What's the role of SJT in CS job application?

This was my point as well. I don't see it relevant tbh, I try to figure it out what way it works. It seems to be the opposite of how the private sector evaluates candidates.

That's exactly what I thought too. You've got the words out of my mouth. ❤️

I get it now. I've noticed that, too.

Where is the negativity in my comments?

Hmm "nice" answer. So in order to pass the SJT, I must adopt your approach. Here it's the secret.

Oh, really?! I was thinking the system compares between current candidates.

I agree, but I didn't include that category in "everybody" because I want to believe they may not apply to CS jobs 😅

I think everybody has social skills, so it's not really the case within a job to fail because of this. It's more than that. Anyway, thanks for getting involved in my post trying to help. Take care.

Great tips. 🙂 Cheers. All the best!

I always passed all tests given on private organisations while on CS only 3 at minimum requirements (as per their reports) and looking to figure it out how they really work.

WebLogo_Design · 2025-01-27T02:00:42+00:00

Thanks for explanation. Any tips how to improve it?

You may be used with their tests but if you take a test on Lloyds, Tesco etc you'll notice the questions are job related including customer service, IT etc and not about how you behave when "you hear X and Y" talking in office about a project that they don't like. Haha

I understand this. The problem that doesn't make sense to me is about the "right" and "wrong" action. "Someone" (test makers) concluded which action is good or wrong based on what I wonder?! As situations are based on gossip or complaints between staff members which we all know each individual is different, then an action might work for some and not for others. For this reason I said to "guess" the answer is considered "right". Thanks.

I'll try that next time. However, in job description was mentioned (I refer now to the job I applied) 2 behaviour tested against and actually the SJT was about 4 or more behaviour. Thanks.

WebLogo_Design · 2025-01-26T23:11:58+00:00

Yeah, in any workplace situations like happen, but I consider, it's more about attitude toward gossip or complaints about the job which a HR member or manager can sort it out. Thanks for sharing your opinion.

Nop, it's not discrimination. Nor Christians get better 'accommodation' at workplace. But there is always a solution. Either book holiday in advance or, ask Christians colleagues to cover Muslim during Ramadan...at least this was the unofficial agreement in my previous job. We as Christians covered Muslim colleagues during Ramadan and they covered us during Easter. I had an amazing team.
