After reading this article written by an HR expert I was excited to share it on my blog today. Being a small business major I have frequently worried that if I felt like it I would not be able to get out into the corporate world. The HR director deduced correctly that small business men and women, many of whom only have a small online or home based business, are the perfect employees for corporations to target. The article can be found here.
The author found that small business owners, because of their need to network, were a huge source of contacts which could be used to further any other business. The author also mentioned that the small business owners deal with all of the regular problems that a business deals with so they have experience in these matters. These men and women brought a plethora of useful contacts into the company which enabled them to find new clients, new suppliers, and connected them with a new social group.
These people make excellent employees as they are also trying to improve your business. They tend to look at working in your company as a learning experience so they throw their entire heart and soul into the work they do. They figure if they make some of the missteps that come with taking risks with your money, they will be better situated when they open up their own small business. These risks could end up paying up big for your company as they also understand the value of a reputation. So hire young entrepreneurs for your larger corporations, Corporate America, and it will pay off in the long run.
