The process required an online application to be completed, an assessment centre and a final interview. After completing the online application form I was invited to complete an online Numerical Reasoning Test. After I was successful with the previous two steps I was invited to attend an assessment centre at Milton Keynes. After confirming that I would be attending I was sent information detailing the need to prepare a 5 minute presentation on a well known company. On the day, I was given a friendly welcome to office and put immediately at ease. We were given the opportunity while other candidates were arriving to chat and get to know one another. The day officially started with a brief presentation on the company and an introduction to the team who would be assessing, and other perspective employees. We were then split into two and given a group work activity to complete, this provided an opportunity to demonstrate team work and reasoning skills. The company provided the opportunity to chat with employees over a buffet lunch about the company, this helped to provide some invaluable information and insight into the company. A numerical test was completed on the day very similar to the online one previously completed, as such, it would be best to bring a calculator. The final part of the day involved presenting the previously prepared information to a small group. The team split the group up in order to make it a bit less daunting, which was a nice idea. After the presentation you were expected to answer two questions put forward on your topic - these were decided by others attending the assessment centre and were not too challenging to answer. The day ended with opportunity to receive individual feedback as well as whether or not you had progressed to the next stage. The interview was very similar to the assessment centre in the teams attempts to make you feel at ease. I was interviewed by an Audit Directors and a Tax Director. This was an enjoyable experience and gave the opportunity to show your personality as well as ability. I was informed that I would hear back from the team as to whether or not I was successful within the next day. Just over an hour after the interview was completed I was telephoned and informed I was successful. Overall, each step of the process has been enjoyable and positive. Feedback was provided at every step and was always prompt. The team at both the assessment and the office applied for were accommodating, friendly and approachable.
