Some of these assessment centres are so long, it's ridiculous! That's almost a full day of work 😐 It really just puts some applicants at such a disadvantage...- Andrew M

I was asked what my friends would say about me. One of my points was that I'm someone who will talk very passionate about and in depth about things I'm interested in. Such as Britney Spears and RuPaul. 🙃- Andrew M

I really like that. It's just a shame that they don't have an office in Liverpool or Manchester because I've always really enjoyed my experiences with the firm!- Andrew M

I agree. I do also think that the lack of notice was pretty poor. I'm sorry but you need to give at least a week, or provide multiple options.- Andrew M

I completed mine on Monday for Manchester and haven't had a response yet. But I know two others who completed it the same day and were invited to an AC (next Tuesday) a couple of days after submitting.- Andrew M

Hey, don't be so hard on yourself. That certainly qualifies as life experience. Just in this short paragraph alone you've shown resilience, motivation and resourcefulness. And the soft skills you gained in a supermarket will still be useful in applications and interviews.- Andrew M

I would be thinking about the firm's sectors and practice areas, and then look at where there would be a market or need for one (whether that be an international location or nationally). Or you could perhaps go down the route of discussing a tech hub outside of the city, where overheads are...- Andrew M

I'm sure you did great! I find it's good to be grilled - usually it means that they see something in you worth pushing you for.- Andrew M

DWF VI
Yeah, mine was... not good. I really didn't like how the practice questions were 30 seconds and then the real ones were 2 minutes. I was taking too long in the practice questions and so ended up rushing in the real ones, then realising I had loads of time left and talking absolute waffle. Good...- Andrew M
