what makes a good worker?
« on: June 21, 2013, 11:47:03 pm »
Do you look for a younger person or a older person?
I will be making sure they dont have a criminal record.
Qualifications isnt a problem.
Need to be approachable and friendly.good customer service etc.
What other skills do you look for?

I don't think a criminal record is relevant to whether they are a good worker or not.

Itis if you need workers to work on contracts requiring crb checks.

I don't think there is any way of knowing until you have employed
them for a time.
I know some real workhorses who don't sell themselves well at interviews
and other lazy sods who get the job every time.

Good punctuation and grammar, makes the difference between helping your uncle Jack, off a horse & helping your uncle, jack off a horse. ;D

Sorry but I think your wrong here if someone is confident enough to canvass then why haven't they
started out on their own.
Answer they couldn't be bothered to get of their backside and do the manual work.
If your looking someone to do a hard days graft then hire someone to do this.
If you want a sales person then the same goes.
I know a lot of hard reliable workers who any company would be glad to employ but they
wouldn't door knock if their lives depended on it.
Also know guys who could sell snow to the Eskimos but manual work no way.

10 things that make a good worker:

1 Comes into work on time every day.
2 Doesn't take days off.
3 Doesn't get 'ill'.
4 Doesn't get mondayitis
5 Comes into work everyday.
6 Doesn't take days off
7 Is not a skiver
8 Understands that you need him in EVERY DAY
9 Never misses a day.
10 Comes into work EVERY DAY.

Any issue you have with an employee (attitude, speed of work,  customer relations etc) can be solved provided they come into work EVERY DAY.

It's window cleaning, you can teach any one to do it, provided they come into work EVERY DAY.

Tuesdayitis does not exist. Now you are being silly.
