I've talked to three candidates this week who had the opportunity to take some killer entry level tests. They didn't take these tests. When I asked why? They said, I don't want to work there, or that would require me to move and my wife won't go, or I'm waiting for the only department I want to work for now, or I only test in this region. Don't tell me how bad you want this job and then give me one of these stupid excuses.

I have several candidates who have gone out of state to take tests in preparation for the "City they really want". Guess what? They get offered jobs. How difficult would it be for you to turn a badge down? Guess where they live and work now? And, it's a lot easier to get a job once you have one. I know one candidate who went all the way to Wyoming to get his badge. Now he's testing back in his own State of Washington.

Understand the more tests you take, the better you will be at taking tests. Then, when the one you really want comes along, you're dialed up ready to nail that badge.
