Enthusiasm vs Experience which matters most?

For the last six years I have been working as a sub-editor on newspaper. As well as writing on newspaper my favorite pastime is to play with the words. So one time I decided to get out of my comfort zone, something new that would challenge me. Recently I had been to an organization for Copy writing position in a advertisement agency. Despite having no experience in the advertising world, I made a creative adv presentation and went to interview there. However after looking at me and my presentation the agency manager says maybe you are too new for our projects. So later I ask someone from one of my friend from another company who had years of experiences (on paper) in similar field an around 20+ years in age to visit the organization and delivered a similar presentation . And guess what happened... It really fascinate me and I started to experiment with different advertising agency. And the outcome was all of the agency were attracted toward experience. I found similar situation during interview too. Where the HR manager try to judge candidate based on experience rather than enthusiasm or you can say excellence. So in the battle of experience vs enthusiasm  whome would you consider? And as a HR manager how would judge the right candidate you're looking for during interview...? Yes, I agree that the experience is very much needed in any field. Despite this, newcomers should be given opportunities, especially those who have the power to do something new and exciting for the job. Sometimes the experience is only on paper.

Real relative , who helps in a bad time                                                                         By : Aparna Das Date : 21.3.2018           Last year in the middle of April, one day I went to Panchayat in my area for a trade license. It was very hot day. From home to Panchayat 20 minutes walking distance, so I walked there with my close friend umbrella. When I reached Panchayat there was no one present, except 2-1  temporary staff.   I asked one person and got to know that someone had died on that day, so everyone went there. After hearing it, my mind became a little worse. As soon as for return home, I was going straight down the stairs, at that time I got pee . I was feeling very embarrassed and immediately began to sweat. Suddenly I saw an elderly gentleman in a tailor in front of the Panchayet. Seeing the hanging boards in front of the tailor and the shave of the aged man, I   realized that he is a Muslim . Gradually I went forward to the tailors, and I found

Month of Valentine's By : Aparna Das                                                      Date : 31.1.2018 Love is in the air  . Me, my family, my friends and all across the globe, have started planning what will be doing on the big day as Valentine’s Day. Here my question is w hy every year, on a particular day in the month of February, we all are sudden start feeling romantic! Especially the ones, why not everyone and everything?. Added that, I have another thing on my mind, Valentine’s day should be renamed as ‘Global Bravery Day for Singles’, looking at the amount of Singles trying to make this day a tad bit ‘normal’ by making it romantic. Lovey-dovey, hearts, roses, chocolates, selfie,  red red everywhere. And the middle of it single people have a lot of worry in this day’s! They pray to god, when the day would passed! To the folks, I would suggest 1 st  April as the new Valentine’s Day from this year . At least in that case, if the girl or boy rejects som
