Note: Good to know is that at the end of the call appointment, the Yobbers recruiter may also ask you to take some tests. These tests are sometimes required by the employer and must be passed before the job interview takes place. The tests usually consist of a language test and a written skills test. It's important to complete these tests within the given time to be able to proceed with your application. If you have any questions, you can always contact the recruiter you have been in touch with.
