You need skills first to get employed, then you ll gain more experience and get promoted or leave to get a better job.

But the most important thing in Egypt is Wasta as Hasafer said or you won't get either.

Are you serious? Do you think a dentist has any business calling himself a Journeyman Carpenter?

Skills and experience are pretty much the same thing. When composing your resume make sure you only include the skills and experience relevant for the job you are seeking. Microsoft Word has some great templates to start out with if you are looking for ideas.

experience.

NO COMMENT.

bit of both

but skills mainly
no good if you have experience at failing

I think being skillful is more important .....
then comes being experienced

first impression

I think experience that's why the big bosses get paid what they do. You might be able to do something better, but they have experience and have been there before.

If you have the experience you should already have the necessary skills.

I think most employers are looking for a little of both :)

Skills.Without skills they wouldn't except you for any job. you cant just work at something you have no idea how to work.

I would say experience. Skill is good too, but experience will get you a bigger salary.

Experience. But sometimes overselling yourself w/ experience may work against you.

I'd say skills. If you don't know how to do the job then where could your experience come from.

its just personality thats what will do it

That's a tricky question. The best skills come from practical experience; however, that is not to say that someone with no skills (whatsoever) will be just fine. I think a better way to ask is, "What is more important to be qualified for a job: experience or talent." If you have a knack of picking up skills quickly while on the job and can transfer other skills learned to new situations, that is a talent I would value in my employees over experience.

It is about ethics and how to finish your work so fast than evey body else

skill I guess. Experience you can somewhat fact. If it's your first job than just make sure you include all the things that could be considered experience. volunteering past jobs, sports teams, music, clubs anything basically shows that you're dependible and realiable.

Wallahy ya Adhoma e5talaf el3olama2 :-) in other words, it depends on the organization itself, some welcomes the fresh grads provided that you're highly skilled while others needs an experienced one, they don't recognize the fresh grads.

Law 3ayzni akalemek ba2a 3an sho3'l el7okoma, they need NEITHER of the above, you just need "wasta mo7tarama" ;-)

Experience, I once was on a temp assignment for an oil and gas company for 3 months. I had all the experience (plus skills) for the job but I wasn't hired on because the company wanted a kid fresh out of college with a business degree. Neither my manger, his manager nor his manager's manager had a college degree. But some how they looked past all the experience in the field they had and decided they wanted to hire someone with no experience. I likened that to self hate. To me to say they didn't want someone with experience in the field is to say they would not hired there selves it they were over human resources.

One of my job than i had, i didn't have any experience or skills and i got hired two days after the interview.
Most of the time the company is looking for both, but it depends how u introduce ur self. ur first expression is very important.

Moonrise

skill comes with experience.
the answer is skill.

skills

clear_ruck

Both are important although in a general level once you have experienced something the skills should follow. However on a professional level being qualified would mean skills as employers look for potential.
