Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

Training someone to do a job is an important task. It requires a good education， work experience， and skilled job performance. Of these three requirements， I believe it is most important that a potential job trainer be judged on the quality of his or her previous work.

A person may be well educated， but not able to perform a job proficiently. A doctor may know how to treat childhood diseases， but not be able to train medical students to perform surgery. An accountant may be able to balance a company’s accounts， but not be able to help the company’s executives invest their money.

A person may have a lot of work experience， but not be able to do the job well. Time is not the best measure of quality. A mother may spend 17-years raising her children， but not be able to train young mothers to care for their infants. A typist may have typed ten-years worth of letters， but may not type over 30 words a minute.

A person who does a job well is the one you want to be a trainer. I want to learn to fly a plane from a pilot who has faced a lot of mechanical problems in flight and never had an accident. I want to learn how to make money from a billionaire not form a salaried investment broker.

As in all things， it is quality that we look for， not general knowledge or time spent in an occupation. I want others to learn from the best， so they can be the best， too.

Business should hire employees for their entire lives. Do you agree or disagree？ Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

In some business cultures， it is the practice to hire workers when they are young and employ them until they retire. In other business cultures companies hire people to do a job and then fire them when they are not needed. To me， the important considerations in today’s economy is job performance： speed and change. Loyalty is not a consideration.

Today there is a lot of competition and we need to hire workers who can perform a task well. We need to find skilled workers who can do a job without a lot of training. We need to match the job to the worker， and， if the job changes， we change the worker.

Because of this increased competition， we need to be able to produce our goods or services quickly. We need young people who are willing to put in long hours. We need young people who are aggressive and will push themselves to do their job faster.

In order to compete， we have to be innovative. By changing our workforce frequently， we can bring in new ideas. We must constantly be looking for new ways to do new things. We need fresh workers with fresh points of view.

Although a company’s loyalty to a worker and a workers loyalty to a company is a noble idea， it is not practical today. Skilled workers do not want to be tied down to one company; they want the flexibility to improve their opportunities. Change makes the economy powerful.
