As to this topic, as far as I am concerned, there are 3

21、things to consider.First, I think working experience is very important when selecting applicants. Applicants who have already had the work experience in the relevant fields will learn the new job easier and quicker. And it will also save the company a lot of training fees if the applicant has relate

22、d experience.Second, we must consider the personal qualities of the applicants, such as personality and health. Companies tend to employ people whose character fits a special job. For example, consulting company tends to employ applicant who is analytical and knowledgeable, but advertising agents 1

23、ike their employees to be energetic and creative.Third, I believe language is of great importance when selecting applicants. Nowadays, we do business with people from all over the world. Always we buy goods from Africa, and sell our electronic product to Europe; a foreign language especially English

24、 is needed if the company wants to expand to the world. Applicants who can speak one or more foreign languages will have a better chance to get the job.Sample 2As we all know, the criteria used by HR professionals in screening and selecting applicants normally include such factors as working experie

25、nce, personal qualities and communicative skills.Firstly, we pay a lot of attention to working experience of the applicant. A person with a solid record of related experience is more likely to fit in with a new company. Therefore he or she can be trusted to fulfill the tasks and solve the problems i

26、n a more professional and competent way.In addition to this, we also look at the personal qualities of the applicant. Does he or she has integrity, perseverance or can do spirit? Surely any organization can benefit from the reliability, devotion and enthusiam of its employees.Finally, good communica
