Job Interview Tests - Group Exercises
|
Group Exercises
These usually involve a group of candidates applying for the same job.
You're normally asked to complete a task together, with too little time.
It's designed to test how you perform under stress.
Do you support the group to achieve its objective?
Or do you turn into a lone crusader?
How to do well in a group exercise:
- Read the brief carefully
- If you've got questions, ask the others what they think
- You don't have to be the leader, but you must play an active role
- Make sure you encourage quiet members to share their opinions
- Don't lose track of time - or the exercise's goal

Be yourself. Don't assume you have to lead the group - especially at the expense of others. |

Assessment Centre
A fancy term for "a bundle of employment screening tests".
It might be a full day or include an overnight stay.
It's ok to ask the employer what you should expect on an assessment centre. Usually they're happy to tell you. |

TOP TIP |
| |
Be aware that you're being assessed the whole time - even during meal breaks. Make sure you're professional and friendly at all times. |
