Try On Jobs FAQs

  • When you watch the First Click Video for the very first time, Try On Jobs stores a very small piece of information in your browser called local storage.
    This information simply lets your browser remember that you’ve already watched the video so we don't show it again.

    If your browser blocks local storage or clears it automatically, then your device will not remember that the video was previously viewed. As a result, the First Click Video will play every time you click a job.

    Below are the most common causes and how to fix them based on browser and device type.

    1. Safari (macOS)

    Safari has a feature called BlockStoragePolicy, which prevents websites from saving information in local storage.

    If this policy is enabled, Safari will forget that you watched the video.

    How to fix (macOS Safari):

    1. Make sure “Prevent cross-site tracking” is turned off
      Safari → Preferences → Privacy → Prevent cross-site tracking
      (This setting can interfere with local storage for some applications.)
    2. Make sure cookies and website data are allowed.

    Advanced fix (developers only):

    Safari on macOS can also enforce BlockStoragePolicy. Disabling it requires a terminal command:

    defaults write com.apple.Safari BlockStoragePolicy -bool false

    ⚠️ Only use this on trusted sites. Disabling the policy may increase exposure to certain security risks (e.g., cross-site scripting).

    2. Safari (iPhone / iPad)

    iOS Safari aggressively blocks cross-site tracking and limits storage, especially in Private Browsing Mode.

    Common causes:

    • Private Mode is on
    • “Prevent Cross-Site Tracking” enabled
    • All cookies blocked
    • Safari automatically clearing site data

    How to fix (iOS Safari):

    1. Turn off Private Browsing
    2. Go to Settings → Safari
      • Turn off “Prevent Cross-Site Tracking”
      • Turn on “Block All Cookies” → Off
    3. Restart Safari and try again.

    3. Google Chrome (Windows / macOS / Android)

    Chrome normally allows local storage, but the following settings will block it:

    Common causes:

    • Incognito Mode
    • Cookies blocked
    • "Clear cookies and site data on exit" enabled
    • Third-party extensions clearing storage (privacy blockers, ad blockers)

    How to fix (Chrome):

    1. Do not use Incognito Mode
    2. Go to: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data
      • Ensure “Allow all cookies” or “Block third-party cookies” is selected
      • Make sure “Clear cookies and site data when you close all windows” is off
    3. Disable privacy/ad-blocking extensions temporarily and test again.

    4. Microsoft Edge (Windows / macOS)

    Edge uses Chrome’s engine, so the causes are similar.

    Common causes:

    • InPrivate Mode
    • Cookies blocked
    • Automatic clearing of site data
    • Tracking prevention set to “Strict”

    How to fix (Edge):

    1. Leave InPrivate Mode
    2. Go to: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies and site data
      • Turn off “Clear browsing data on close”
      • Ensure cookies are allowed
    3. Go to Privacy, search, and services
      • Set Tracking prevention to Balanced instead of Strict

    5. Firefox (Windows / macOS / Android)

    Firefox has aggressive privacy protections that can wipe or block local storage.

    Common causes:

    • Strict Enhanced Tracking Protection
    • Private Browsing mode
    • “Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed” enabled

    How to fix (Firefox):

    1. Do not use Private Browsing
    2. Go to: Settings → Privacy & Security
      • Under Enhanced Tracking Protection, choose Standard
      • Make sure Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed is unchecked

    6. Windows Devices (General Notes)

    On Windows, browser behavior is controlled entirely by the browser—not Windows.
    However, these system-level tools may clear storage:

    • CCleaner or similar cleanup utilities
    • Enterprise group policies (company-managed devices)

    If you are on a corporate laptop, your IT team may be auto-clearing storage.

    7. macOS System-Level Notes

    Safari’s BlockStoragePolicy is unique to Mac.
    Other browsers on macOS (Chrome, Edge, Firefox) do not use the policy and behave normally unless settings or extensions block storage.

    8. Android Devices

    Android browsers (Chrome, Samsung Internet, Firefox) typically allow local storage unless:

    • Incognito mode is enabled
    • Data saver mode is on
    • Cookies are blocked
    • A privacy app is clearing storage

    Summary

    If you repeatedly see the First Click Video, your browser is not remembering that you watched it.
    This happens when:

    • Cookies are blocked
    • Local storage is blocked
    • The browser is in private/incognito mode
    • The browser clears data automatically
    • A privacy extension or system tool deletes storage
    • (Safari only) BlockStoragePolicy is enforced

    Fixing the issue

    Allow your browser to store cookies/site data and avoid private browsing.
    After adjusting settings, reload the page and the video should stop repeating.

  • Great to see you again! Since you've completed the BestWork Experience, you're all set to explore Try On Jobs. To get started, simply create your Try On Jobs account at www.tryonjobs.com/create-account. Just remember to use the same email address you used for your BestWork account. Once you’re logged in, you can dive into exploring over 500 exciting job options. Have fun and enjoy the journey!

  • Applying for a job is a competition. You must not only be good…but you must look good to the recruiter. You cannot do that with a resumé.

    If your resumé happens to have the right key words in it, it will not be automatically screened out with no one reading it.

    If the recruiter does see it, the average time spent is 6 seconds.  If something does catch their attention, they may spend as much as a minute and a half reading it.

    Unfortunately even then, recruiters believe that 80% of what is in the resumé is false or exaggerated.

    The Try On Jobs Attachment describes how you will perform the job. It describes your strengths that work well for that job. It points out areas where you need training or support. The Try On Jobs Resumé Attachment is based on accurate and reliable DATA. The recruiter can trust that information and this makes you a clear choice for the job.

  • When clicking on a video you might see the message "Processing Video, please wait and try again later". This is a message from the video hosting service and relates to how they share the video with your browser. If you see this message, please continue to review other jobs and come back in a short period to view the video.

  • That is Toj who has been invaluable in helping us build Try On Jobs. Toj has many interests and a wild assortment of talents, like most of the visitors to Try On Jobs.

  • It is only in English at this time. We plan on having French and Spanish next year.

  • Many schools are using interest surveys that are decades old or simplistic personality surveys put into online programs. The average college student changes majors 3 times. That is an indication of how well the old models work. BestWork is the state of the art in psychometric instruments and produces DATA that can provide practical guidance for you. The real value is for you to judge.

  • You are welcome to visit whenever you want. Remember that your strengths and abilities that were measured here do not really change. As you pursue different directions in your career, Try On Jobs is always here to help.

  • Every job has certain strengths or cognitive abilities that are necessary in order to be successful in that job. If an individual does not have those particular strengths or abilities, Discovery removes it, so that the person can focus on those jobs that offer them more promising opportunities.

  • All people have what is called general reasoning or fluid intelligence. The concept of “smart” and “not smart” is WRONG. All people are smart in different ways.  This is more meaningful than IQ scores, school grade point averages, SAT/ACT scores or simple intelligence tests. Some people learn quickly and others learn slowly, but everyone can learn. Those that learn quickly often have trouble explaining their thinking to others. They get bored if a job is repetitious in some way. Many professors in college learn slowly but they have mastered a set of knowledge, and they are able to teach the same thing to many classes year after year. Some jobs require fast thinking and problem solving. Other jobs depend upon following a routine to produce quality service or products. There is no “better” score. Fast information processing is good in one job, but works poorly in another one. Slower processing is perfect for many highly technical jobs, where faster processing would be a disaster.
