Self Marketing: Assessment Centres

If you are invited to attend an assessment centre you will have made it through to the final stages of the recruitment process. Many large graduate employers use assessment centres to select their applicants.

The employer will watch you undertake a range of activities and also see how you interact with other applicants. Usually these events last one day, although some may last for longer.

Try the sample in-tray exercise from the Careers Service at The University of Edinburgh.and Civil service example e-tray exercise.
