Applied on Linked in. Received a phone call from HR manager in Madrid a couple of days later asking questions about my CV just to confirm details etc, then invited me to an assessment centre next week.
Assessment centre was a numerical test and a group activity. Numerical test was harder than I expected since it was non-calculator- they don't have a test provider like SHL etc. they just make their own questions-hard to prepare for. Also major curve-ball id that it was NEGATIVELY MARKED. 20 mins 16 questions.
There were 8 candidates in the assessment centre and our group task was to plan how we would solve this problem : The local government has found that tourism in London has decreased over the past four years, explain how you would investigate this/provide a solution/state possible costs/ benefits of your actions etc. We had 2 mins to quickly write down ideas, then we had to present them individually to the group. Then we had 30 mins to come up with a plan as a group- and we weren't aloud to split into smaller groups. Difficult when people had different ideas of how to structure the task/ interpret the problem! Very easy to forget you're being watched and analysed every step of the way! Received an email the next day saying I didn't make it to the next round. First time doing this so it was a good learning experience! Will only get better with practice!
