I’ve been submitting resumes on multiple sites and some of the applications sent an email back to me to take an assessment. I SUCK at test taking. Something about reading about a situation to decipher it when I’d rather take the situation into the real world and solve it hands on, stumps me. This is why I quit Finite math in high school. So I took the assessment after putting it off for over a week with the threat of not even being considered without taking the assessment in my inbox every other day. I got the next to lowest score. I honestly don’t know where to start trying to “study” to attempt to get a higher score because I don’t know what I got wrong. Now, in having had all of the applications that sent me the assessment rejected, I wonder if I should have reached out with a friendly excuse or some type of verbiage that would explain that while they might consider the assessment to be a great judge of talent, it really isn’t as far as myself and what I bring to the table. Tell me what you would do. #advice #assessments #application #jobsearch
Testing is a skill.
Is it just me or do companies make you take assessments that have nothing to do with the job opening? Sometimes I feel like these assessments don’t make any sense or have anything to do with the job you’re applying for. #assessments
None of what you are saying makes any sense,whatsoever,to me. I've never worked at something called .... Assessments\n\Customer Focus Oriebration Highly Proficient..... Because that is BIZARRE If you can not make sense I will unsubscribe.
Same happened to me. A few of the tests i didn’t”highly proficient” others were just barely passing but when u apply for the job and they need a certain one of the test results it offers to post your current results or retake the test. I chose not to retake the ones I barely passed and eventually I got offered a job in the field I was searching with adequate pay. You just have to keep trying! Took me 2 months without a job to find one that finally offered me a position. Keep it up! Don’t get discouraged!!!! Your time will come i promise!!!
