Ugh, not sure where to put this, but I'll just put it here: gently caress companies that use those loving "online personality test" things. They are pure BS. I just "failed" one for a job I was applying to, and I don't know how anyone could "pass" it, given it gives you "unwinnable" situations. Like...it was 116 sets of "questions," and each question was four statements, and I chose one that was most like me, and one that was least, and two of them stay unchecked. But they'd typically give me four statements that would all be GOOD things to be most like me, and BAD things to be least like me. Like: I am an outgoing person. I like following established rules and regulations. I enjoy working in a team. I don't get nervous meeting new people. Like...if that last one wasn't a negative, it would be a good choice for the least, but nope...I gotta choose a "good" quality about me that is LEAST like me. Since the job was for a field service position, not sales or any kind of managements, I often would choose leadership and "sales"-type questions as my least-quality...welp, bad move, I guess. But is there any way to sort of guarantee a win on these things? Or is it all a crap-shoot?

Just wanted to pop in to say thanks to FAN OF NICKELBACK, and the rest of the thread. I had an interview this past week, and I start a new job as a Software QA Specialist on Monday. After a month on unemployment, you have no idea how relieved I am. And even though this is a job I have never done before, and know little about, all the tips and advice in this thread helped me out a ton. For the first time in my big job search, I really sat down ahead of time and thought up good answers to the obvious questions I knew they'd ask, as well as some I thought they'd ask. They still threw a couple curveballs my way I wasn't expecting, but I obviously still wowed them. Thanks thread, and for those still looking/interviewing, please don't dismiss this thread or the advice, and keep your head up!
