Business Sense 101 [Friday]
It was back to the Danger Shop for class today. Hatter was at the front, as usual, looking relaxed. Once everyone had filed in, he started.
"Today, you're going to get to play boss!" he said excitedly. "Now, don't let all that power go to your head or anything. It's only temporary. Today, you're going to hire staff! When you start a business, you might be able to scrap by with one or two employees besides yourself but you'll need to grow eventually. And you'll need to be smart about hiring too. At first, you'll want to go with someone who's probably inexperienced as you'll be able to pay them less then you would someone with a lot of experience. You can move up to those types of employees."
He got the simulation started. It was a simple office environment where the students would get to chat with potential employees.
"But, you also want to be careful about hiring less experienced people because they might be a bad fit for business. They might be lazy or have criminal records or a plethora of other things. It's up to you to try and discern these things during their interview. That's what you'll be doing today. You'll be talking to prospective employees from all walks of life. You have to hire at least one of them and hope for the best! Get to work!"
And then he set the students off to their task.
