Material Detail

Welcome to your e-book about Assessment Centres, or Selection Centres, as they are sometimes called, which are often used by organisations to recruit new employees. Research has shown employers that using an interview alone is not the most reliable way to make the best hiring decisions. More and more, they are using additional tools such as ability tests and personality profiles, job related exercises with group interaction, presentation-making and so on, to ensure that they have a fully rounded view of a potential new recruit.

An Assessment Centre might last a couple of hours or stretch to a couple of days. If you have not attended one before, you are going to need advice on what to expect and how to be as successful as possible. Equally you might be looking to improve on previous Assessment Centre performance or update your knowledge and skills in this area.

In the pages ahead you will learn what a recruiter is looking for at an Assessment Centre, and what type of skills and competencies they might be assessing you against. You will gain up to date tips for preparing effectively for the tests and exercises typically used in an Assessment Centre.

Interview advice is also included to enable you to successfully anticipate challenging questions, carry out company research and develop your confidence in these situations.

Finally you will gain information about appropriate body language, what to wear, and how to come across as positively and professionally as possible to a future potential employer.

The goal of this e-book is to build your confidence and help you to be as successful as possible at Assessment Centres. Good luck!
