    I hope this is in the correct place. I have an aptitude test next week for pfizer and am just wonderung if anyine has been throught this before. It will be on numerical and rules, I hope that someone can let me know what will be involved as I reilly want to get this job. This is the first test that I will have done in a long long time. Any help with this will be great.

    Have you ever done an aptitude test before? I can't advise on what Pfizer's style is but if you have never done an aptitude test, it's not something you can really prepare for imo as the purpose of such tests is to guage your natural intelligence, analysis and numerical skills as well as time keeping.

    This is quite different to a test where you can learn everthing off by heart the night before, score 100% and then completely forget everything you learned by the end of that day which I believe is not a true barometer for testing someone's abilities (and which is why I like aptitude tests)

    Best of luck!

    Pfizer aptitude tests are usually hard.
    Theres a calculations one, one for checking for discrepencies. When i did mine i also had 2 interviews and 2 role play scenarios to do the same time as the aptitude test.
    Good Luck

    Thanks for your replys, Yes I have done aptitude test before and found the numerical one ok but wa just looking for some examples for pfizer ones as I did here they are quite hard. Snoopy1 do you have any examples of what you got both in the numerical one and the other one. All I know is that I will have two aptitude test one on numerical and one on something else. any help with this would be great.

    a load of people took redundancy a couple of months ago.
    I'm just suprised they're hiring again


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,880 ✭✭✭Macker1


    The redundancies at that time were specific to certain roles / levels within the operation. The Pfizer facility is quite busy and hopefully will continue in that direction. You would find that at technician level the resources are becoming stretched and if the right calibre of person is available job postings will happen.

    You need to be able to look for errors e.g things rounded up wrong, wrong decimal places.
    If you get an interview, gmp is your friend

    I just did one there for a major company and I'm pretty sure I came out as thick as two short planks.

    So much for my years of experience - all based on 12 mins with a migrane headache.

    Won't even get an interview now - infuriating and I feel totally stupid.

    Never applying for a big corporate again.

    Have you tried applying for management position?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 456 ✭✭NotCominBack


    Ahh ye see, there's ur problem, ur not thick, just slow - ye need practice

    For those people wanting to work for Pfizer, you need to be prepared for 12 hour shifts. This is days, nights, weekends, Christmas day etc.
    Also for the women no make up or jewerelly

    Lots of fresh faced people start work then realise they cant hack the shifts and the effect on their social life.
