If I had to choose between hiring Avery or Jamie, I think I would choose Jamie. I would rather have someone that is consistent and can be counted on rather than someone who is below average most of the time that has an occasional burst of brilliance. The key for me choosing Jamie over Avery is consistency. Someone who is reliable, does a steady amount of good work, and is predictable would be easier to account for. Their work output would be predictable making the job as a manager easier. Also, you would know Jamie’s weakness which is when the stress gets turned up, Jamie may not perform as well. You could manage this situation by pulling in other teammates to help compensate. Avery seems to be too much of a wildcard. Avery may be fantastic every now and then. However, the inconsistency would be hard to manage and account for. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hiring someone like Avery may be a better choice in a job where there is already a solid team. If the team Avery is joining is very consistent and solid, Avery will most likely get by with a below average performance. Then, when Avery is at his best and thriving, the team will really accomplish a lot. More specifically, I think of a job along the lines of product development. Having someone who has the ability to come up with a really great idea occasionally or perform when the pressure is high, would be valuable on a product development team. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hiring someone like Jamie would be better in a job where consistency is needed. Jamie would most likely bring a lot of stability to a team due to the solid, consistent performance. If the job is going to have a lot of high stress moments, it is probably not a good fit for Jamie though. A specific job example might be in accounting or finance. I imagine consistency and solid performance is very important in that job. I am not too familiar with the job to know how many high-stress moments it has, but I think it may be a good fit. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
