Assessment Centre Advice
This section is dedicated to Assessment Centres
It offers helpful advice, hints and tips on what to expect, how to prepare yourself and how to stand out from the rest.
Assessment Centres can be daunting, particularly if you have not attended one before. However, most are well managed, interactive and great fun. Assessment Centres can be in person or virtual, they can be individual or group sessions. Most assessments consist of sales presentations, individual exercises, team exercises, testing and ‘on the job’ exercises.
This content covers off the basics such as dress code and preparation as well as more complex areas such as the types of exercises that you will be undertaking.
We cover psychometrics, how and why they are used, together with tips on how to perform best in both personality questionnaires and psychometric aptitude test.
