Question

When you are apply for a job and you have to take survey does that count on being hired or not ?

Answer 1

I recently had an interview at a top-notch hospital in the area and had to do the online survey.  During the interview, they went back to some of my responses on the 'survey' and asked for a more indepth answer.. so they have a great deal of weight in the selection process...

Answer 2

Not necessarily. Sometimes the surveys aren't even given by the company who's hiring, it's an outside company and when they get the results from the survey your name is not usually on them.
