Hello readers, if you are looking to hire a company, there should be certain qualities that you need to look for. No matter what industry the company is in, it should have certain qualities. If the company is professional, they should surely have these qualities.

So, make sure that the company has all these qualities before you hire them or make any contracts with them. Each of the companies should have these qualities.

 

#1 Communication

The first thing that every single company must have is communication skills. You will only come to know about this when you contact them. The easiest way to find out is to contact them by requesting a quote or consultation. No matter which company you are planning to go with, they will be providing a free consultation. You can surely contact them and get the information accordingly. Better communication skills will indicate better after-sales services and support. So, you should surely look for communication skills. This will be the first thing that you need to see.

 

#2 Punctuality

You will have to see if the company is punctual or not. Punctuality will make sure that your services are delivered in time. If they don’t answer in proper time, chances are your work won’t be completed within the deadline or might take more time than usual. So, you will have to keep in mind these things. If the company is not punctual, you should think twice when you are giving the project to them or thinking to hire them.

 

#3 Professionalism

Of course, if you are looking for the best qualities every good professional company has. This doesn’t just mean in terms of communication, you also need to see the way of talking, clothing, and similar other things. We are not suggesting to you that you should look for the company that has suited up but it’s good to see whether they are up to date or not. This further depends on the work you want to do. If you are looking for a cleaning company, they might not be dressed as sharp as an IT company. So, you need to keep this in mind and then make the decision.

 

#4 Confidence

Confidence is also one of the best qualities every good professional company has. You need to see whether they can take your work without hesitating. If they think twice or thrice while taking your work, you might want to think twice. Confidence is required but if the company has overconfidence, you should not consider that company. Therefore, confidence is key. If you can find the company with confidence, you can go with that.

 

#5 Decision-Making Power

You also need to see the decision making power. Every professional company has decision making power. For example, if you want to hire them for a particular work, if they think twice and don’t decide within the given time frame, you should not work with that company. This is one of the qualities that every good professional company has.

 

#6 Team Work

Last but not the least, you will have to look for teamwork when you are planning to hire a company. The company should be able to work in a team and give you the quality that you deserve. This doesn’t simply mean that company should be having a big team. Even a small team will do. The main thing that you should keep in mind is that you should look for a company that is capable of working together in a team. In this way, you can be sure that your work will be done on time and with the best quality.

 

To conclude, these are some of the qualities every good professional company has. If you are looking to hire a company, you can look for these qualities. If the company has all these qualities, you can surely think of hiring that company. However, if the company doesn’t have all the qualities but has most of them, it’s still a good company that you can go with. So, don’t think much and if you found a similar company, it’s alright to hire them. You can share this with your friends. So, they can know about the qualities of a good professional company.

Warning: Pathetic rambling gibberish to follow that does The Man Without Qualities no justice.

Finally! My sentence is over. This book kept me imprisoned for more than two months and I am now thrown back into the real world.
Prison is a strange place. It made my heart heavy, longing for the company of all those books running at large out there – piling up on my reader, staring at me seductively from my shelves, calling me from bookstore windows.

Yet, as much as I craved freedom, I found comfort being boxed in between hundreds and hundreds of pages. The existence within these paper walls was monotone and illuminating at the same time. It was overwhelming at times. Sometimes it was more than what I could process. It frustrated me and it calmed me down.

My inmates were an interesting bunch of people as well (if only they talked less and did more). I would probably have fallen for Ulrich in the end - I have a soft spot for wiseacres. Me and Agathe would certainly have become friends had she not left the party so suddenly and had I not been set free.

Prison was actually a place of humility. It forced me to restrain my desires and it taught me that there are some subjects I know nothing about, quite a few topics I am ignorant of, many concepts I don’t understand. It taught me that perseverance pays off in the end and that confinement doesn’t necessarily mean lack of freedom.

The Man Without Qualities was a hard book for me to digest. It was too boring. It was too dense. It was too long and it was too short. It was amazing. There was genius lurking in every page, in every sentence almost.

I am now excited about all the books awaiting me, but a small part of me will always remain in that cell of thousands of pages, millions of words and an infinity of ideas.

Strange situations, strange characters, lots of secrets, and a small town.

QUALITIES OF WOOD has all of the above and more.  It mainly includes a beautiful, flowing writing style ​and an interesting​ storyline. The author masterfully keeps you wondering about the makeup of ​each character and the secrets that you know they are keeping.​

You will follow the main characters, Vivian and Nowell, through their present lives as well as their pasts.  As Vivian and Nowell settle into a family home they are going to renovate and as they ​meet their neighbors, Vivian questions Nowell's past as well as the neighbors' pasts.

You will also get a glimpse into Vivian's teenage years as the author takes you back and forth in time.  This was well done by having the flashback trigger something in Vivian's mind at the current moment and connect it to her past.​

Does this small town have secrets they keep from each other?  Do the neighbors really know each other? What was it that happened years ago that has everyone suspicious of each other?

Throughout the book there is a tension that the author perfectly conveys through her amazing writing style.  The characters all seem to get along, but you feel something isn't right. The way Ms.White can make you feel the fright, the tension, the distrust, the betrayal, and the sneaking, ulterior motives going on is excellent.  ​

THE QUALITIES OF WOOD​ is a subtle thriller and a book you won't want to read if you are alone or at night.  I became complete​l​y engrossed in the characters and the storyline. I imagine you will  do the same and try to figure out what’s behind each character.

The ending sort of wrapped up the plot, but there was something that didn’t satisfy me.  Regardless, it was a great read and a great debut novel. 4/5
​
I received a copy of this book from the publisher free of charge and without compensation in return for an honest review.​
