Latest research discovers that 44% of jobseekers have only ever put their CV together, just the once. Does this tell us that many jobseekers only compile their CV, apply for the one job and then are lucky enough to be offered it? Wouldn't that make job hunting easy!

Further to this, 34% have created somewhere between 2 and 5 CV's when applying for a job. This relates to the CV being varied according to the similar but different roles being applied for at the same time. 

13% have created more than 10 CV's - WOW! And 9% have put together between 5 and 10 CV's.

So, how many have you done? Have you found that you are re-creating many CV's so you only ever send one CV to one company? This is how we advise jobseekers to go about their job applications to ensure they are really targeting their applications according to the job and role. So if this is YOU, well done and keep it up!

CEB SHL produces a variety of psychometric tests, including numerical reasoning, verbal reasoning, and inductive reasoning. These psychometric tests are given to a variety of applicants, from fresh graduates to executive managers.

In recent years, employers have started to use psychometric tests more frequently, with the understanding that investing the time in screening candidates saves money in the long run. For instance, it has been proven that candidates are more likely to stay in a position if they underwent an intensive application process. Thus, CEB SHL has come to fill employer's needs, serving as one of the more popular assessment companies amongst employers of all sizes, from global firms to SMEs. It is likely you will encounter a CEB's SHL test on one of your upcoming assessments.

What Should You Know before Taking CEB's SHL Tests?

1.CEB’s SHL offers a variety of tests. Each test differs according to the industry, position, and level. This means the verbal reasoning test given to applicants for senior management positions will be more difficult than the one given to graduates. Take a look at these practice tests for different professional levels:
Entry-Level
Graduate/ Management
Senior Management

2.Most of CEB's SHL tests are computerised, either taken online or at your employer’s office. That being said, you may still encounter a paper-based version of some of the assessments.

3.Something unique about CEB’s SHL tests is that they use the verification method. Candidates first take an unsupervised online test. They then are required to take a shorter, supervised version of the test to ensure their results are reliable. Learn more about this process and practise taking CEB's SHL–style tests.

4.CEB's SHL tests have time constraints. This can be stressful for candidates. Luckily, many tests are designed so you don’t necessarily need to complete the exam within the allocated time.

5.The scores of your CEB's SHL tests are relative, meaning your results are tallied relative to other people with similar backgrounds to you.
