Assessment test
I am over these assessments test that employers send you just to send you an email stated "Sorry but we feel we are not a match or good fit". I havent even taken some of there test and still get a letter. They are bs test just to see if you can read or add and its the same test over and over. These test dont do justice on some one work ethics loyalty honesty. Or integrity. Its a waste of time for the employer and person applying. Too lazy to talk to someone in person. Or how about the famous phone interview 15 questions to get a letter saying " SORRY BUT..." OR meet for an interview and then the famous we will call you and never hear from them again. What ever happen to common curiosity of meeting someone face to face or work a week to see how you fit. Or what ever it is. Too much HR with computers going through there system and throwing out the bad apps. And you are the maybes so here is your test. Please just more bs...
I understand majority of the world works week to week or saves just enough to live on for a few months but life happens and so do unforeseen circumstances that we all need to understand as employees or employers. But nobody seems to care about the little man or women that is workings its ass off to make it through life. But this little man or woman sure the hell dont need an assessment test to prove how to work. Or even prove to these employees or employers how smart they are. Or is it another way of discriminating againist the ones who want to work and are ready to work, the ones who need a job and are willing to put there heart and soul into it. Those ones that are humble happy love who they are. They are the ones with experience and confidence. Does that scare the employer?? Dont worry employers they are not after your job, they just want to work. They want to work to be able to put food on the table or roof over their heads or new stuff for the kids. They want to work, work that assessment test cant show you.
I have had the privilege of seeing the correct way of answering the question on the assessment test. I have answered then correctly and I answered them wrong. And got the same letters "Sorry but....." so yes i believe its BS...
This is mostly for the employer who read these sites assessment test does not prove a person integrity or future employee worth their ethics or loyalty or honesty to your company. Get rid the test and interview like you are suppose too face to face with dignity and respect that these fellow job hunters deserve. What happen to interview everyone because that one you missed might be someone else STAR.. what happened???
We all deserve better then assessment test.. We deserve a chance......

I'm with you . I went to go apply at my local neighborhood walmart market . After two weeks I couldn't sign into the website to check on my app . I call and call can't get a hold of hiring manager . Went in she was busy and we'll the girl at the cs desk took down my info . But something said just wait for her . I waited 45 minutes and finally she came out and met with me . The interview went great , after asking me what shift and when orientation would be . She said oh I'm sorry you didn't pass your assessment test . And they wanted to hire me and went to go see if there was a way to get around it but nope . I walked out that room so disappointed. I was open for any schedule and they really needed people for those shifts but o damn assessment test is why I didn't get hired for stocking products on shelves .

A lot of them are also personalty tests. If you don't fit the extrovert stereotype. They won't touch you.

I am so over those too. I dont even do them anymore. And you send resume and all of your info but then you have to apply online on their site its so frustrating.

Sharon Logan , not to mention that those assessments tests take forever to get through in the first place. I haven't completed an online application this year that did not include a personality or skills assessment as part of the application process.
At this point it's an unavoidable step for anyone that wants to apply so the best thing we can do is learn how to beat them and avoid getting automatically disqualified for jobs we know we can perform. I don't see any other way around this mess.
So very true!
