The first thing we thought of when applying for a job is our resume. We thought of something like putting all good things about ourselves in our resume. I have never seen a resume with negative things about the person.

Resumes and application forms give employers written evidence of your qualifications and skills. The goal of these documents is to prove—as clearly and directly as possible—how your qualifications match the job’s requirements. We usually do this by highlighting the experience, accomplishments, education, and skills that most closely fit the job you want. Resumes are like ‘passport’ to the company. The employer does not know anything about you. Perhaps, resume will tell them something about you. However, not everything that is written on the resume is correct. It has been estimated that 50% of the people lie on their resumes. Primarily, because they are so eager to get hired and they want to impress their “soon-to-be” boss.

The Personality-Job Fit Theory assumes that examining a person’s personality will give insight into their adaptability in an organization. Basically, how well they will fit in and work. By matching the right personality with the right company you can achieve a better synergy and avoid pitfalls such as high turnover and low job satisfaction[1].

Moreover, there is a need to know whether an individual can really do what is written on his/her resume.

With Profiles Skills Tests™ provide a comprehensive list of tests to measure essential knowledge and skills. Our technologies use performance-based testing, which simulates popular software products to ensure accurate, reliable measurement of the knowledge, skills, and abilities of a person.
