If you were an employer, which kind of worker would you prefer to hire: an inexperienced worker at a lower salary or an experienced worker at a higher salary? Use specific reasons and details to support your answer.
When it comes to the job applicants, employers face the dilemma of choosing an inexperienced worker at a lower salary or an experienced worker at a higher salary. Personally, the inexperienced one is always appealing to me, supposing that I were the employer. Beginning as a nascent employee, I can understand the newcomer and can tell how loyal he will be to the company in the long run. Cruelly, the job applicator is denied for lack of experiences.
Most employers extol the virtues of experienced workers, who command abundant professional knowledge in width and depth. Under the illusion that the experienced are superior to the inexperienced, these employers are forever talking about the proficiency in application of theory into business practice. Nothing can be compared, they maintain, with the importance of quick profit brought by the experienced workers.
This pleasure factors is only part of the story. The employers fail to mention the high cost of the sophisticated employees. Neither do they consider that past does not equal future, namely, technologies and business conditions may fluctuate greatly over time. The experienced worker making a fortune for his previous firm does not necessarily mean that he will do great contributions to the new company. Why seniors suffer the uncertain risks and high costs to hire the experienced one is beyond me.
If you can do without the few benefits of employing an experienced worker, you will find an inexperienced one provide you with the best he can offer. You don’t have to invariably raise the salary to attract him and to worry about his faith. Out of gratitude of being employed, he will devote more and more time and energy to his work when he is touched by the corporate culture.
A sophisticated employee may probably violate the standards of commercial ethics, since he is a master in this field and assumes that no one can find the trick out. However, hiring an inexperienced one does not involve the risk of this sort. Unfamiliar with the business conditions, he does not even conceive of doing anything that may be harmful to the firm. Nor is the green-hand without the ability to win profit for a corporation.
Due to all these merits of inexperienced workers, why these employers obstinately insist to hire experienced ones is a mystery to me.
