Skills Vs Experience In Industry

                                            

This is to share my opinion on skills and experience and not to pinpoint someone. How the people develop a skill? and how the people gain the experience?  Will the skills and experience developed parallel? Definitely not always. The skills have nothing to do with the experience. A skill is what and how we perform like time taken to learn and the approach we do, etc. But the experience is just a certificate shown to others about the work he/she has done for the “x” years. The “x” year of experience of an individual doesn't mean that he/she had developed skills.

 Some have developed their skills like “v” model. Category 1: V-model represents parallel growth in both sides. Category 2:  Some may not develop their skills, but have gained the experience. Here experience speaks more than the skills. Category 3: To someone the skills they developed seem to be differing from the experience. They might have learnt a lot in very short time. Here the skills speak more than the experience. Here they show the experience has nothing to do with the skills.

So among the three mentioned above which could be the better options? So when an employee looking for the change in work, here the experience plays a major role. I have seen some companies which give more preference to the year of experience rather than the skills. Here the skilled professional with less years of experience not able to grab all the opportunities likes the professional who have more years of experience and lack in skills. Skills of an individual have to be judge from the year of experience the individual gained. Similarly the experience of an individual should be judged from the skills developed in that time. Judge the people based on their skills not just by the experience letter.

It’s good to test an individual skill by the means of work done every time and also the priority should be given high to such professional. This makes other category professional to change themselves and follow any of the other two categories.  When the preference is given more for skills in work environment then I would say the rate of fake experience will be reduced. The fake experience plays a major role nowadays. This is one of the reasons for the occurrence of such happenings. So I want to say judge the people from the skills not just by the experience letter.

The one which we hate becomes a challenge and the one which we love becomes a passion.
