What is the Cake Personality Test?
The Cake Personality Test was created by the CakeResume team to help job seekers better understand the roles and careers they could really thrive in. Originally posted on CakeResume’s website, the “What Cake R U?” quiz guides users through a short, quest-like adventure as they figure out what type of employee/worker they are.
