EXCELLING AT INTERVIEWS

Tips on how to shine at assessment centres 1. Be professional Arrive on time and look the part. Be friendly but also polite. You should also aim to initiate conversations with other candidates.

2. Participate Do not just stand by the sidelines. Show enthusiasm in every task. Group exercises are designed to see how well you work with others, so make sure you take part.

3. Do not lose concentration The day is likely to be long and tiring, so have a good night’s rest beforehand as you will need to stay alert and engaged throughout the day.

4. Be the best version of you Just be yourself! But be the most positive version of yourself. If you tend not to speak up, make an effort to articulate your thoughts. If you know you can sometimes be overbearing, let others have their say too and be careful not to interrupt.
