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 description below before your assessment centre. Please choose one of the job descriptions below and the assessor will base your interview on this.
Presentation
You will present a 5-minute presentation, via video conference to the assessor and a small group of your peers. On the day of the assessment centre, you will have a choice of topics and will be given 30 minutes to prepare this. The assessor will also ask you questions based on the content of your presentation.
All materials for your presentation exercise will be provided to you on the day of the digital assessment centre. No pre-work is required for this exercise.
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.
