8:45 it's 2024 so we can say HR person as opposed to HR lady depending on how the culture rolls :-D more points for you means more points for me too, yay
Hello! I would suggest finding a school that teaches in small groups, and which has an afternoon program of activities because the spontaneous use of the language in various scenarios is what helps the new language stick much better. Have fun in Germany! :)
Hi thank you for this great video it is very useful. I have a virtual assessment centre for an investment management role and I have no idea how the group project is going to be like online. Could you please share some more details about virtual assessment centres?
These are some great tips and thank you for making this video to benefit anyone who is getting prepared for group exercises. I suppose a lot of the skills can only be learnt through actual experience. The tips are really helpful for preparing a right and balanced mindset before setting foot into the group exercise assessment. Good luck to everyone here!
I sincerely want to thank God for the opportunity to come across your video during my prep for an assessment. Your caption for the video was quite inspiring, and the content therein was amazing. I was made an offer, I could not but say thank you. You're a true star.
Hi Anita, i am goin g to have group interview for prison officer position , and i donot know how its gonna be like , i have zero experience in group interviewing.
Thanks Anita! I have whatched several AC videos (spanish/english). You went directly to the tips and examples! Thanks for shared! I will have an AC this comming fridy so you arrived on time for my preparation to face this challenge. Thanks one more time :)
Came back on here to offer my thanks to you for making this video. I had an upcoming assessment centre and I took the most notes from your video and used them in the group assessment centre. I received feedback that my group assessment performance was the best in the group and it was the decisive factor that got me the job. Massive thanks to you, I appreciate you!
I'm so glad to hear this, amazing! Congrats!!! And thank you so much for coming back to leave this kind comment. It made me smile. :) Good luck with the job!
Show your energy and dedication to the topic, keep eye contact with the assessors, talk in a structured way and smile! I would recommend agreeing with the other candidates in advance who is covering what in the presentation and sticking to it (but in case someone forgets an important point you can add it in at the end of their section in a respectful way). I hope this helps. ;)
Dear Anita, This video is very informative for the understanding Assessment Centre Group Exercise tricks. Thank you very much!! =) I have some additional questions about the Assessment Centre exercises. Is there any way to reach & ask you directly?
Dear Anita. I think you should prepare new videos for other parts of AC =) Your style of telling the AC tricks is strongly needed =) Thanks a lot!! @@anitamore4101
@anitamore4101 it went well. I answered the scenario based questions while also bringing in other people into the discussion. I also showed great leadership as when we were put in pairs, I established a number system so that we can have order in terms of who goes next etc, that probably got me bonus marks 😊. Thank you so much for this video
the part im more concerned about “takin the initiative” is that im not that kinda person that takes the lead of the convo or in general aim to be the leader… im just not. its kinda weird thinkin about a group of ppl where everyone is tryin to become the leader… like akward weird.
You can always take the initiative in your own way, for example by making sure that everyone is on the same page, that the conversation is not drifting away from the main/most important points, and that all alternatives are being taken into consideration. You are right that everyone striving to be a leader in one conversation would be awkward but think about it as simply making meaningful contributions to the conversation. It shows that you are able to step in when needed and offer value which in turn suggests that you would be able to push a project forward or even take the lead if necessary. :)
Thank you for your comment. :) As for individual case studies, it's important to talk the interviewers through your thought process as you work through the problem (sometimes your final answer might not be 100% correct but at least they will see that you can think and analyse the problem), ask clarifying questions whenever you have any, communicate to the assessors whenever you make any assumptions to the case scenario, and also be very honest in case you need an extra hint in order to proceed. There is so much value in being self-aware and able to ask for help when needed! I hope this quick answer helps. I might make a whole video on this topic, I think it would be quite useful. :)
Hello! I would say try to learn some phrases such as "I see your point and I appreciate your contribution. What I would suggest is..." or "This is a complex scenario and in my view it would be best to start with the basics. Let's...". In this way you will show confidence and you will be able to "warm up" to then smoothly move on to making your point. Those are some quick fixes but I would also encourage you to practise your English every day to improve your skills and give you more confidence for the assessment centres and future jobs. Good luck! :)
I have an AC in one month and a half, and out of all the videos I saw online on how to prepare for them, this is by far the best of them! Also the way you speak makes the information super digestible. I´m super happy for having found this video on time!
Thank you for this. My favourite one I've seen. What I appreciate the most is you give examples of how to verbalise each interaction. You've also come up with genuinely original ideas rather than stating the obvious!
@@Faesunset Sorry to hear but don't give up! I failed my first couple of assessment centres, too. With the experience you've gained you will do better next time. :)
@@anitamore4101 yeah, exactly, I actually didnt do the things I should do and I wasnt even myself at all. That was a great experience, Im sure I would have ace the assessment if I had a second assessment day after my first one, because I realized all the do’s and donts after the first one 😭 thank you for this great video, if I had done the things you suggest I would probably pass the assesment but I just couldnt because I was too excited haha
@@Zainphotography you can find case studies online and I suggest that you time yourself while reading and preparing your arguments. Try to go through several of those so you can get the hang of it. Always try to improve your speed of reading, digesting the information, and making notes.
