Your Assessment Centre Experience
The information below will help you to prepare for your assessment centre. As part of this event, you will complete the three exercises listed below where you will receive detailed and personalised written feedback from experienced graduate recruiters.
Interview
You will take part in a 1:1 interview, via video conference which will last 10 minutes. This will give you an insight into the types of questions that an employer will ask. Review the job descriptions below before your assessment centre. The assessor will base your interview on the job description you have chosen.
Presentation
You will present a 5-minute pre-prepared presentation via video conference to the assessor and a group of your peers. The assessor will ask you questions lasting up to 5 minutes. You can use PowerPoint to support your presentation. The assessor will invite you to share your screen when it is your turn to present. Please download your presentation ready to the desktop of the device you will be using during the assessment centre.
The topics for your presentation are within the presentation candidate brief below. Please prepare your presentation in advance of the assessment centre.
Group Exercise
The group exercise is a collaborative task where you will work together as a group on a time-sensitive task. You will be presented with a scenario that requires you to make decisions and contribute your suggestions. As a group, you will review, discuss, and agree on what actions to take. You will then share these actions with the assessor, along with a brief explanation of your rationale.
All materials for your group exercise will be provided to you on the day of the digital assessment centre. No pre-work is required for this exercise.
