Congratulations to all candidates who have been successful in advancing to assessment centres.

We know assessment centres can be daunting. Follow the below tips to make your interview a success.

1. Check your tech – familiarise yourself with your we**am and microphone so you know they work.

2. Prepare your surroundings – make sure there’s nothing visually distracting in the background.

3. Look at your lighting – make sure we can see you!

4. Dress to impress – just like a face-to-face interview.

5. Sit where you can speak freely – be somewhere comfortable when completing your interview.

Good luck!
