LOCATION:Global Knowledge :: 2nd floor - 838 Fort Street Victoria, 
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:The best results come from using the right tool for the job, at the right time. This rule applies many fields – e.g. carpentry, plumbing, etc. – and HR assessments to profile one’s personality, competencies and learning styles. In fact, so many instruments are available today, it’s not difficult to become confused among them. If we mis-read the situation, it’s easy to choose a less than effective tool. This session presents a high-level view of the major assessments, the optimal circumstances in which to use each one, and the nature of the results they offer. Participants will take away a practical job-aid to guide their decision-making.=0D=0A=
