Did anybody happen to grab the Vacancy Description for either of the 2 roles (namely the reference number) and where to send the application form?
Cheers,

My point all along is not that employers DO owe candidates a fair process it's that they SHOULD owe candidates a fair process.
Are you suggesting that because people cheat on applications forms, employers are seeking 'revenge' by creating an unfair test to balance it out? That's ridiculous...
If you're a trainee driver, presumably you're not applying for other trainee driver jobs. Which sort of implies that you haven't even seen the questionnaire you're defending?
Red2005,
You keep saying times have changed. What specifically has changed in recent times that makes this particular test fair and just?
You seem to be defending the need for more slick processes rather than this test specifically. I don't think anyone is disputing the fact that recruitment...

I think a significant amount of...
My issue with it isn't that customer service is irrelevant to the role, it's that the questions aren't adequate at differentiating between a good and poor customer service attitude.
Let's look at the example mentioned above:
You are working at the gate to the side of the automatic...
I am somewhat dubious as to the accuracy of these psychometric tests though having been involved with them in a previous job application.
Good luck to all that apply
Hi rchta455,
I have just completed the situational judgement part of the application too but for the Dartford vacancy and...
