Interviews and Assessments

 

Interviews

Ultimately, a job interview is a positive opportunity for any person to get across their suitability and enthusiasm for a particular vacancy. So why do so many people dread them? It is very natural to view job interviews as a daunting prospect when so much can be at stake. However, with the right attitude and preparation, an interview can be a positive experience for all concerned - and result in a job offer! Make sure to use the advisory service to prepare for the most likely interview questions and practise your interview technique in a safe environment.

Assessment Centres

Assessments may consist of aptitude tests, psychometric questionnaires, group tasks, business case studies, presentations, in-tray exercises or a combination of these measures and more. When a candidate is invited to participate in a range of assessments such as these, (often on company premises and including a site visit and/or social event), it is known as an “Assessment Centre”.
