Hiring "Assestment" - Projected time to finish 182 Minutes.
Posted on 5/7/22 at 10:45 pm

To the OT, Does anyone think this is excessive?
I applied for a position to work as a traveling technician.
They are asking for a 18 part Assessment - 10 minutes each. Everything to check your Computer Literacy, Personality, Emotify, and Mechanical Aptitude.
Anyone else think this is excessive?
3 Freaking Hour assessment.
Before you make the "next round of interviews"
This is a position servicing Sewing Machines. If your curious.
I do not have a window to finish a 3 hour assessment right now. I feel like it is a red flag. They were very vague with the pay and could not give me a straight answer. After advertising lower mid six figures. Also really sold me on a "family" type of company.
The first interview I had, the manager said they had over 2000 applicants. So after that interview. I never responded, I assumed I would be passed over. They have been sending me emails weekly asking for my interest to continue with the hiring process.
I got some brain fog on it.

Honestly that sounds like it’s meant to just weed out a bunch of people. No one is gonna spend 3 hours doing that if they don’t REALLY want that job.

You make low-mid 6 figures working on sewing machines?
Posted on 5/7/22 at 10:52 pm to Doublebagger
They’re going to try to sell you something OR expect you to sell something.

Lol. You can’t carve out 3 hours to complete this?
You obviously don’t want this that much at all.

Yeah I think there is some bs with the company R**il.
Again they were very vague about pay and could not give you a straight answer.
It is residential, like grandmas sewing machines. Not commercial.
I imagine you would be traveling in your personal vehicle or one of their commercial vehicles, servicing sewing machines/upgrades and selling parts.
Again you have to finish the 3 hour assessment to be interviewed by "3 managers" where you discuss your exact placement, description, and pay.

All kinds of weirdness in this post.

The company has the right to ask for any pre-employment screening they want. It's expensive to hire people and find out later they don't have the skills to fulfill the job requirements.
The biggest question is your attitude toward the requirements. Do you really want the job and are you willing to prove yourself capable? Are you going to question everything the company asks of you post employment?

What do you do after dinner? Do you sleep 8 hours per night? Make it 5 hours one night. It’s okay if you think the job is worth it.

Well. I will go through with it and update the OT. I think this is sketch. We will see.

A 3 hour assessment for a “lower mid six figure” job is NOT the sketch part. I would expect a time consuming grueling hiring process for that kind of money.
What is sketch is giving a salary range of “lower mid six figure” in the first place. What does that even mean? Mid six figures would presumably be around $500k. So are we talking 300k range here?
And the REALLY sketch part is there is a residential sewing machine technician job that pays “lower mid six figures” anyway. This sounds like some sort of sales job where they are going to pay you $40k base with the “opportunity” to make “so much more” if you can sell grandmas of America a billion dollars with of sewing machines.

What the guy above me said 100%.
Also; the annual average for “sewing machine repairman” on zip recruiter is 37k. (Can’t believe I looked but I did)
That’s a bit south of, what I assume, to be the 130k you mentioned above. “Lower mid six figure job”.
My guess is that’s some sort of sales position and or tiered marketing company where you have “the possibility” to make 130K, but not the likelihood.
If you think it’s legit; find the 3 hours and knock it out. Personally I think you’re in for 3 hours of videos about how wonderful and lucrative multi level marketing sewing machine sales is.
But nothing surprises my anymore…..

I know what you are talking about
Sewing machine mechanics make decent money, those industrial machines take a lot of abuse.
My first Job out of school was at a bulk bag plant.
