ompany. When I turned 18 years old, my employers told me I had to get my class E drivers license. Now this might not sound like a big deal but it was because if I did not get it within five days of my 18th birthday I could not come back to work. The only way to get to work again was to pass the test and bring a verified copy. This is a skill I had to obtain to work this job. Other such skills required of me was that I had to know how to pull trailers behind trucks, work on and with heavy machinery such as bucket lifts, tractors, lawn mowers, and other such types of equipment. A knowledge base should not only contain the skills needed to do the job but also some common sense. I say this meaning problem solving skills. For example if an engine is not running this is how I would go about trying to make it run, my problem solving method. Remembering what I had been told about engines needing three basic things,(fuel, oxygen, and fire) first I would check the gas, this sounds very elementary, but it is amazing how many people dont look at this. If this turns out not to be the problem, next I would check the oil. Another of many simple things that people tend to over look. The third thing to check would probably be the spark plug. Now granted these things are very simple but it is a good way of showing problem solving methods.The fact that a person has a good sense of what they are doing, and that they can show up on time to do it, leads one to believe that the person is willing to do the job. The only question left is, is the person willing to do the job right? This is a question that needs to be asked. Two people need to ask this question, the employer and the applicant of the job. If this question can be answered with a "yes" from both parties then the person is ready for the job. Wanting to do the job right should consists of a self checklist. This checklist should involve productive activities and a list of activities ...
