It's better to have a special skill at something than be someone who can do everything.
In English, a person who can do anything is called a "Jack of All Trades," which can be interpreted as a person who can do anything. However, nowadays some people think of this as a person who has no characteristics or specialties. In English, we say "Master of None."
A "Master" is a person who is well versed in something. The advantage of being an expert in something is that it attracts more attention than someone who can do anything and has no special characteristics. When looking for a job, people with special skills, especially those related to their work, are sought after by many companies.
However, hiring one person who excels in one thing will not balance out a company. Therefore, companies want to hire many people who are excellent in various fields. Needless to say, large companies have the advantage of being able to do this. For small and medium-sized companies, hiring people who excel in only one thing will leave them with nothing.
The smaller the company, the more you need people who can do everything. Managers must understand this and know what kind of human resources they need based on the size of their company. It is important to know that the smaller the size of the company, the less room there is for people who can only do one thing.
