Number 2 son (17 year old) is trying to get an evening/weekend job at the local Tesco’s – shelf stacking, etc. to earn money for driving lessons.
However, for any job at Tesco, he has to fill in a full application form including a questionnaire titled “More about you”
This is a page of 16 multiple choice questions. I’ll list the first 4 to give you an idea:
1 I am the sort of person who........
a gives support to other people
b negotiates with others
c is able to problem solve
d speaks clearly
2 I am the sort of person who.......
a Talks open and honestly with other people
b asks relevant questions
c talks clearly to others
d is interested in the company being successful
3 I am the sort of person who......
a is a good team builder
b is able to encourage others
c gets good results
d can be relied on by others
4 I am the sort of person who.......
a works hard to meet others needs
b maintains very high standards of work
c keeps my commitments to others
d learns new things quickly
Now, here is the difficult bit. For each question he is required to give 2 answers – “least often” and “most often”
It wouldn’t be too difficult to pick a “most often” answer to each question but the “least often” answer has got us stumped.
Does anyone have experience of these type of application forms and what sort of “least often” answers are they looking for?
