Many companies are now using Assessment Centres as part of the interview process to help identify suitable candidates. This extended selection process usually lasts one or two days but may last longer. Assessment Centres are often used as an initial selection process and are considered by many organisations to be the fairest and most accurate method of selecting staff. How to pass an assessment centre by Karen Mannering is a highly informative and educational book that will teach prospective candidates how to pass this penultimate stage of any selection process.

Assessment centres typically include a number of elements:

  • Social/informal events which offer an opportunity to meet other candidates, the selectors and the company management. Remember although they may appear informal these events are part of the selection process.
  • Information sessions provide up to date information about the company and the roles available.
  • Tests and exercises which are intended to measure your abilities against a set of competencies and reveal your potential. These are likely to include:
  • Psychometric and aptitude tests designed to measure your intellectual capacity for thinking and reasoning, particularly your logical/analytical ability. Many organisations use these tests at an early stage in the selection process.
  • Personality inventories designed to assess your personality and how you might react in different situations.
  • Case studies where you are given a set of papers relating to a particular situation and asked to make recommendations in a brief report. The aim is to assess your ability to analyse information, to think clearly and logically, to exercise your judgement and to express yourself on paper.
  • In-tray exercises to test your organizational skills and ability to prioritise.
  • Giving a short presentation, usually produced on the day.
  • Group activities including practical tasks to see how a group interacts and group discussion or role-playing exercises to assess your communication skills.

You may also have a one-to-one or panel interview as part of the selection process at an Assessment Centre. If the Assessment Centre exercise takes place in the later stages of the process the interviews are likely to be more in-depth and probe any weaknesses identified at an earlier stage.

It is important to remember that an interview is a two-way process – it is not just about a company deciding whether to employ you, but also for you to decide whether you want to work for them. Preparation and practice are the key elements to a successful interview technique.

PREPARING FOR AN ASSESSMENT CENTRE

How2Become Psychometric Testing Tip 1

TOP TIP 1

Do not be afraid to ask what format the interview will take. Make sure you know where and when it is and how to get there.

TOP TIP 2

Make sure you know the Job Description, Person Specification and the information you supplied on your application form inside out, as this will form the basis for most of the interview questions. Be prepared to expand on the information you submitted with your application. If this is your first job, you may not be able to provide examples of work experience but you may be able to refer to your educational career or other activities to support your answers.

TOP TIP 3

If this is your first job after leaving university, make sure you have reminded yourself of any projects or major pieces of work that you undertook during your degree course. It is likely that you will be asked to explain what you did and what the results were.

TOP TIP 4

It is always a good idea to find out about the company or organisation before the interview. You may have been supplied with information as part of the application pack. If not, you may be able to find out about your prospective employer from the internet, your local library or you may know someone who currently works for them. There is probably no need to go into great detail but a good understanding of their aims, products (if they are a manufacturer), customers etc. may all prove useful.

TOP TIP 5

Be prepared to answer questions on current affairs especially if the company or organisation has been in the news recently. Many interviews will include questions on things going on in the world at large to determine how aware you are of events beyond your chosen field.

TOP TIP 6

Write down any questions you may have about the post, the company etc and take them with you to the interview. Find out if you will need to bring any documents with you to the interview if it does not state this in the application pack. If you have been offered an interview on the strength of a letter rather than a specific vacancy it is worth contacting the company before hand to find out if you need to take any information with you.

This is a really good book. Even gives clear understanding of how answers are given.

I found this book a very useful tool to prepare for psychometric tests especially for someone who never had to do one.

Used when applying to join the Navy my son passed first time only dropping a couple of points off top grade well worth it to boost confidence for application nerves.

This item is well worth the money you pay for it, in my opinion. I’m considering a range of career options within The Criminal Justice System (UK) at the moment, and the tests within these books are good generic preparation for the recruitment process of all my potential career paths. Doing brain exercises is a good thing in itself anyway; I’ve noticed that I feel more confident in myself and in my chances of success now, and my cognitive capacities are definitely improving a lot too.
