Plant Operations Pre-testing

Qualification for the appropriate pre-employment test(s) is required for consideration for most non-management skilled and technical jobs at Reliant Energy. The pre-employment tests were developed through extensive research and recognized validation standards. Standardized pre-employment tests help us evaluate individuals interested in working for our company in a fair, consistent and efficient manner.

Instead of Tables and Graphs, it contains a component called Visual Pursuit. In the Visual Pursuit component you will be asked to trace a line from its beginning to its end point.
• The version of the POSS test you will take contains only the short form (7-minute time limit) of the mathematical usage component. The long version of the mathematical component is not included in your test.
