Do you evaluate based on educational background? Number of accolades? Do you trust a referral from a friend?

That’s why it’s a safe bet to find the best people for your job.

He worked as a tailor for 24 years, but was forced to give up the career he loved due to his lack of sewing skills. He spent his free time watching bowling on the internet; and he played chutes and ladders and poker almost every week night. He also enjoyed moving pictures and talkies.
