Still 25% in the mix...
And at least 2 dozen DTC's still open

Hello, does anyone have any advice for the assessment centre group interview task on how to prepare? I am terrified of someone asking me to talk more
These are really fun so long as the topic is interesting...
Bounce ideas of your colleagues, form an opinion and don't be afraid to change your mind if a better option is presented... You must speak or how will they be able to assess you? See it as working together rather than being in competition with one another, as ultimately their testing your team working skills...

Hi @Bread and @pcarey I saw you guys liked the burges salmon post AC question, just wondering when you heard back and if you could share if it was positive or negative news as I am still waiting and am trying to figure out my chances. Thanks
Hi! I received positive news on Friday (28th). I think they said in an email that everyone should hear back by the 5th/6th regarding the AC application.
