SERVICEMAN'S LOG Hiring a new technician is never easy

摘要

In my opinion, service people have a more difficult task when it comes to hiring people than most other employers. If all you need is a bubbly receptionist to meet and greet and cheerily answer the phone, then there are gazillions of suitable candidates. However, if you need someone with the technical abilities of a Mission Impossible team, the sales acumen of an East-End market stall holder, the phone manner of a drive-time radio announcer and the charm of a Latin film star, the pickings are mighty thin.One of the big problems with advertising for a computer technician is the fact that every male in the country with their own computer/Xbox/PlayStation fancies himself as an expert, as long as he could just get a start in the industry. This sees me dealing with recruiting problems that, for example, hospitals advertising for new brain surgeons wouldn't have.
