As part of the assessment centre experience, you will have the opportunity to partake in an interview. This will last for 10 minutes, but remember a real employer interview can take up to an hour. This exercise will give you a snapshot of what to expect in a real interview and give you a head start on knowing some of the ‘typical’ questions you may be faced with.
This exercise requires you to look at the interview brief below, and choose a job description.
This exercise will allow you to practice demonstrating some of the behaviours and skills that are relevant when applying for roles. It is a collaborative task, but you will be assessed individually, much as you would be for a real employer group exercise.
You will not be given a brief in advance for this exercise.
Within the typical ‘live’ environment of an employer’s assessment centre, you may be asked to deliver a presentation that helps to showcase some of your key skills and behaviours. For this assessment centre experience, you need to prepare a presentation prior to the event. You will work individually in presenting to your assessor and a small group of your peers.
