Introduction to Assessment Centre
The Competencies
Your performance in the one-to-one interview with Simon was well below the standards
expected. You became agitated with Simon, wagged your finger at him stating, this
situation is not acceptable and I will not allow this situation to continue. You did not
attempt to alter your approach to win Simon over and convince him of the need to alter his
behavior. No acceptable solution was found by the end of the exercise.
In the presentation exercise, your presentation was delivered in a calm and effective manner.
When the assessor changed the budget figure and asked how this would affect your
recommendations you became flustered and replied sharply youll have to give me time to
re-work it.
