You may have to talk about yourself and who you are etc. But not at a panel. That will be the 3rd stage I'd imagine. They will want to see how you interact. You may be great at looking at shapes and multitasking etc but when put in a room with another guy you go to peices and just cannot work with him. Once they know that you can add, read and generally work to a set standard it's all about who you are as a person and how you do those things in a practical sense.

Personally though, I wouldn't give a damn where I was based or how much in debt I was, that fact that I'd be in Aer Lingus I'd be jumping with joy!!

I didnt count, but it looked like there were only 15/16 assesment sessions, and i reckon the number at these will be relatively small so HR selectors can get a good idea of each individual. And as mentioned above the fact that you are asked to bring 2 passport photos with you seems like it will be like an xfactor style chop, where the sit down at the end of it and go through the photos, cant see them doing this if there were thousands through! Again though, im just speculating, i could be totally wrong.
