From the mind of critic: “If employers always want to hire somebody with experience, but a potential employee can’t get experience because nobody will hire them, how do we fix the problem? Do employees have to wait for that one boss to give them a chance, based on their character, drive and willingness to learn? Do employers have to gamble on somebody, based on their character, drive and willingness to learn? Is life one big catch 22, where we can’t win for losing, and the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence? Life is full of givers and takers, to be successful we need to find ourselves somewhere in the middle. Paying it forward means doing for somebody else, when they’ve done for us. If anybody has taken a chance on us when they didn’t have to, we must be willing to take a chance on somebody else. This concept could be decribed a million ways, but most succinctly, it means do unto others, as you have would them do unto you. Whether we’re paycheck writers or paycheck earners, people will prove themselves if given the chance. We just have to ask ourselves, if we don’t give anybody a chance, why would we expect them to take a chance on us? If experience is earned, we should let people earn, but only if they have strong character, drive and a willingness to learn.” 🙂
