Obviously you have to demonstrate that experience and ability somehow, but it doesn't necessarily have to be a As an employer, I will always favour qualifications over experience. I found in my early days that I was discriminated against for roles I applied for based on lack of experience, despite my qualifications. In my experience, those with more experience tend to become fatigued and cut corners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my experience, those with more experience tend to become fatigued and cut corners. Ironically, I am an employer and I will 100% take experience over qualifications. Obviously a qualification is a good start and great to have, but if I had two candidates where one had a qualification and little experience and the other had no qualification and lots of demonstrable experience I would err towards the person with the experience for sure (track record will always come into it though). 2 Sheffield Forum | The Sheffield Guide | The Sheffield Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mkapaka Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 2 hours ago, Irene Swaine said: If I was the Director of a brand such as Hungry Horse, Greene King or indeed W*th*rsp**n, I'd definitely be looking at one of the units on The Moor. The restaurants nearby are places such as Furness, not somewhere you can get hearty pub food. The Frog & Parrot is not in the city centre and The Museum is a considerable walk away. The Moor is a stage for businesses to present themselves. The footfall outside the market is tremendous. I can envisage plenty of passing trade for a pub, especially with builders etc that hang around The Moor and wouldn't feel comfortable sitting in Furnace in their work wear! I agree - I think it would be a good thing for the moor aswell. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, and I said, several years, with a full stop at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
