Albert,

Here's my expierience hiring people.

If I hire someone who knows the job and needs no training it sometimes comes with an attitude that I should leave them alone and let them do thier job.

This is not always a good solution because it gets in the way of my business growing.

If I hire someone with growing skills for the position they usually listen to what I want and work hard to prove they can do the job. Even if they are challenged on some aspects of the job.

If I hire someone with no expierience and try to teach them then they always seem to have a crutch under them and they bug the shit out of me asking questions all day even after they have been employed 6 months.

But all in all it mainly goes to the personality of the person. I did hire someone one time that wanted to learn and they became the best employee I had.

Every perspective employee should have a good interview and you should be able to pick from the interview process who's going to fit in right with what your looking for.

Never dismiss anyone until all interviews are over. The least knowledgable can become your diamond in the rough while the most knowledgable will cost you more and come with an attitude that will hinder your business.
