"Expertise vs. Experience" Szilvia Olah, argues that experience is often mistakenly prioritized over expertise, leading to a false sense of competence in the workplace. The author contends that simply performing a job for a long time doesn't guarantee proficiency and can even hinder adaptability to change. Recruiters frequently fall into the trap of prioritizing years of experience rather than requiring demonstrated expertise. The author also criticizes the practice of allowing long-tenured, potentially outdated employees to train new hires. Ultimately, the piece advocates for valuing knowledge, openness to change, and varied experiences over mere longevity in a role or company.
