ELMHURST, IL—Perplexed with the lack of testing in jobs and careers, employees are initiating discussions with employers on the issue of testing in the workplace.

One newly employed engineer, Anna Kesler, came forward on her side of the issue. “I was simply shocked”, Kesler said. “When I realized that I would have to be prepared to create new solutions to problems, rather than just choose A, B, C, or D.” She added that this creative approach seems unnecessary and that testing is so much easier. “Really, it’s all I know how to do,” Kesler concluded.

It seems that students are having a hard time transitioning from test-heavy schools to their careers where, to their dismay, there is no testing.

On the other hand, Robert Brown, a cashier at a local 7-Eleven location, has survived one of these tough transitions from school to the workforce. “I have a difficult time cooking hot dogs and pizza at work,” Brown said. “Maybe if I had to take a test on cooking hot dogs at my job, I could be stressed enough to do it!”

Many employees are having similar experiences as Brown. Recent polls reveal that 90 percent of recent graduates agree that they don’t know how to function without tests and 70 percent believe that more testing is probably the only way to solve their problems.

Employers are beginning to consider the idea of testing in the workplace. Alvaro Watson, Emergency Room Manager at Elmhurst Hospital, is one employer in favor of such testing. Though Watson originally opposed testing in the workplace due to a lack of benefits in a school setting, he realized that there are endless benefits to testing.

“With testing, we can ensure that our workers are properly prepared to do their jobs. Employees need to refine the testing skills they’ve acquired after their bountiful years of testing in elementary, middle, and high school; Testing is a lifelong skill.”

One problem with testing in the workplace, though, is that it takes lots of time to implement and take the exams. Many professionals believe this means that employees would have to work extra hours in order to take tests.

Watson dismissed these issues of time, saying, “I speak for all employers and employees when I say that I know employees have nothing better to do than to take these important tests”.

Shirley Amber, a nurse in the Watson’s ER facility, agrees that employees should spend extra time at work to test. She deeply believes that testing sets a good example.

“I have two young sons at home, and I am eager to spend more time at work in order to test,” Amber said. “I’d be showing my children that getting good test scores is the only factor in becoming successful in the real world.”

No movements towards implementing testing in the workplace have occurred yet, but these discussions promise a bright multiple choice future for all workers in the United States.
