How to do your best on a job test
For Elizabeth Kolmstetter, Ph.D., the challenge of hiring and training 50,000 qualified airport security screeners was an important one. The outcome of that challenge could well mean the difference between life and death. Hired in January 2002 by the Transportation Security Administration, she was given just nine months to get the job done.
As a psychologist and expert in testing, Kolmstetter knew she wouldn’t have to rely on chance in selecting the people who would help make travelers feel safe again. She and her team determined what knowledge and abilities the screeners needed in order to do their jobs well. Then they gave the applicants a series of tests. After 340,000 people were tested, all of the positions were filled.
