managemental skill or technical specialty?

gdhdannyUID: 125843

Suppose you are the manager of the human resource department, whether you prefer to hire one who has research potential but limited experiences on managing people or another one with superfluous social experiences but narrow horizon on modern technology?

Or this question could be put in this way, do you think it's much easier to learn technological stuff with a managemental background or to master skills on management with technical basis would be a smoother way?

I was kind of thinking about this issue over a long time and cannot possibly find an answer to it. Most people I inquired would prefer an case by case explanation, but that is not satisfactory.

Hey, friend, it seems that you do not appreciate the case-by-case attitude so much at least in this human resource choice issue. However, it might be a little bit difficult for anyone to give a definite answer to your question. Whatever, eithor a strong theorical background or a rich social working exprience could add to the chance of being hired to some degree. If the employer has really only to choose one, it all depends.

Yeah, I know what you mean. But it seems that most of the interviews held by the human resource department would prefer the managemental background students. I asked one of my foreign friends who is some kind of head teacher in the States, she even told me that on the contrary to technical knowledge, the management skills could only be aquired through personal experience rather than literal materials. Therefore to employ such kind of students who have woking experiences in the student union would be a wiser choice for the company in the further development.

en, maybe you are right. In fact, with the more and more severe competition in the job market, all students are endeavoring to make themselves appear more gifted and well-prepared. Among all those basic talents, the ability to contact with all kinds of people might be one of the most important factor which might appeal to the future manager.

I prefer taking  a part-time job outside school ! I think it's more useful than working in Student Union !How do you think?

Surely it's an case by case explanation,But since you have been  supposed that I'm the manager of the human resource department,I'd like to chose the one who has research potential .
Only two reasons:
1;If I can climb up to be the manager of the human resource department,I must been  gifted the superfluous social experiences .So the talent of the latter one cann't be used sufficiently.It's a kind of  waste,the waste of talent.
2;the former one is more probably to help me to climb to the higher position.Because what I'm wanted is what he has owned.Nothing could be more perfect than hiring a clever but loyal staffer.

Universities are responsible for both the society and individuals, the job-oriented goal is a win-win way for both!
On the contrary,an enterprise would only consider its own interests,there is a balance between the specific shortsighted job and further exploitation of the individual potential,which could  meet the need of the enterprise to the largest extent.
As for me ,I prefer to employ those with technical backgrounds,because they are more easily to master the skills needed in  higer position

because they are more easily to master the skills needed in higer position

We should discuss the definition of skills needed in higher position, because someone told me that managemental skills could be only aquired through realistic personal experience which renders it much more difficult to master compared with technical skills.
