Career Aptitude and Selection Tests
With the wide range of jobs currently on the market, it is often difficult for job seekers to pinpoint exactly what they want to do. Now in its second edition, this no-nonsense workbook points readers in the right direction. With a range of IQ tests and searching questionnaires, it helps job seekers to work out what area of work they should be focusing on, by identifying their interests and strengths and scientifically interpreting which jobs they are suited to.
Compiled by a psychometric testing specialist and bestselling author this book has three main aims: careers guidance, preparation and personal performance improvement. It works on the principle that self knowledge enables readers to relate their personal characteristics to career opportunities. At the same time, it provides an opportunity to prepare for the types of psychometric tests likely to be encountered while job seeking. And finally, it aims to improve performance by demonstrating how to apply aptitudes and personal qualities at work.
From New Recruit to High Flyer
From New Recruit to High Flyer is not just about how to get by in a career, but how to become one of the rising stars in an organization. Not only will it help anyone to become viewed as a highflyer, it will also help them to achieve greater job satisfaction, higher pay and faster promotion.
Hard-hitting and realistic, From New Recruit to High Flyer reveals the views of Harvard Business School graduates and other top executives on how to succeed on the first rung of the career ladder. It is based on a survey of 200 successful executives who were strong performers when they were on the first rung, and have gone on to continued rapid promotion or to new positions at some of the most selective companies in the world. Throughout this book, they share their thoughts on what made them and those around them successful. They provide real-life examples from their own experiences on what made the difference for them and also share their perspectives on why their colleagues, who were often equally as capable, were less successful.
