Choose the Right Preparation for You
Depending on the job you apply for, you may be asked to complete an employment test or assessment. To help you succeed, we offer a variety of tools and ways to practice. The type of practice depends on the role you applied for.
EEI Test Preparation
We offer a variety of tools developed in partnership with Edison Electric Institute (EEI), including test tips and practice tests. Additionally, you can use an interactive resource called Skillbuilders to get a realistic view of the work performed in electric energy jobs.
Example Roles: Plant Technician, Dispatcher, Equipment Operator, Instrument and Controls Technician
HireVue Assessment Preparation
This pre-employment assessment evaluates how well a person is likely to perform in a particular job. It lets us get to know you better and provides all applicants a consistent experience.
Example Roles: Lineworker, Meter Servicer, Building Maintenance Technician
How It Works
After you apply for a job that requires an assessment, you will receive an email invitation with a link to the assessment that expires 72 hours after it is sent. You need to complete the assessment within that period. You will not be able to access it after it has expired, and if you haven’t finished, you won't be considered for the position.
After you submit your assessment, our talent acquisition team will reach out regarding next steps. You can also visit your Workday candidate profile for status updates.
