situational test online

[rr203]

So, I applied for 3 signalling position at the start of June, on Friday I received an answer for one of them, after the online situational test I was unsuccessful this is not giving me good hopes for the other 2, just waiting for an answer back now.
What I would like to know is, do I need to wait 6 months, before applying again? Any info and advice appreciated.
Thanks

Yeah, that test will apply for all your current applications.

I'm not 100% on the time limit for new applications with a new test, maybe give HR a ring and ask them?

Not to sound too negative, but if you didn't succeed at that, are you sure signalling is for you?

thanks for your insights regarding the actual test. And answering your question, yes, I believe signalling is for me. At the end of the day, I did apply after making sure I had all the necessary requirements. Without entering a discussion on the merits and inevitable shortcomings of situational judgement tests, there are plenty of people who fail the first time and go on to become pretty good signallers. So yes, if given the chance I will definitely apply again.

Thanks

That's awesome mate. They'll definitely appreciate the tenacity. Which boxes/grades are you going for?

As a way to game the test, it's fairly simple. You just have to read through the question to see which NonTechnical Skill it's asking about and pick the answer that most associates with that particular skill.
