Because an employer from outside really wants to work and he must prove himself in the company also it depends on your hiring. People from outside will create different cultures in you company and this makes your company the best.

Yes, sir, You have many options for this job at outside. But, I don't know rest. I think have all qualities and requirements for this job. I had a bit experience in this field which I work in the previous. And I hope this will help in upcoming days in my career future. You may think these only words but I can make it action until and unless I get a chance. To prove myself and my ideas.

Change is inevitable, change give the new ways to the fresh ideas. So the hiring from outside of the company will give way for the different thinkings to welcome outside the company as some other experience could be more beneficial sometimes.

You see, there's something that counts as 'experience' in job.

As an insider person would have more experience, he would be an apt choice.

But it's applicable when you are concerned with only getting the job done.

Contrary to that, when a new person joins a company, he'd see it through a new angle, since his mind is still fresh, he'd be ready to try new things, instead of following the old procedure. And it has a high chance of improving the efficiency of your company.

So it would be better to hire someone like me who has a mind for analysis, rather than someone who'd just be more than happy to keep the ways as they are and stagnating the progress.
