I did mine on why material testing was important in product design because I could link it to quality (the role i applied for) and then also my a level coursework but my contractor said the main thing was to link it to the role somehow and apparently someone did ice skating so i mean i suppose you could do anything

Hi, I did my assessment centre and I have to say it went poorly☹️ I was way too nervous that I couldn't get any coherent sentences out. I even prepared so much in advance but ugh its frustrating.

it might have gone bette than you thought, they told me that they were understanding of any issues or nerves people had due to it being a lot of peoples first proper interview so they understand that things might not have gone perfectly so don't lose hope

i mean that was ten months ago but they rang me literally hours after the AC, some people it took a week. Think it depends on how many applicants and such they had for that course and if you had an early or late assessment centres
