Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: the ability of

adapting to new environment is more important than excellent knowledge

for job

范文

With more and more people involved in the competitive job hunting market, it becomes quite heated debated in recent years that the ability of adapting to new environment outweighs excellent knowledge for a job. In my opinion, adapting ability to a new working place comes first while a thorough understanding of a job should never be ignored.

I guess no one could deny the significance of knowledge to our career since it offers basic technique when dealing with specific issues. Nowadays dominating corporations like Google, Glencore and even ordinary companies are greatly focused on training new employees, based on the fact that most of them are not qualified for the relative knowledge for the position. According to the latest innovations in college curricula, more and more compulsory lessons, both theoretical and practical, are designed to equip graduates with sufficient knowledge for future jobs so as to satisfy the demand from companies. It seems certain that employees with enough knowledge will have a better chance to be favored by companies.

Admittedly, knowledge in relative fields does help people handle tough situations. However, reliance merely on knowledge appears not a wise choice because a good capability to adapt is of at least the same importance. Due to the noticeable breakthroughs in industry, teamwork becomes increasingly in need because of the common scene today that hundreds of people have to work together for the same project. Everyone has to make adjustments considering the project process and schedule of workmates. No wonder that people unable to make adaptations and find his role in a new environment will get replaced sooner or later.  

Furthermore, the ability to adapt to a new environment is more precious. It seems specious that a person without working knowledge will fail in his/her job. After all, these knowledge can be learned from books, sometimes the Internet more conveniently. On contrary, making oneself accepted, even welcomed, is such an ability that none can acquire easily. It helps people merge into a group, obtain useful knowledge and valuable experience from senior workers, and eventually these employees good at adapting become qualified for the position. It is a clear picture that a greenhand, with wide knowledge but narrow intelligence to communicate with others, will not do a good job in his career.

In a word, I agree that the ability to get oneself adapted to a new environment weighs more than the knowledge of job.
