Should companies hire only individuals who have the qualifications of the position they are hiring for? In my honest opinion, the answer is no. This even applies to the entry level positions. What are the requirements? 2 to 4 years of experience! For entry level? I myself went from my first Tech jobs as a tier 3 helpdesk technician to a senior windows server admin in under 6 years with much less experience in all areas. I have gone into every job I have ever had completely blind of what to do. To top that off, how many interviews did I have to go through? I only interviewed for 2 jobs that I have ever had and that was my 1st and 3rd IT Job. What happens when you take a chance on someone and hire them? They learn the job and gain the experience. We do not always need to be trained. Sometimes, people learn differently. In my own case, I learn the job and what to do by doing the job daily. These hiring practices of denying people just because they do not have what you want needs to end. Give us all a chance and you will see that you did not make a mistake!
