That's not the only assessment test you'll be taking however. It has become increasingly common for companies, including Fortune 500 companies, to use a <a href="http://midwesthr.com/" rel="nofollow">PEO</a> to administer more tests in the application process. It's not designed to make you fail, but the tests are given so employers know your skill level, personality type, etc. It not only benefits the employers, but it can help you get an early insight into what the company is looking for and if you are truly right for the job.

I live in the UK, unfortunately, we don't have a Occupational Outlook Handbook available here. Maybe I've just found an occupation - perhaps I should write one! This sounds a great resource!
