Help me prepare for a panel interview or assessment centre. The invite: [paste it, with the schedule and exercises] The job: [paste the ad] What I'm worried about: [e.g. the group task, presenting] Ask me up to 3 short questions first if anything important is missing. Wait for my answers. Then: 1. For each exercise, what assessors are usually looking for and how I can show it. 2. Group task tactics: how to contribute, bring quieter people in and keep time, without taking over. 3. Panel interview tips: who to look at, and how to handle a follow-up from someone else. 4. A practice plan for the days before. 5. A checklist for the day: what to bring, timings, food and water. Only use what I've told you, leave blanks for anything I haven't given, and don't invent facts, dates or results. UK English. Stay in this ChatGPT chat.
