Assessment centres

An assessment centre is a comprehensive evaluation process that includes various exercises to assess your suitability for a role and compatibility with a company's culture. These exercises often include:

Group Discussion: You'll collaborate with other candidates to discuss a given topic or solve a problem. This assesses your teamwork and communication skills.

Role Play: You'll engage in a simulated work scenario, like a client meeting or handling customer complaints. This reveals how you might perform in real work situations, so maintain professionalism.

In-Tray Exercise: This exercise involves completing job-related tasks, such as responding to emails, compiling reports, or formatting documents. It demonstrates your attention to detail, time management, and prioritization abilities.

Individual Interview: You might have a one-on-one interview, often conducted by a panel, with a focus on competency-based questions to assess your qualifications and skills for the role.
