"Hire for attitude and train for skills"?

Depends highly on the industry.\n\nIf you are talking sales - attitude is probably 90% of it, training is easy. If you are talking computer programmer, skills are 90%, attitude is the rest.\n\nWithout more information, it is a hard call.

There is no "right" answer.  Talk about what you can bring to the company.  What are your good qualities?  What did you learn in school that you can apply to the job?  \n\nGeneric examples:  Work hard, get along with people, willing to learn, willing to teach, knowlege of the industry, etc

You could do it on the topic of induction- Basically how people are dealt with when they start a new job. Perhaps base it on a job you've had and show the strengths and weaknesses. Were you given a welcome pack, introduced to your workers, shown how to do your job, given a contract etc, shown where the fire exits were etc?. How could it have been improved.? Or perhaps ask some workers in your college and see what they feel would have improved their induction to their job.\n\nThis link shows an example of  this aspect of human resources. \n\nhttp://www.human-resource-solutions.co.uk/Areas%20of%20Interest/Induction.htm

You're only spell can be changing your attitude. If your employer is egotistical, then buy into it. Tell him ow wonderful he is (not directly), but with statement like, "What a great idea!" or "You're so smart", or "I wish I'd thought of that". If he wants things done his way - even if it's wrong - do it his way, but show him what you think is the right way, too, as though it is his idea. Everyone loves an employee who makes him/her look good. Unfortunately there are a lot of bosses who let their positions go to their head and usually they will self destruct over time on their own. The only thing you can do is laugh internally at his idiocy and become the best you can be. I've learned a lot more from bosses I couldn't stand than the ones that I loved. Good luck!

I work in Human Resources for a major company around the Chicago area.\n\nNew-hire orientation introduces you to the company you recently got hired on with. They usually show you where to park, issue you a badge/uniform, let you know about company benefits, tell you your work schedule, and show you around.\n\nI cannot give you time limit on new-hire orientation (the program I conduct for my company lasts around 6 hours). It all depends on how much you will need to know about the company.

Look in the Help Wanted ads in your newspaper :)\n\nUnfortunately, Yahoo! Answers isn't a "help wanted" or "for hire" bulletin board.  This particular section is for asking questions ABOUT employment, not asking FOR employment. You might have better luck if you try Yahoo! Groups http://groups.yahoo.com

Start by making a list of "must knows", things they should know when starting (aka competencies). Also include any relevant HR policies (sick days, vacations, ect) and company philosophies and mission statement. Allow time in this plan for return demonstation under supervision any task that they will be performing. Set an appropriate time line in which to complete the training. Once you see these lists on paper, creating the plan will be easy. Good Luck

Wow, as an employer, I can tell you a few of the skill sets I value most.  First, the ability to reason and make decisions that satisfy the customer.  I cannot tell you how many people I hire that have lost our business money because of rudeness, not understanding the client's problem or being unable to communicate an effective solution.\n\nSecond, the ability to negotiate a solution to a problem without becoming snotty, obnoxious, angry, or unaffected.  The best solution to a problem is a solution which doesn't make the client feel "wrong". Having the power, the brain-power, the personality and the ability to give the client other options makes the customer feel like someone cares about their problem.\n\nSo many of the people I see coming out of colleges and universities, simply dismiss the customer as if, "We got your money, too bad you are not happy with the decision you made to purchase our products or services.  I don't want to deal with your whinning because I got paid, your issue isn't of concern to me and further, all of what you thought was ended with the purchase of your product or serivice and I have no responsibility beyond that."\n\nCommunication - whether in writing, verbally or in body language.  When did we ever forget that the money isn't the goal, the service is WHAT gets you the repeat business?  Just because you made the money from the original sale does not mean you forget about making the purchaser happy about the fact they bought it.  80% of my business comes from either repeat customers or referrals from customers who were happy about the way we resolve whatever they were dissatisfied about what they purchased.\n\nYeah, okay, you can have a 4.0 average, I did, for  all of my degrees.  I really believe that it is how you treat people, inside and outside wherever you work that will be valued most.  At least, I can say in my organizations, it has always been.

If you are talking about production of an employee. I think computer skills and proper training and or skills to do the job they were hired to do. Companies assume you have computer skills but the company also forgets to properly train, provide the right tools or find out if the person has the proper skills to do the job.

Know what you are doing.  Walk around, see people doing their jobs and ask for their input on what can be improved.  Exhibit, maintain, and enforce high standards.  Be a friend but not a buddy.
