General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters | | English term or phrase: according to his merits | | I asked someone which kind of job another person should do, the answer was: according to his merits. My question is: what does merits exactly mean in this context? Is it according the professional experience and professional skills someone has already gained? Or could it also mean what someone would like to do because he is intersted in a specific topic but not yet having experience and skills in this field? |
