If you don’t mine when is it? At my AC earlier, they didn’t mention anymore dates so I think they added one more!

It’s the 20th of feb - I was just invited again too - this is after not going to their original AC did you hear back post the AC?
Latham AC offer! Anybody who knows what to expect please PM me haha
Likewise, I had to turn down my original AC due to conflicting dates. Very surprised they offered me an alternative!
Hi everyone, how do you get over a nightmarish AC? I have absolutely failed my AC today, and I’ve been quite upset about it as they were one of my favourite firms. I have another AC on Friday for another firm, and I’m finding it hard to not drop out as this one went so disastrously :'(
maybe its a day for the people who could not make the original dates hahaha
AMAZING! Happy for you. Did you receive a call or email? Also, when did you interview?
You never know how it will go. Your past AC performance isn't known by the next firm. I had an awful interview for a TC at one firm and then got offered a VS at a firm I interviewed at not long after. Past performance isn't indicative of future results
Thank you for this. I guess I just need to do my best to learn from it (quickly!).
Hi there!
First off, sorry to hear about your AC. It takes a lot of work to get this far and it hurts when it doesn't work out the way you want it to
But also remember you're not the first to have had a bad assessment centre experience.
In this cycle, I was fortunate enough to get an AC for one of my favourite target firms, but when it came to the case study / presentation stage - I completely froze. The material was so different to what I expected, the questions so specific and relentless I had to do the old 'could you repeat the question' and 'I don't have an answer at this time' with my presentation lasting 5 out of 15 allotted minutes. Pretty mortifying. PFO followed soon after.
However, I've since gotten offers from other firms by integrating what went wrong during that AC. In my case, I requested feedback from the firm's HR, strengthened my own problem areas (i.e. commercial know-how) and practised competency style questions. With this in mind, I'd really encourage you to go for your next AC. Remember you just need one VS to fall right for you not ten and that different modes of assessment can suit you better.
So keep your spirits up, know that all of us have bad days and go knock your next AC out of the park!
Thank you for this - you’re right! I guess I’m just worried that they’ll all go badly wrong, but as you said all processes are slightly different ☺️Hi there!
