      Workplace Design Manager Interview

      Jul 29, 2015
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Downham Market, England
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at JLR (Downham Market, England) in Jul 2015

      Interview

      Sent in my CV (As I have 7/8 years experience in the field and technical edit AutoCAD books) and was then asked to complete an online assessment. I was told it was a standard, general test but it was heavily biased towards Sales Directors. The test had nothing to do with workplace design and, having studied psychometric testing as part of my Master's Degree, can say this test was not general in any way, shape or form. I should say the problem is with Jaguar Land Rover's process not the agency - the recruitment agency (Which I am keeping as anonymous) is not at fault in any way. They were very helpful and understanding in facilitating a complaint enquiry to JLR and I have nothing but praise for them. JLR have hundreds of vacancies and I believe this is because they miss out on specialised talent due to the testing stage asking the wrong questions.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      The middle section of the test gave a small spread sheet of units sold by an number of companies (for a particular year) and a graph showing two sets of percentages for units sold in other years and was given 3 minutes to not only read this information but to then answer four complex questions on sales figures for various quarters. Nothing to do with my field or even general numeracy. These questions were more biased than the examples I was asked to complete as practice questions before each section of the assessment.
