The EPAI is an indicator that determines the job applicant's chance of getting any particular job, according to the KLI. The KLI developed the employment possibility calculation software jointly with Hellojob, an Internet employment agency, after 18 months of research. The two will start providing the service later this month. Jobseekers can check their chance of getting hired by using this program online. They must answer a number of questions posed by the EPAI testing system. The system considers an applicant's employment capability and the details of their employment preparation. The KLI developed the EPAI by systematically classifying and rating a total of 325 factors that enterprises consider when hiring new staff. They rated the factors according to importance, and then considered data on job market trends and various corporations' volume of personnel recruitment throughout the year. The EPAI testing system rates a jobseeker's competitiveness for a position by assigning her or him a numerical rating. This rating is based on the number of points out of 1,000 the job seeker has earned on the index. The index denotes the employment possibility for a job hunter by calculating the applicant's data. A jobseeker with 700 points or more has a high possibility of winning a job, said the institute. The KLI's system is designed to distinguish a jobseeker's EPAI, according to the occupation and company for which they apply for employment. For instance, the EPAI would differ when an individual is applying to a world-class firm with a fine work environment, or when she is applying to companies that are less professional, even when the applicant is the same person. Moreover, aside from the EPAI, clients can learn their strengths and shortcomings in five subject areas -- paperwork competitiveness, interview competitiveness, work performance capacity, work attitude, and vocational aptitude -- by using the testing system. By first going through this process jobseekers can find out which companies have a high possibility of accepting them, as well as methodically preparing for a job by making up for their weaknesses in advance of any testing or interviews. The KLI plans to provide the service to students at Dong-A University within the month to examine their employment competitiveness ahead of graduation. "The government's unemployment policy is inefficient, as can be seen by the jobless vague employment strategy that is focused only on getting hired. By utilizing our EPAI testing system, the unemployed can now systematically design their employment plans and the government will be able to make use of the data in reeducating the number of jobless," said Lee. People wanting to test their EPAI competitiveness can log onto www.hellojob.com or other major job agencies' websites. ------------------------------ From: Creed71963@aol.com Date: Fri, 12 Oct 2001 01:29:25 EDT Subject: the_dojang: Re: How many Forms? I'm just wondering, How many forms do you teach up to 1st Dan? I've seen mention of one form being taught over several gups, and certain weapon forms. I'm just curious some systems get by with four or five forms, while other Systems have double or triple that number of forms.
