    In an increasingly competitive employment market, obtaining the best career advice and knowing the right skills and strengths to highlight is more important than ever when getting your dream job.

    Just when you think technology has reached it’s peak, the global leader in talent management solutions, SHL, have launched the iPQ Career Planner - an intelligence test designed for use on iPhones and iPads.

    The iPQ is a compact version of SHL’s world renowned Occupational Personality Questionnaire and is available for download at just 59p per report. The test takes just 20 minutes before identifying the most suitable career for you and summarizing your key skills and strengths.
