Hi, hope you're well. Just seen that you had an AC for Gateley's Manchester office last year, do you know if the AC is more strength/competency based or commercial and do you have any tips you could please share at all? Thanks!

Hey, I hope you're well. I saw your post regarding the OC assessment centre and I was just wondering how it was? I have mine in a couple of days and it will be my first assessment centre so I am very nervous. Any help would be really appreciated! Thank you :)

Hi! Hope you are well too :) And it was my first assessment centre too, but it was went well I thought! The OC team do a great job of making you feel at ease. The interview was very relaxed I thought and the partners were lovely. The group exercise is done in groups of 4, so you'll definitely be able to contribute with ease.
