Andy walks into her interview in The Devil Wears Prada without the fashion background Miranda is used to seeing. Miranda asks her to justify why she’s qualified, and Andy holds her ground.

That’s the part a resume would never have told Miranda. Experience is easy to list on paper, but drive, personality and a willingness to prove yourself only show up when you get to know someone. With Cnect, hiring teams get that look much earlier, before a strong candidate gets passed over for what’s missing from their resume.

The best hire isn’t always the one with the most experience. Sometimes it’s the one who wants it most. Visit cnected.com to learn more.

Picture this. You’re a college student, and your school has strict rules about using AI on assignments. Then after an exam, you reportedly see your professor’s AI prompts on the classroom projector.

That’s what students at Trinity University say happened in a biology class. The professor says he didn’t use AI to write the exam, only to refine two class presentations. Students still want to know why the rules seem to apply to them more than to faculty.

The university is now exploring a way to show students how much AI a course uses before they register.

Should professors be held to the same AI standards as students? Let me know in the comments.

In a season 5 episode of Parks and Rec, Chris fires both employees in Pawnee's animal control department for being terrible at the job. Leslie and her committee start looking for a replacement.

When the applications come in, there's a problem. The only two people who applied are the two people they just fired.

With Cnect, Leslie could've evaluated candidates before ever scheduling an interview, so she'd have known who was actually the right fit long before ending up back in a room with the same two people she just let go. Having experience and a nice resume doesn't always mean someone's right for the role. Sometimes it just means they're the only ones who showed up.

In Moneyball, Billy Beane is building a competitive baseball team on a budget that shouldn't let him compete with anyone. Everyone around him wants to go with the eye test. Peter Brand says look at the numbers instead.

Hiring has the same blind spot. A resume and a gut feeling don't actually tell you much about whether someone can do the job well. Cnect closes that gap, real video responses and real assessments, not just a polished resume.

Sometimes the best candidate isn't the one who looks best on paper. Visit cnected.com to learn more.

Entry-level jobs don't feel entry-level anymore, and that's becoming a real problem for college students entering the workforce.

CNBC recently told the story of Rachel Grandis, a 22 year old Elon University grad with a degree in strategic communications. Five years creating content for her school's athletic department, social media management for the business school, multiple marketing internships, restaurant and summer camp jobs. Still couldn't land a full-time position.

She's not the only one. A Cengage survey of 1,100 recent grads found that 77% believe employers are asking for too much experience at the entry level, and 53% have decided not to apply to jobs in their own field because they felt underqualified.

How are new graduates supposed to get the experience employers want, if the jobs they're applying for already require them to have it? Comment your thoughts.

Mateo from Superstore believed he was perfect for the floor supervisor job. He didn't get picked.

So Mateo did what felt right to him. Started acting like the supervisor anyway. Bossing people around, telling coworkers he was already in charge.

It's a great bit, and honestly, it points at something real. When there's no clear process for filling an open role, somebody's going to fill that gap on their own, whether they're actually the right person or just the loudest one in the room.

A real process, post the role, let the team apply, let the evaluation actually be structured, means the right person gets picked. Not just whoever puts their own picture on the wall first.

Remember the Brown professor who thought his class was cheating with ChatGPT and switched his final to in-person and closed-book? He's not done.

This semester, he's adding an oral exam, with we**am software built by Brown's engineers that can catch a student looking at another screen instead of the camera.

His take is simple. AI can help, but he's not letting technology drive while humans sit in the backseat.

Should colleges let students use AI however they want, or does that just build dependency? Let me know in the comments.

A dealership owner in Houston posted one open role and got 100 applications. Three and a half days later, he'd only made it through about a third of them.

That's the reality for a lot of small business owners right now. It's not that good candidates aren't out there, it's that they're buried under everyone else applying, and there's no real way to read through all of it while still running a business.

Cnect exists to close that gap. Tell us what you're looking for, and instead of a hundred resumes, you get a shortlist of the people actually worth your time.

Candidates are using AI to beat hiring systems. Employers are using AI to beat the candidates using AI. Somehow, nobody's winning.

Wired called this the AI hiring doom loop. Resumes get scanned by an ATS before a person sees them, so candidates use AI to beat the scan, and employers use AI to catch that and filter it out. Now it's AI versus AI, with neither side any closer to good hiring.

AI isn't the problem. It's already part of hiring. The real opportunity is making it more honest for everyone, not just harder to game.

If you're using AI in your hiring process right now, what do you think actually fixes this? Let us know in the comments.

There are three trends shaping how people expect to communicate today, and none of them are going away. Text based communication. Social and digital communication. And how quickly we expect information, video, instant, on demand.

Think about it. You want to buy something, you want it today. Amazon literally has a filter for that.

So why does applying for a job still mean waiting weeks to hear anything back?

That's a real gap, between how people expect to be communicated with everywhere else in their life, and how hiring still operates. Closing that gap is exactly what Cnect was built to do.
