"Hiring employees is something that all managers and supervisors have to do. My name is Gloria Campbell and I'm with Advantage Training Systems in St. Petersburg, Florida. And there are definitely some things that you can do to make sure you get the right employee. The first thing you want to do is to make sure that you are clear on the duties and responsibilities of that employee. If you don't have a job description, search the internet, find one, find something that will work for you and create a job description. One of the biggest problems you have when you go with your gut and you simply hire someone because you like them, you may found out after you've hired them that they don't have the skills that you need. Maybe they need to be able to be a good organizer, maybe they need to be able to take direction, maybe they need to be able to talk to customers and that's really not their bend. So the job description starts the whole process. Once you've identified what it is you want, then it's very easy to hire to that particular job duties and responsibilities. Don't be swayed by someone who comes in and they're flashy. If they don't have what you're looking for, go to the next person. There are great employees out there, all of them looking for your job. My name's Gloria Campbell and I'm with Advantage Training Systems in St. Petersburg, Florida. Hiring employees is an opportunity. Use it."
