graduate area manager interview with Donald Mackay

EmilyJayRose

Hello everybody, can anybody tell me please what their experience of a graduate area manager interview with Donald Mackay was like. I would really like as much information as possible with regard to the types of questions you should be aware of asking with regard to retail. I want to know what presentation topics cropped up for people and how long they had to talk for, if there was a question and answer session after the presentation etc.

I am very interested in what anybody has to say about debate topics that they may have encountered as I hear that this has come up. Are the current affairs topics and questions largely retail based, are they the topic of the week, of the year. Any help would be much appreciated. Apologies for the punctuation. My question mark button is broken. Thanks

I went to one a few weeks ago, lasted approx 3 hours. Did a group survival exercise, stuck on a reef, what items would you save in order of preference sort of thing. Did it independently then you have to decide on the order as a group. Then some numerical and verbal reasoning tests then a debate, one side of the room against the other, our topic was whether or not the pope was right to resign! Nothing retail based is asked as they say they will do all that if you are successful. There was 14 of us there on the day out of 16 invited, I wasn't successful anyway!
