Hi everyone,

I’ve recently been invited to complete the pre-assessment centre written task for the BBC. However, I’ve received very little information about what to expect. All I know is that I’ll have 5 hours to complete the task via HireVue, but I’m unsure of how to approach it.

Should I treat it like a case study, as one might in a typical assessment centre, or take a different approach? I've also been unable to find much information about this specific task online.

If anyone has experience with this or any tips, I’d greatly appreciate your insights. Thank you!!

I am in the same boat right now! It has been so difficult to find anything regarding the written assessment which to help me prep so I am unsure of how I should approach it. Wishing you the best!!
