Marketing on 6th Seek Entrepreneur Qualities and Defy Self-Employment Study

    NEW YORK, NY, August 21, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- A recent study presented at the Annual Meeting of the Academy of Management (Orlando, Florida Aug 9th) sounded caution to the recent increase in the numbers of people moving towards self-employment. The study claimed that self-employment is a negative signal on the job market and that people who have previously been self-employed will find it much harder to obtain an employed position (entrepreneurs received about 63% fewer positive responses from potential employees than wage employees received). New York's leading direct sales force, Marketing on 6th, challenges the results of this study and believes that entrepreneurship qualities in people should be brought out in business. The firm seek candidates who show entrepreneurial qualities and confirm those who are innovative will be more likely to secure a work opportunity within their company.

'A strong sense of initiative, resilience, an ability to adapt quickly to change, great work ethics and being goal driven and focused on achieving results are just a few of the benefits budding entrepreneurs offer. Our company is growing, we frequently have work opportunities available, and I can confirm the candidates that are self-starters have experience contracting or managing their own schedules, will shoot to the top of our recruitment process,' according to Colm Horgan, entrepreneur and Managing Director of Marketing on 6th, INC. An ambitious direct sales force, Marketing on 6th has always promoted entrepreneurship and self-employment as a way to become successful in business. 'For businesses that are looking for strong leaders with a great sense of responsibility, I think a former self-employed business owner would quite easily fit the bill. The motivation, drive and commitment it takes to be successful working for yourself are attributes employers simply should not dismiss,' claims Marketing on 6th's HR Director, Brittany Lennon.

Marketing on 6th claim that self-employed people are extremely adaptable and young people with entrepreneurial dreams can actually make great hires for a small business. Young entrepreneurs will come into the work place fresh-faced, bringing different perspectives and creative ideas. With a background from the self-employed route, people are more likely to understand a lack of resources or man power that a small business in the early stages of development might have; they would be much more able to adapt and cope with this situation rather than if coming from a large organisation with everything at their fingertips.

The other benefit of hiring budding entrepreneurs is that you can allow new ideas and creative strategies to help the business. Many companies are embracing the idea of 'entrepreneurs' - not sacrificing the visions of the company, but keeping an open mind to ideas brought to the table.

Marketing on 6th also challenge the claim from the study that the increase in numbers of self-employment is a negative signal on the job market. Entrepreneurship and self-employment doesn't only reap tremendous rewards for them but also help contribute to local economies. There is an increasing amount of research that suggests sustainable economies are developed through the presence of entrepreneurs rather than more traditional route of employment.

Marketing on 6th are an outsourced direct sales firm based in the heart of New York City.
