Although this latter type of interview is thought by some to yield more reliable results than less structured interviews, others believe that the structured interview suppresses spontaneity and may not allow the interviewer to probe for additional job-relevant information that would be helpful in making the selection decision.
Employment Applications
Another common selection tool is the application form, which may or may not include the request for biographical information.
When one submits a résum&e acute; for a job, one is often also asked to fill out an application form. Although this is not universally done, application forms that gather job-related information can be quantified by assigning values to the various questions.
The resulting data can then be used in the same way a psychometric test is used to compare scores between applicants. For example, if the organization is hiring for a position that has a long learning curve, they may want to hire an applicant who has a track record for staying on the job for an extended period of time.

Examples of ability and aptitude tasks include typing tests that measure speed and accuracy or mechanical aptitude tests. A third type of test often used in career counseling and sometimes used in selection situations is interest inventories.

Personality tests allow the applicant to respond in a way that he or she thinks is required for the job rather than the way that he or she actually feels.

The loss of jobs arising from automation, urban disinvestment, capital flight, and changing population patterns was especially devastating for black workers—and the speakers at the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom emphasized the point. For example, Randolph denounced “profits geared to automation” that “destroy the jobs of millions of workers,” and called for measures to address unemployment, raise the minimum wage, and increase federal aid to education. People didn’t have enough money to eat food and afford family before the march.
