Careers in Aerospace - Self Assessment Tests you might have to take

Are You Interested In Working In The Aerospace Industry? Time to Assess Yourself!
Aptitude testing is now a regular feature in recruitment for all kinds of roles but in aerospace, particularly for roles which attract a high number of applicants and/or require a complex set of skills and competences, such as spatial awareness combined with communication skills and roles such as aircraft apprenticeships and graduate engineering schemes.
In association with online psychometric testing specialists cut-e, Careers in Aerospace have launched a new self assessment portal. The portal allows those interested in a career in the aerospace industry to assess themselves against some of the key aptitudes competencies sought by employers.
You can try out assessments, receive e-mails and ask related questions. Assessment are available for Apprentices (Aircraft engineering & Maintenance), Graduates (Engineering) and Pilots.
Participants will benefit from exposure to examples of the types of tests they might be required to take during the recruitment process for the top aviation and aeronautical companies. Practice makes perfect so have a go and see where your strengths lie and where you may need to improve. And - scroll down for details of our competition for those who use the tests between 2 June and 25 June 2012!
