You could use data from an applicant’s profile to predict performance. Data such as work experience, length of positions, accomplishments, education experience, and grades, certifications or organizations could all be indicative of performance.

While I think there has been some breakthroughs in creative ways of representing data, I think it’s important to not get too crazy with the graphs and animations.

A key difference between an ERD and a schema is an ERD is more of a visual representation of relationships within a system, while a schema can be thought of as the behind the scenes design of the system in tabular format.
