I have an in-tray assessment on Thursday and this has been by far the most helpful piece I have found so far. The 'matrix' you talk about is perfect! Thanks!

Super helpful! My first time being asked to perform one in an interview. Now I feel confident and when you mentioned the matrix, my higher education came back! Thank you again!!!

Thank You so much for this video, I feel much more confident going into an in-tray exercise. You explained everything very clearly with exercise and matrix.

Thank you. Your video has been really helpful. Giving me a logical way to approach an in-tray assessment.Thank you so much!

Thank you, some good points in there.

Great, I'm pleased I could help (and calm) you! :)

Excellent video. Clear, logical and really useful. Thanks :)

Thanks for posting this video Mike. It was extremely helpful. I am in a bit of a pickle here. I am looking for HR Advisor position but have never worked in one. I get through the face 2 face bit but when it comes to in-tray exercises, I don't break through. The only way I member dealing with such questions is from my Uni/degree days where we were taught to state the law, policy and procedure of the employer and the best practice. But looks like it is not working. I am obviously doing something wrong. Would you be so kind enough to show some examples as to how to attempt the HR Advisor In-Tray exercises. Any help or tips would be much appreciated. Thanks!!

Very helpful and well explained, thanks

this video is 7 years old. but still the best and most helpfull. thankyou

Glad you found the video helpful Louise, thanks for your comment :)

I am preparing for a Ford graduate assessment center and your video has really helped me understand how in tray exercises work. I can now apply what I've learned in the video when solving the exercise. Thank you so much! Very structured and very well explained. Consider running workshops at graduate careers fairs if you haven't already. I will definitely put my name on the list :D Thank you again.

super helpful, buddy!

Great! Thanks for the feedback Tom, I'm pleased I could help :-)

Thanks Mike for your help

Hi Mike, thank you for making this video. I would like to know what I would need to do for a written tests and what is the purpose of this test? Why would companies have 2 interviews (one general) and one written test? It's not for an assessment centre! Thank you :)

Great stuff thanks

Thank you so much. So helpful :)

GR8 Thanks so much.

Excellent very helpful

Where can I purchase a book or course material related to advanced case studies? What do you recommend?

Thanks useful tips which will help me with an upcoming interview, Clear and concise instructions.

So I had an assessment day yesterday which included an in tray exercise and after reading the scenario, I felt quite confident about it as I had been watching your videos. Scenario was that I had been off work and had come back to a pile of work that had been left for me. 2 tasks were tasks that were directly for me to do and another was for me and someone else to complete and the last one was a colleague who had to urgently print out reports for a meeting she had. So like you said in your video, I put down that I would do the 2 tasks aimed at me directly first and then the one me and somebody else had to do and left the one for my colleague last. I had my feedback today and I was unsuccessful in gaining an interview because I scored poorly on the in tray exercise so I am really confused!!

Very very helpful

Do you have a stakeholder briefing video ?

Can you provide me information about A&DC case study?

I paid for the link to be able for me to access it but no link has been provided, tried to sent an e mail no reply also....is this a scam????

Urgent always tops important, for me. What is 'Not important but urgent'?

Hope we didn't lose you to Covid too?

Thank you Mike. This video has given me a clear understanding on what in tray exercise involves. Thank you.
