What advice would you give to someone applying to this role?

Be yourself! Assessors will know if you are being fake. They are trained to look for it. Also don't think you have failed at the first hurdle in the assessment centre. I thought one task had gone really badly, but actually feedback was quite positive. They are looking for lots of different people, not one type of loud outspoken extrovert who dominates everything.

Know what you are good at but also what you can develop. Be honest about your short-comings and why you would like to address them. Research what the company does and what would be included in your role.

Do you have any interview tips?

Working in a team is also about listening - you don't need to be in charge of the group task to do well. They are looking for team players.

Think about different situations at work or uni where you have learnt something about yourself. Could be overcoming obstacles or working with challenging people.

It is really difficult not to be nervous, I know I was. I was able to explain afterwards why my presentation had gone really fast because I spoke really quickly due to nerves. Being able to keep them under control is important, but also knowing when you have let them get the better of you slightly and being able to admit it is good as well.
