A Little 'Out of the Box' Thinking, Please

We continue to hear how we have a mis-match between the experience of unemployed workers out there and the skills some employers need.  It's a little frustrating to continue to hear how certain job categories and industries are having difficulty filling certain positions as noted in the article below: accountants, health care workers, software sales representatives, data analysts, physical therapists, electrical engineers. 

If employers aren't finding what they want in this economy, I invite them to be a little more creative on the training/development side along with being more flexible in identifying the transferable skills that would work.  A little out of the box thinking here please.  Help a career coach out...as the quote from the movie Jerry Maguire says: "Help me...help you".
