    INVITATION TO THE SKYE BANK ASSESSMENT CENTRE

    After the Skye Bank Test that was written at Chams City yesterday, I received a couple of text messages from them this evening inviting me to their Skye Bank Assessment Centre. Please does anyone in the house have any idea what this is all about and what to expect? thanks

    This represents the most challenging and intimidating selection process you can face. You will be judged on how you perform against other candidates who all want the job as much as you do. Learn how to excel at the in-tray exercise, role play, presentations and group discussions
    The most common type of assessment centre exercises include:

    An in-tray or in-basket exercise asks to assume a particular role as an employee of a fictitious company and work through the correspondence in your in-tray. This exercise is designed to measure your ability to organize and prioritize work.

    In a presentation exercise, you will be given a topic or possibly a choice of topics and asked to make a presentation of around ten minutes with five minutes at the end for questions. This is designed to measure your presentation skills including your ability to organise and structure the information and to communicate your points clearly and concisely.

    Group discussion exercises involve you working with other candidates as part of a team to resolve a presented issue. These exercises are designed to measure interpersonal skills such as group leadership, teamwork, negotiation, and group problem solving skills.

    Panel interviews are regarded as a more objective means of assessing your suitability as you will be interviewed by between three and five people and therefore the decision is not reliant on just one person's opinion. In addition, they are usually more structured than a one-to-one interview as the panel need to assess all of the candidates against the same criteria.

    From my experience of assessment exercise, not from Skye Bank though, the Presentation Exercise carries more points followed by Group Discussion (please try to participate actively here. Say something even if it OUT OF POINT!). The whole exercise takes about a day! Goodluck to you!
