    Permie and assessment centres

    WTF? Didnt realise people still did these... 1hr telephone interview complete, now an assessment centre day in about 6wks.

    Add to that the amount of travel they've just mentioned, and it may be time to close the book.
    I didn't say it was your ******* fault, I said I was blaming you!

      Not G4S is it?

      I had this, hour telephone interview then a 3.5 hour assessment that the agent said was 'only 1 hour'!

      Apparently everyone applying to G4S has to go through it but obviously tailored for the relevant role.
      I couldn't give two fornicators! Yes, really!

        I had an interview at a certain donut shaped place in Cheltenham, they asked me 3 questions...

        "How would you...?"

        "What do you need from us?"

        "When can you start?"

        Must've been the uniform.

            Yep, full day for one permie job, presentations, interviews, group tests, psychometric. Had the worst headache of my life at the end. Got offered the job at 50% of my last contract rate. I was desperate....

                Only for special occasions. Do you want to borrow it?

                    At 6ft 8", that would be an impressive manouvre.
