Show Notes:
The spirit of online aptitude tests is to provide an objective way to test candidates. Some are tests with right answers (e.g. ability tests) and others are personality profiles with no ‘correct’ answers. Jump into the discussions with Kerry and Simon to see how to approach and succeed to your full potential. Don’t forget you can engage with your careers teacher/service or Job Centre Plus.
