This is a good episode to listen to with an open mind and will help you think about what employers are looking for when they're reading resumes and evaluating you. If you're nervous about taking assessments or "pre employment tests", or have never taken one and have apprehension about being asked to complete one - Margaret will put you at ease by explaining what they are, how they're used and why they're valuable to both the employer and the candidate. Margaret explains why a recruiter's 10 second scan of your resume is actually fair, and what YOU should be doing to maximize your 10 seconds.
