Behavioral training key as AI screening rejects all 500 applicants

Behavioral training key as AI screening rejects all 500 applicants
Train the mindset: Why behavioral training is important · thehansindia.com

Imagine 500 people tried to get a job writing computer programs.

A computer test checked their answers, and nobody passed, because everyone copied or used a robot to write the answers.

This shows that knowing facts is not enough to be ready for work.

Companies also want workers who are honest, try their best, and can handle change.

Many young people are scared of failing, and that fear stops them from even trying.

One program in Andhra Pradesh added lessons on these 'people skills,' and almost all of the students found jobs at big companies.

Experts say most of the top job skills are things like being able to think clearly and work well with others.

The article says these skills should be practiced every day, like brushing your teeth, instead of in one boring class.

Being ready for a job means being ready on the inside, not just having a certificate.
