Software applications can train specific skills to creative, IT, and all kinds of employed professionals as well as to employees of staffing agencies. But the problem, one software developer claims, is not who is trained or what they are trained to do, but how well the training fits the company’s or client’s business needs. With this in mind, they’re developing software that syncs job training with business needs.
Not to be confused with the the Windows text editor or the gun-care lubricant of the same name, the new software, called Prolix, aims to ensure “proper alignment between individual training and business priorities,” according to “Software Solution Identifies Skills Gaps In The Workplace” in Science Daily.

Over the years, I have had hundreds of candidates interview with my clients. I would like to think that those lead to hundreds of placements but that’s another post on another day. The usual response received from about 99% of those candidates is “the interview went GREAT”. After a few more questions with my candidate, often times it is easy to gauge how successful the interview was and how to move forward. If you just had a 15 minute interview and the hiring manager was looking at his/her watch the entire time, it is safe to say that your job search is not over. So, during your job search, after each interview, try to answer the following questions to determine the likelihood of you being in or out of the running.
How long were you there?
How many people did you meet?
Who did you meet and what were their roles?
What did you learn about the job?
What did you like most about the position?
What did you like least about the position?
Did you answer all of their questions completely?
Were all of the questions technical and business related?
Did they ask you about compensation/salary?
When did they say they would get back with you?
How did they leave you after the interview?
Best of luck with your job search.
John
