Because the job market is so difficult to break into, a number of individuals feel they will try almost anything in hopes of securing employment. However, one thing potential recruits should avoid is being dishonest during the hiring process, as it will work against their favor.

As more companies are choosing to give personality tests in order to see if an applicant is a good fit for the job, it's important that individuals tell the truth on the exam, according to the Sun Sentinel.

While these tests can be beneficial to employers who are looking to put out their feelers, some hiring consultants tell the news provider that it is not a good idea to solely rely on the exam when making decisions.

Still, the tests can be helpful in terms of trying to determine one's personality, and whether or not they could be a good fit for the position vacancy.

Fast Company, which is a magazine and newsletter related to the business and technology world, reports that more companies are choosing to utilize personality tests in order to serve as a backup after the interview.
