So, I got an email from HR saying they want me to take a test online to determine if I can move forward in the recruitment process. From my research, I have discovered that this is some sort of personality test and people have been denied employment because they failed it.
Any advice for me as I attempt to jump through flaming hoop number#5 to get a job as a new grad? Do I answer what I think they want to hear or do I go the super honest route?
All I can say is THANK GOD that I have never been in the position of having to take a personality test in order to get a job. I don't believe for a nanosecond that the results will truly let you know if a person will be a good fit for a job or an organization.
Well, on second thought, maybe it does tell you something about it -- I already know that I would not be a good fit for any organization that believes in such BS enough to base hiring decisions on it!!!!!!
The advice I received on this thread was very helpful. Thank you all so much. I avoided the wishy-washy in the middle responses and thought like a little indian who is punctual, team player. Worked like a charm.
