Avery does offer great qualities, such as high performance, but a major disadvantage to selecting Avery is the lack of consistency. With having to fill an essential opening in a company, I would need someone to be there consistently and be there for others to ask questions or to help others. Avery being able to have a high performance inconsistently will not build a solid foundation for the company and other employees. Choosing Jamie will provide consistency. Though Jamie does not go above and beyond, they consistently offer pretty good results. This can assist the company to have a person in an essential position with consistency to offer help and support for all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A job that would be better suited to hire someone like Avery than Jamie is a job that is perhaps jobs that are more challenging and has a greater reward at the end, like sales. A job like this can better suit Avery because she is a high performer, but needs that push for consistency. A job that challenges, has risk, and offers something rewarding at the end can allow Avery to display her high performance. This job would make Avery more valuable than Jamie because Avery can perform above and beyond; a high-stakes job needs one who does more than the bare minimum. Jamie\u2019s \u201cpretty good performance\u201d will not suffice in a challenging, time-critical job.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A job that would better suit Jamie is a job that has a routine and stability, like a manager who oversees daily operations. This would suit Jamie because it offers consistency. Jamie will know how to perform their day-to-day job and be able to perform \u201cpretty good\u201d without having to push themselves to the limit every day. While there may be challenges, Jamie can learn the job inside and out with their consistency and good performance. Jamie would be more valuable to this job because it requires and needs consistency of good performance. Without the consistency of good performance of Jamie, operations can fall apart and get out of hand, overall disrupting business operations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If I were in the shoes of the business owner and had to choose which person I would hire, I would choose Jamie.
