I am currently a senior working on graduating next term in the summer. As a result, I have found myself applying for several jobs a week. Filling out an application, in general, is something I typically find myself dreading to do, however, Indeed has allowed for a smoother and more time-efficient process. I am not saying that all applications on Indeed are easy, however more than if you went directly to the company website. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The other day I was applying for a position, and the process went fairly smoothly. The company had listed everything I needed to know upfront to make me feel comfortable for knowing what exactly I was applying for. However, towards the end of the application, I was required to take a test. Within the test, the questions I was being asked were in the form of “would you either”. I was asked, “would you either talk behind someone’s back or do personal work on the clock.” Unfortunately there was no option to do neither. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This test gave me an odd impression of the company that I was applying for. I understand the motive behind this test is to see if you pick the “better” one of the two, however, I wouldn’t want to select either of them. This made me question the culture of the company and whether or not I would want to work for them. How would you feel if a job that you were applying for included questions like these? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
