Bloody Numeracy tests! (rant)

Just took a whole batch of Verbal reasoning and Numeracy tests today for the Civil Service Graduate Fast Stream exam, and I dunno what happened to my brain! Seriously these things are fucked up. 20 minutes to answer 40 dense questions on percentages...aagh! All I wanna do is sit behind a desk and answer dopey emails, not run the effing country lol!

University has really slowed down my brain... If you want to stay sharp DON'T TAKE AN ENGLISH LIT DEGREE haha

Anybody else had to jump through bullshit Human Resources tests just so they can get a fairly average job? The scary thing is I'm only like 1/7th through the process, still have to do the four (FOUR!!) interviews, assessment day, presentation and (get this) CREDIT/BACKGROUND/HEALTH checks!

End of rant. Working for the government had better be worth it.

Feel free to post your recruitment horror stories here.

well the up side of working for the government is that once you have the job, unless you royally fuck up your there for life.

my employees were given criminal background checks
and drug tests, i dident do any written tests or anything though
