While recruiting a new employee, the employer should pay more attention to their personal qualities, rather than qualification and experience, to what extent do you agree or disagree? Give your opinion with example.

#employee #employer #attention #qualities #qualification
Appointing a new employee in an organisation can often be a challenging task. Not only do we have to make sure that the recruit is adept in his field, but we
also
 have to take care of his behavioural issues. While the recruiter evaluates a variety of aspects like qualification,
experience
 and
work
 ethic, many argue that
personality
 should be given more emphasis than technical expertise.
However
, I believe that
this
 does not always hold true. Personal qualities play an important role in deciding whether the
candidate
 is fit for the job or not. The way the individual reacts to certain situations shows his management style and
work
 ethic. If an individual reacts aggressively to minor issues, it can be deduced that he is temperamental and does not handle pressure well.
Moreover
, if the
person
 has a bossy attitude and superiority complex, not only would
this
 hamper the efficiency of the company but would
also
 make it difficult for people around him to
work
.
For example
, screaming and humiliating subordinates for non-completion of
work
 without understanding the reasons can majorly
demotivate
 other employees leading to dissatisfaction.
This
 may prove to be a threat to the organisation and
thus
, recruitment of
such
 candidates is not ideal. Be that as it may, technical aspects like
experience
 and qualification are equally important and decide how well the
person
 will perform in his position. Completion of a degree or other qualification sets a standard to the company's requirement and ensures that the
candidate
 has basic and minimum knowledge about the technicalities.
In addition
,
experience
 justifies the
person
's ability to apply his theoretical knowledge.
Furthermore
, skills define his quality of
work
, all of which helps the organisation to be more efficient and effective and earn a larger margin of profit.
For example
, a
candidate
 A with 10 years of
experience
 will always be better than another
candidate
 B with 5 years of
experience
 as A will be more familiar with practical
work
 situations and how to deal with them.
Therefore
, these aspects majorly affect the accomplishment of the company's goals. In conclusion,
although
 some argue that
personality
 traits are a more important criterion than
experience
, I strongly believe that both these factors have equal weighting as it is clear that a highly experienced individual with a problematic
personality
 does the same amount of harm as a zero experienced
person
 with an ideal
personality
.

Include an introduction and conclusion

A conclusion is essential for IELTS writing task 2. It is more important than most people realise. You will be penalised for missing a conclusion in your IELTS essay.

The easiest paragraph to write in an essay is the conclusion paragraph. This is because the paragraph mostly contains information that has already been presented in the essay – it is just the repetition of some information written in the introduction paragraph and supporting paragraphs.

The conclusion paragraph only has 3 sentences:

  • Summary
  • Restatement of thesis
  • Prediction or recommendation

Example:

To summarize, a robotic teacher does not have the necessary disciple to properly give instructions to students and actually works to retard the ability of a student to comprehend new lessons. Therefore, it is clear that the idea of running a classroom completely by a machine cannot be supported. After thorough analysis on this subject, it is predicted that the adverse effects of the debate over technology-driven teaching will always be greater than the positive effects, and because of this, classroom teachers will never be substituted for technology.

Start your conclusion with a linking phrase. Here are some examples:

  • In conclusion
  • To conclude
  • To summarize
  • Finally
  • In a nutshell
  • In general
