Thats grand then. Just was worried cause the email said please pick a morning or afternoon session. But it said the morning session was from 8.30 and nothing about the afternoon one. Very confusing indeed!

Yep, I got the same email! I'm sure they'll email us again if it is actually the morning one we need to go to

Anyone hear yet about what the presentation will entail?

I didn't get any email, I suppose we will hear back from them by tomorrow cos AC are next week!

good luck to anyone!

why tomorrow?

tomorrow because on monday the AC are gonna begin!

They really are all over the place and trying to get any information from them is tough. Like you're trying to contact MI5!?! Shocking stuff.

I got the reply telling me presentation, group case study and competency based interview. But no word on what presentation is or how best to prepare for case study. Whoever does get these jobs has definitely earned them :rolleyes:

I'm in Tues the 18th....Anyone else in that day know what it is? Corporate risk or what?

Hey guys,

has anyone herd from hr about the AC?

Nothing! My guess is tomorrow but my AC is Tuesday so one day to prepare at most..

Hi Guys,

When are all your assessment centre days?

I have mine on Thursday. They have basically gave me no information though just that there will be a presentation, group task and competency interview. Have you guys talked to anyone that works there or done the AC before?
I am not too sure what to make of it. I'm going for the Group Finance (Accountancy role)

I have my assessment centre on wednesday. Still have not received any information in relation to the group task or presentation.

Hopefully will get some information on what the presentation is about from those that had their assessment centers today, it would be greatly appreciated!

Ive mine tomorrow & still no info

But I have just been told from a friend of a friend who works in BOI that the presentation, as far as she knows, will be on the case study only.

I dont know how true that is but she seemed pretty sure.

On the case study? Still it doesnt make any sense to me.

I thought it was like past years:

- your suitability for the programme
-your understanding of BoI businesses and what Irish banking is facing in the market

Thats exactly what I thought. But apparently we will have to work through the case study in a group and present our findings individually.

Suppose ill find out tomorrow when im there ill let ye know!

Then... I wish you good luck for tomorrow!

If you could share with the rest of us smth about the group case and the presentation it would be great!

Good luck with the AC!

I keep checking this every 5 minutes to see if theres any news!

What do we have to do for the presentation, do we have to prepare something before hand or just on the day?

I have mine tomorrow at 1.30, I am not gonna prepare anything since HR didn't mention anything.

Does anyone of you heard from someone who just had the AC in these days?

connolns wrote: »

I have mine tomorrow at 1.30 as well, not sure what to do

I'd say the best thing to do is prepare for the competency based interview? No one knows yet wat the presentation is about and i'm sure the group project is very bluff-able!!! So research a bitta competency based questions and have them ready to rhyme off?? Best of luck!

Dunno what to expect from the group case, I'm 1.30 as well. It seems that all of us are competing for a place in Group Finance!

Good luck guys

I'm not in till Tues the 18th!! I'm going for Actuary. But best of luck to ye all tomo. Any idea on how many is being hired at all?

Hi Folks,

Just joined up when i saw found this thread. It's been a few years since I finished college and I was never at any assessment centres at the time so I'm kinda wondering about this case study, anyone have any ideas what to expect?
Thanks


Also looking at the past few comments from people who had it the last few days, it looks like they could be asking people not to share whats involved with the presentation. Makes sense.

Yes I had mine today, they make it very clear that they do not want you to share any information about the day as a whole to anyone.

Its not too bad in genera, just know why you want the job and your skills. Goodluck!

Thanks for your info just a quick question? Do we need to prepare presentations? Hard copies etc.. Or is it something that will become more clear on the day

Hi has anyone been invited for an assessment centre for the corporate and treasury role yet?

I rang to ask whether my application had been successful in Jan because I was aware that some AC's had been scheduled and the HR rep told me that my application was still under consideration and there would be further assessment centres. I am so confused as I not sure if I have been rejected or their just waiting to see the outcome from the first AC.

I called last week and that was the response I got. I really don't understand the recruitment process at all and I have other assessment centres coming up for different firms so would just like to know the answer. Did you apply early in the recruitment process?

Hi guys and girls, does anyone know when the last date of the assessment centres is?

How did the AC go Eoghan 41? Not looking any specific details but where you happy with the process and how do you think you performed?

Eoghan41 wrote: »

tomorrow

Thanks. What branch/division AC is being held tomorrow? Hopefully you did better today than you think!

You probably have done way better than you think and if it where easy then the selection process would have been inadequate. When do you find out if you have been successful? Wish you the best of luck

No I just hadnt studied for it enough but sure we'll see what happens! Should know by next week
