For this reason, it seems strange that employers still use personality tests to gauge the effectiveness of potential employees. A better method that has gained popularity lately is the audition method.

This may mean replacing a traveling representative, moving that representative to the home office or entering that individual in an intensive training program. Although culture shock can be a major problem, I believe that much of it can be overcome if a manager or employee has a supportive group of people that he or she can rely on for help.
