Looking at some young candidate, I am less interested in
his [i]current[/i] knowledge and skills, and more interested in

1) how fast he can learn new knowledge and skills
2) character

If someone doesn't have a lot of experience, but is sharp as
a tack and has mountains of integrity and a work ethic, he's
our guy.

If someone has buckets of experience but can't learn new
stuff and is a sleazeball, I don't want him in the building.

I guess it depends if you're looking at short term or long
term.
