In this latest episode of Bricks & Mortar, EG rounds off its coverage of the APC final assessment with a look at the interview itself: what candidates can expect from the assessment centre; how they can best prepare for it; and what they need to demonstrate to ensure a pass.
RICS assessor Jen Lemen gives practical advice on all aspects of the hour-long session, ranging from dressing appropriately and creating a good first impression, to delivering a time-perfect presentation and demonstrating knowledge of hot topics.
For anyone struggling with nerves, she also has invaluable practical advice for helping to keep them at bay.
