When it comes to applying for jobs, the traditional ways still exist which is to file an application with the company, send in your resume, cover letter, and hope that they will call you in for an interview. It is a rather straightforward process, lengthy in some cases, but for Uber, the company is looking to try out a new method.This new method comes in the form of UberDRIVE. This is a game developed for mobile devices that basically tests the user’s ability to navigate their way around town. Getting your riders from point A to point B will net you a score and those scores will be based on relying on the fastest routes.
Now this sounds like it could be a fun game in its own right, but Uber wants to use this game to help them identify any potential drivers that could work for them in the future. According to the company, “UberDRIVE was designed as a fun and engaging resource for our driver-partners to hone their navigation skills if they choose to.”
They add, “It’s also a great way for prospective drivers to experience firsthand what it’s like to drive with Uber –– there are links to sign up and start the screening process from directly within the game.” So if you think you have what it takes to drive for Uber, perhaps this is an app worth checking out.
