An assessment centre is part of some interview processes, which is a combination of tasks and activities that test your suitable for the job you're applying for. Unlike a traditional face-to-face interview, you'll have the chance to demonstrate a wider range of your skills.
You'll usually be joined by 6 to 8 other candidates, but it's important to keep focused on your own performance.
We've got some helpful tips on what skills there are and how you can highlight these to employers.
Lynda Stoddart is an HR Business Manager at the technology and support services firm QubeGB. She explains:
'We use an assessment centre to recruit people for our contact centre. There are a few reasons for this - we were finding a traditional one-to-one interview wasn't really working.
Young people, especially school leavers, found it quite difficult. Often, candidates weren't prepared and we didn't get the people we need.'
