Always Travelling

I attended an assessment centre on Friday for a graduate program at a well known West Australian company. Quite a good experience as the assessment procedure was quite rigorous and comprehensive. After rocking up we split into groups of a half a dozen, with 3 assessors observing each group. First up we tackled a case as a group and has to come up with a group decision; the assessors were looking at how we individually performed, leadership and commuication styles etc. Then we were individually given topics and given ten minutes to create a 3 minute presentation to present to the group. Afterwards we completed 3 mental ability test batteries and a personality inventory, which took a good hour and a half. I didn't feel out of my depth and the position would be excellent as it would be very generalist and broad in the range of activities I'd be performing and skills I'd develop. Attending the assessment centre was also a great experience just in itself, and really gets me thinking about jobs and the future. It has provided me another spur of motivation to study hard and finish off uni with flying colours.
