Synopsis

<p>When applying for a new job or a promotion many people have to face the rigours of an assessment centre. Many organizations, in both the public and private sectors, now use these extended forms of assessment for selection purposes. Candidates often fail to do themselves justice as they are unaware of the different types of assessment tasks they may have to undertake.<br><br>This fully revised and expanded new edition provides ideal preparation for assessment events and gives expert advice on all the key issues such as: how the assessments are conducted, how to behave - both in formal and informal situations - and how to prepare for the different forms of assessment. It looks in detail at each of these different assessments, from group exercises and psychometric tests to panel interviews and role play exercises. There are plenty of practice questions with answers and explanations, and new personality and emotional intelligence questionnaires.</p>
