Where possible, these take place in person at an assessment centre. After passing the assessment, applicants will attend a face-to-face interview.
Assessments involve a range of carefully selected tasks. Please ensure you are aware of the location and time of your assessment and follow any dress instructions. Always dress to impress. Ensure you bring a notebook, pen and prepare plenty of questions.
At the assessment, ASC will consider your level of engagement, communication skills and how you interact in a group setting. This can be an
intimidating and unusual setting for many people. Its important to relax as
much as possible and let your personality and strengths shine through.
