    CMA assessment centre

    Hii, I was not sure where to put this post, but I was wondering if anyone happens to have interviewed with the CMA.

    So sorry to hear that. Can I ask, is this PFO post AC or WG? Also, I asked them for my WG result just before my assessment centre, so I am sure you can email and they'll happily send it over!

    Hi. I hope this isn't a silly question, but I'm curious about the time limit for 'recently'. For instance, if an application question says, 'Give a recent example of a goal you have set for yourself', how far back in the past is acceptable?
