Employers should focus on personality rather than qualifications and experience when choosing someone to work. To what extend do you agree or disagree with this statement?

When employers choose someone to work with, it is often argued that

personality

is more important than qualifications and experience.

However

, I don’t agree with

this

statement because

personality

doesn’t have anything to do with how well one performs on the

job

.

In contrast

, skill and years of experience would determine who’s the better

candidate

for the work.

Personality

depicts the characteristics of a person. The reason why employers focus on certain personalities as workmates is probably because employers believe

personality

plays a vital role in the dynamic of a team.

However

, in terms of finishing a project, it’s the expertise

that is

needed not characteristics. In

this

case,

personality

is complimentary rather than mandatory. Comparing a company’s

job

requirements between the qualifications and experiences of a

candidate

would be the objective tool to assess how well a

candidate

fits the criteria.

Job

requirements are a list of qualifications, experiences, and personal attributes that a

candidate

must have to be considered for the

job

position.

Furthermore

, having a workmate who doesn’t have the essential skills to do the given task might affect the workflow of a team.

In contrast

, a workmate who is qualified and has years of experience would create additional value for the team. In conclusion, I don’t agree with employees who prefer to choose workmates based on

personality

compared to qualification and years of expertise, because it would do more harm than good. In my opinion, selecting a

candidate

based on

personality

would potentially eliminate skilled candidates who might perform better.
