I have frequently found this to be the case for BESB and NFB job postings, including the confusing and unfriendly test process for any job. The last time I attempted to post for an It job that I believed to be qualified for, I found the associated test to be unavailable for at least 6 months. This test should have been available if the associated job posting was open, which it was. This begs the obvious question of how do I take the correct tests for jobs I would like, when they are never scheduled in alignment with the job it requires the same test?
