Training is everything. Mentoring is powerful. Potential is priceless.

Sometimes the right attitude and mindset can turn an inexperienced individual into an exceptional employee who surpasses all expectations. Experience is valuable and there is no denying that but, what sets someone apart is their drive, their motivation, their willingness to learn, and their attitude towards facing any challenge. Taking a chance on someone is not only investing in their skills but also investing in their potential. We need to look beyond a resume that may not be as impressive as we want it to be, and look deeper into the potential waiting to be discovered. Sometimes the individual with the least experience makes the greatest impact. #BelieveInPeople #UnlockPotential #BreakTheNorms #TakeAChance

That includes all entry level jobs especially for the recent graduates. 

Authentic storytelling can help make that important connection with potential recruits. It's a key part of any successful workforce recruitment effort! See more from the MARTA Heroes recruitment series here: https://lnkd.in/dfm9wCB4

I’ve hired people with little to know experience, but upon upon getting to know them one thing was VERY clear - who they were as a person was JUST as big an asset as what’s on paper. Maybe more.

Managers who not invest in people with the right soft skills but no experience, are losing the chance to get wonderful employees, with fresh perspectives and innovative ideas. Embracing talent regardless of experience can lead to diverse skill sets, enhanced collaboration, and ultimately, long-term success for the organization.   While the desire for candidates who can hit the ground running is prevalent, overlooking those without experience may be a missed opportunity , we need to be aware that a job can be learned, of course, providing  proper training, mentorship, and support; and this is “job” that certain managers do not want to execute.   A true leader take the chance knowing that can cultivate a pipeline of talent that not only meets immediate needs but also grows and evolves with the company, ultimately driving innovation and sustainability.   I hire colleagues with no experience, what about you? 

The optimal blend lies in aligning motivation with culture.
