitude are key attributes that can outweigh lack of experience in specific tasks. Hiring on attitude rather than solely qualifications can lead to a more innovative and adaptable workforce, giving companies a competitive edge in their industries.
