Addleshaw Goddard Assessment Centre

Well, I have searched the internet for ages now and I can barely find any information on what the Addleshaw Goddard Assessment Centres are like.

Has anyone been to one? If so, what was it like? What sort of questions did you get asked in the interview?

Any help would be much appreciated! :smile:

Thanks!

I've got one too next week. They say on the email that it's an interview, group exercise and instruction task. I'm sure you can guess the type of questions they're gonna ask and just go with the flow on the other 2 :smile:

Yeah I know the generic questions, I just wondered if they were any tricky/out of the ordinary questions people had been asked that I could prepare for :smile:

Is yours in Leeds by any chance?

Just thought i'd copy this off rollonfriday for you:

randomer

the interview is a standard one with commercial questions so be up to date with current affairs

the group exercise - you are with about 5 others and get given a bit of text and some statistics which were quite clear.
we had to then discuss whether our company should move abroad or not. they may have changed the task since then but thats what i had to do.

for the instruction taking- you get given a pack of stuff to read and then go into a room with just you and 2 partners and they question you on the facts and what you would do.

I had one for a vac scheme ages ago. Interview and group exercise are both pretty standard stuff, as above. For the instruction-taking exercise, my advice is to avoid just regurgitating the information you've memorised - the partners are looking for you to draw inferences from it and talk about how the information influences the advice you'd give to the client. Put the client scenario first and work the information into that, rather than the other way round. I was criticised for focusing too much on the details of the information and not enough on how it affected the client.

Seems obvious - but when you've just crammed a whole load of information, it's tempting just to spew it out again!
