Travelers are a better option for you to hire rather if you want an extraordinary employee to hire. (Bridging to the meat of the content) It might sound irrational, you might doubt about it, why would travelers who spend more time on the street make a better employee than the one who has packed experiences and spend more time in the cubicle. Here you will find reasons why travelers more qualified for you, all managers to hire. (meat of the content) 1.Travelers willing to learn new things Have to face various culture as they visit various countries, usually, they learn about it first so they could fit into the place they're about to visit. Sometimes they have to self-taught and do research by themselves, like histories behind certain places, how a special food in this country cooked. Even if they were offered a task that they don't have any idea at all how to do it later at the office, travelers will surely challenge it and figure it out by themselves and they're not afraid to ask if they don't know about it. Because they are used to it, fast learner and always willing to take initiative, both are qualities that all managers want to have in their company. 2. Travelers can work calmly under pressure Travelers often facing problems that you couldn't even imagine. Having their things stolen, facing a sudden natural disaster, or virus threat overseas are kind of risks they usually face. Compared to usual problems at the office such as losing your files at the computer or a very demanding boss, it's a piece of cake for them. They'll approach every problem at the office without panic and remain calm and solution-focused in it. 3. Travelers are more confident Travelers-- especially who traveled by themselves are very confident otherwise they won't survive traveling alone. They've been challenged to face every situation and always feel there is nothing that they can't-do. They present themselves well and comfortable to every situation given to them. 4. Travellers think out of the box Accustomed to being thrown into any kind of situations; where ordinary strategies no longer applied, travelers are creative at solving a problem. All of their experiences with unexpected situations (no accommodation available, swindler, lost in the street, etc), they have to think fast and seeing every problem with a different perspective as well as solving it in a way that no one could even imagine. 5. Travelers are good at negotiating Involved with various people with few different backgrounds when they traveling, has made them into good negotiators. Travelers have learned to find common ground with others and negotiate things effectively regardless their ethnicity, race, and age. 6. Travelers are discipline and good at handling budget As they travel, travelers have to follow schedule they've made, saved up their fund so they could survive. They know how to stay on track and not losing their focus. So no worries about them being too carefree, they are good at plan-making. 7. Travelers aren't afraid of change Travelers are easily adapting themselves to every situation and circumstance. They embrace changes mostly out of necessity. They will find a way to fit into a culture, a place they've never been before, and all sort of things that require them to be a quick learner and adaptive. Travelers might don't have packed experiences in their resumes but they have qualities that set them apart from other applicants. They've learned more in few weeks or month traveling than many want to learn in their life and applying it to good use later when they're hired. (bridging to closing) The idea of hiring people with hippie pants might sound risky, but it's really worth it if they are given certain fields that suits them well. With their carefree mind, a job that has the same routine might bore them. So challenged them with projects, give them space to develop the ideas, and of course, don't prevent them to take their leave for traveling.
