    ta everyone :D I have to confess I did pop to Tesco and get 2 necklaces and a pair of earrings. I felt the pink blouse was a bit tight last time but I wanted to wear the pink shoes again. So I'm going to be wearing a black and white squiggly top, black jacket and skirt, bright pink pointy shoes and one of 2 similarly coloured necklaces and the earrings (I felt I needed something to co-ordinate with the shoes otherwise it would have looked odd with black and white outfit and shocking pink shoes!!

    I did find myself looking at the jewellery in Tesco and feeling a bit cheap :( I'm going for a job paying 30-35k and all I can afford is a £4 necklace and £2 earrings that look like the cost £4 and £2 :rolleyes:

    goodluck.giffor tomorrow & sock it to 'em in the pointy pink shoes.

    A couple of thoughts from someone who used to run assessment centres regularly:
    • if you think you've not done as well on one segment as you could have done, don't worry about it (I have done this myself, and it does no good to be worrying about one exercise when you are in the next)
    • you are not being assessed over lunch
    • you are there because they believe you can do the job. You don't have to be spectacularly good at every exercise, just good enough overall
    Hope it all goes well. Try and relax tonight, eh?

    ta hollyberry :D

    I'm quite chilled about it really to be honest. I've done my research, I know what the department does, I finished my presentation days ago and I'm happy with it.

    I've just re-read the JD again and my application - 23 March I applied - how long ago is that?!

    In the morning I'll re-read the JD, my application and run through the presentation in my head 1 more time.

    I had a go at one of the finance tests on the website they use for their OPQ tests and I did an OPQ test as well. Just depends if it is the same style of finance test I guess, there are lots of different types. Also, whatever comes of the OPQ test is going to be either the kind of person they want, or the kind of person they don't.

    So, really, I'm quite chilled.

    Although, any tips on dropping 10 stone by 9am tomorrow morning would be gratefully received :D
