Another few weeks til mine, wish it would roll round, really just chomping at the bit to get it over and done with!!!!!!!!:p
I know how you feel. Mine should have been over by now but had to reschedule as was away on holidays on original date. I just want it over so I can stop thinking about it and imagining saying something really ridiculous and feeling like an idiot for the rest of my life
. Enjoying these boards though. I'm sure my poor hubby is sick hearing about it (the sighs and glazed eyes as I start to talk about it again are a give away) - so at least I get my 'fix' by coming on here! 0 -

But I thought if I'm going to be playing the role of a Manager, I may as well look like one for the day :-) Hope it's not too long a day in the ol' heels though :eek:
I wore a pair of heels and I was fine - go for it! Your sat down most of the time

Hows that hangover now mrs genehunter?
Did ac not at the start o the week there. Wore smart myself at the AC, other 3 guys in jeans and tshirt. The girls were smartly dressed, inc badcopgoodcop!
I was surprised about how many were from my locality on the day! I had to travel over 80 miles to get there! Made it in good time, was pretty nervous, never wrote so fast in such a short space of time! Hope they dont need a graphologist to determine what I scrawled! ha0 -

Hi everybody
Well, the friend of a friend came to visit today. She's just finishing her 2 year probabationary period in the PSNI and was very kind to give me some pointers and advice for the assessment centre.
A couple of the example scenarios from her a/c did put the wind up me slightly as I couldn't think of a thing I would have said in response :eek: but I'm hoping divine intervention will help me on the day lol and she assured me she was a nervous wreck when she did hers and she obviously did OK so here's hoping. She said she nearly turned back when she got there as she turned up in combats and a top and everyone was dressed to the nines. I will be dressing up - hoping it will help with my confidence.
I have decided to stop worrying about it, and if it's meant to be it will be - just as long as I don't make a complete idiot of myself (please please) and look at them like a rabbit caught in headlights when I'm asked a question!
Hope everyone is doing OK - it's quiet on here these days. Where are you all hiding?

Hi Mustbecrazy
Long time no see!!!
Good to have you back. Yes the board has been a bit quiet, ACs still going on but the phonecalls for the Sept should kick in next week we think so expect lots of OMG why isnt the phone ringing postings!!
Also we now have a girls only thread ( tho JVB cant grasp that concept LOL ) so us girlies are chatting over there and generally putting the world to rights!! You'll be very welcome!!
My AC is still a few weeks away I know what you mean about feeling about being dumbstruck in the role plays. But you will do great, I think the key thing is to relax. At least you are in the room on your own with the actor and assessors, and not having everyone ogling on!! I'm really nervous and kind of excited at the same time. I will most likely be a wreck on the day, I will be straight out of there and straight to the nearest bar for a large one LOL
I think you are so right to dress up, I am going in a ultra smart trouser suit, dressing for success and all that. I've said it before and I'll say it again, we're applying for a job where the uniform is paramount and defines you, so why would you go to what is in effect an interview and not demonstrate that you can be well turned out. Fair enough you may not be marked on your appearance, but I wouldnt feel the part unless I was dressed it.
Best of luck to you for yours, I know its not too far away. you will do great! Let us know how you get on when you get back.
But come on over to the gals thread, we'd love to see you!:DMustBeCrazy wrote: »Hi everybody
