| 1118597 | 2010-07-13 21:19:00 | Went for a job as Helpdesk. I failed apparently as my "score" wasn't high enough. This was an intelligence test(next pattern in sequence etc -16 correct out of 18) and a typing speed test. I typed too slow. Always when I have done those, they tell me they want accuracy rather than speed so I did type slower than I can. Obviously technical ability isn't of interest at all. There certainly weren't any test questions relating to that at all. |

| 1118598 | 2010-07-13 21:41:00 | Tend to be customer service and speed I gather .... those jobs some of them are part time workers (students) or travelers. | Nomad (952) | ||
| 1118599 | 2010-07-13 22:13:00 | Oh yes CS. That was part of the interview - give examples etc. One of my references is a Slingshot customer - what they would call a "difficult customer". But no - I don't type fast enough.... |

But no - I don't type fast enough.... Its complete bullshit, they hire people who hardly speak English and make tons of mistakes when typing in details. |

| 1118603 | 2010-07-13 22:48:00 | Pctek, it is their loss, but also sadly, a loss for those who would have needed your help. | lakewoodlady (103) | ||
| 1118604 | 2010-07-13 22:54:00 | Went for a job as Helpdesk. I failed apparently as my "score" wasn't high enough. This was an intelligence test(next pattern in sequence etc -16 correct out of 18) and a typing speed test. I typed too slow. You "failed" because the score was far too high. 16 out of 18! Next you would be arguing the point with supervisors and it would be all downhill from there on :D |
