There are multiple stages just to make it to the assessment day.
So of course there is a CV screening which pretty much everyone makes it past, the only way your CV would name make it through if it was non existent to begin with.
then a phone screen followed by a phone interview which is recorded so that the recruiter can approve.
followed by a recorded interview, simple questions, 20 seconds to think of an acceptable response and then go for it, once again this was not difficult, i stuttered and did not make enough eye contact but i gave examples to each point and related to the question.
finally once this is completely, you get through to as assessment day. now i'll be honest, if you are going through for a business consultant, it will be harder because of the popularity of that position.
but yeah, at the assessment day we have 4 tests, 1 of which is not valuable and not really considered.
verbal reason (not important or hard)
maths test (simple multiplications and what not, i got 95%
set notations and venn diagrams (simple really, i got 100%)
IT and amplitude test (now this is HARD. some questions on IT terms like http stands for, easy enough. others you are provided with a line of coding, input process and output, if you keep an eye out for those 3 steps you should be fine. others were trick questions. i got %60, acceptable score for that test was only 50% because of it's difficulty.)
then you move on to 3 interviews. this is done so get a better idea of who you really are. if all 3 interviewers thinks the same of you, good for you.
i failed my interviews by 6 marks but they offered me another chance due to my enthusiasm, passion and that i was going for IT which is rare. second round i passed with flying colours.
simply address the point, expand on it and relate back to the question. don't be scared to ask them to repeat the question
