To edit for next class…

I employed many staff. We work in small company. We need people be more activity. They know what they want to do, and not always push. But actually in small company, but everyone just follow the order. You push one step, they will just step one. It’s very hard to be activity staff. Because in small company, they should handle lots of parts of the job. Not like big company, they just spend one year in one position, just one thing, everyday repeat. So I just think, they need move because of your push, they will never be important person in a company. But usually, most of the people like this. In the market, this kind of person will be 90%. For an HR, how to choose them? For small company, just they can use, that’s enough. But you should take responsibility for them. For big companies, a kind of education, they teach you but not everyone will be senior level. For the basic employee, if they cannot move on, after 3 years, after they’re getting a bit old, they will just be fired. More young people, they graduated and they can instead of you, and do the same job as you, and they are more cheap. For the beginner in the job market, we will just check the degree and they graduate from which school.
