What advice would you give to future applicants for the Gateley plc interview?
They don’t invite many applicants to the assessment centre, so the interviewers will have tailored their questions to your application. Be prepared to discuss any experience/interest you shared in your application at length. Expect commercial questions [i.e. where they should open a new office and why/how a housebuilding company should react to Brexit, etc.]).
You have 45 minutes to complete the written task. Keep an eye on the time, and don’t regurgitate information. It might be worthwhile to have a look at the firm’s blogs to ascertain the desired length/tone.
