Sir,

Why do we upgrade to new technology when the old one is still helping us. Same way we need to upgrade human resources for betterment of the organization and to bring in new ideas.

An organization is like a tree, it has so many branches as old employees but make a tree bigger new branches are required always. That's why you are hiring someone from outside for development of the company in terms of fresh knowledge, new ideas and work experience.

Sir,

According to me if you could promote someone from inside you would not have called up for this interview. As far as I'm concerned I think I've all the good qualities in me a good employee represents.

Sir for the development of any organisation what matters is the level of knowledge which an individual possess; whether he is from outside or any reference etc., will not be relevant for achieving success of an organisation.

The company might be thinking that Old broom knows the corners of the house but the new broom cleans the floor better. I'm sure you are looking for a combination of both and that why I'm getting interviewed today.

If you want to hire someone from within, then you didn't ask me this question. And I would not present here now to answer this question in front of you.

Sir, as I think,

Hiring a Fresher is, Hiring a Fresh Idea.

Which is required by the organisation, not may be at every point of time, but, definitely at certain Intervals.

I completely agree the people currently working are much more knowledgeable than the newcomers. But, One thing that I would like to bring to your notice is that the people who use technology the most is the young generation.

So, sir as I belong to them, I know what they want and expect from the upcoming technology, which definitely will be beneficial for the organisation.
