Are you unsure what personality questionnaires are?
TipTopJob have partnered with JobTestPrep to help explain what they are and provide you with some practical examples so that you become an expert before you have to actually do one.
Personality tests are a very popular method for assessing potential employees during job interviews. The results of these tests have a significant influence on your chances of getting the job as they are seen as a measurement of your compatibility with the job you’re applying for.
Personality tests are often referred to as personality questionnaires. The reason for this is partly because they are often not timed, but mainly in order to make you feel more comfortable with the test and thus answer as honestly as possible. It is also for this reason that most of these tests will say that there is no right answer. This is obviously far from accurate. Depending on the specific position, virtually every question has answers that will help you or hinder your employment chances. It is very important for this reason to prepare for these Personality Tests, despite what the assessment companies might tell you.

With National Hug Your Boss Day fast approaching, it has been reported this year that 46% think it is NEVER acceptable to hug their boss.
A recent study conducted by TipTopJob went on to find that only 5% would hug their boss when their boss praised them, 15% would hug their boss on “hello” or “goodbye” but 19% would when they got a promotion.
National Hug Your Boss Day is being held on Friday 23rd August 2013. The day was launched back in 2008 to promote workplace relationships and highlight the importance of getting along with your boss/manager.
A secondary survey asked individuals if they were a “pro” or “anti” hugger. Corinne Hutchinson, comments, “A massive 73% said they were a “pro” hugger. So, given this huge figure, we are asking people to get hugging, get snapping and submit their photos online on our Facebook page. There is a competition running for the best hug this year.”
National Hug Your Boss Day was created by TipTopJob.com, an online Job Board with over 400,000 live jobs across the world. Please contact us for more information coz@tiptopjob.com.
