The prompt · ChatGPT

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. Do not turn on apps or connectors, and do not use memory from another chat.
