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.
0·7 months ago- A degree is just proof that you are organized and capable enough to step through arbitrary hoops for a period.
- Being a veteran can also show the same thing.
- A lot of companies use psychological profiling tests and questions that are largely garbage science, but you need to learn the right answers to show you’re potentially a culture fit.
- Any job that doesn’t have a respected certification body is going to have some form of competency test. Too many people lie or didn’t actually learn the concepts in college.
- If you’re actually competing with someone who just has a GED for the same job, you aren’t the target demographic for that position.
