After you spend years working on your education, entering a job market can be daunting, as it may not be what you expect. You’ll start noticing that many of your dream employers require at least a few years of relevant working experience, which you probably don’t have. Even if you manage to get an interview, employers will often question whether it’s worth it to teach you and help you build your skills, or if they should just go with someone more experienced. What makes it even worse, many young adults are often perceived as lazy, irresponsible, and lacking work ethics.

However, some employers are going against these stereotypes by hiring young people despite their lack of experience and are happy with their choice. One of those employers is marketing consultant Shaneé Moret, who recently shared an explanation of why her company decided to hire a Gen-Z candidate.

While a lot of people praised her for not being reluctant to employ people without work experience, others pointed out that a candidate’s age should never be a factor in the hiring process.

Whether or not to hire someone without experience also depends on the situation. Do you need an expert to solve a problem quickly on contract? Or do you have time to train someone with good character and work ethics? I admire bosses who try to hire someone who can play nice with others. A colleague rejected a candidate who had the experience, but was unlikely to get along with his staff. A former boss of mine hired pretty much for talent-- some of my colleagues were very talented, but unreliable. That drove away some other people who were also talented, but fed up with divas.

Did you read the post? She was hired for an entry level job and was happy to do the work required to gain expertise. That's what anyone deserves. My husband was given the same change... 31 years ago, and is now considered one of the best in his field and has the respect of colleagues around the world. ...///... He'd never be where he is now unless he'd had that chance.

i actually had a boss tell me one time that they preferred to hire someone with little to no experience as opposed to someone who'd been in the same business for 20+ years because, as he put it, the inexperienced person is ready to learn how to do things your way whereas a seasoned applicant may fight you because "that's not how we did it when I worked for (insert name of company)."

I get so tired of hearing that last line through the years. I used to say, then why aren't you still at that company?

No. They hired an attentive and prepared candidate. Nothing to do with generations. And it was probably for an entry position. You know. The kind where no experience is totally in the line of expectation. Aka. You simply did your job. Hossanah.
