The whole world has gone fucking crazy!
- I am a veteran.
- I have a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration with a 3.75 out of 4.00 GPA.
And everyone wants to use asinine assessment tests to gatekeep me out of a job. I already jumped through four fucking years of hoops, spent tens of thousands of dollars, gave up tens of thousands of dollars via opportunity costs (I could have been working a job during that time).
And if I don’t complete their test I don’t get the job and the person with a GED or High School diploma who does complete it gets the job. They only want compliance and the abilty to utterly control you.
It’s because degrees aren’t unfortunately full proof certifications of your skill set. They should be, and they should require recertification to prove your skill set. This is handled differently in different countries and with different industries but requiring more deep and trusted educational programs would resolve the problem. It makes sense that a company wants to ensure they’re getting what the candidate says they are.
Hiring processes are a joke currently and involve a clearly bullshit song and dance that everyone knows is a lie. I ver much don’t like tests in this capacity but it’s clear it’s a symptom of issues in higher academia.
