Hi guys
I went to the assessment centre in Swindon for the retail selling scheme yesterday.
For those of you going to the Swindon centre it is round the corner from the store next to Wallis, there is an alcove with an intercom there. If you can't find it then go into store and the staff there will give you directions.
As for the day itself;
We started off with a quick briefing, meeting our assessor's etc.
Then we had a group discussion, it's basically like 2 problem questions.
Secondly you will be split into two and either you will do your roleplay first or your analysis and presentation. I did the roleplay.
The roleplay is quite straightforward
The analysis gives you an hour to read some information and then 15 minutes to present your findings.
Then lastly you have your one-on-one interview.
We started at 9:30 and I went in last for the interview but was still done by 4:30 but most of the others got out by 4.
There isn't much you can do to prepare, just be yourself!
Good luck all
