  (You will have 19 mins to complete the test)

Competency Based Interview (CBI)

2. Do ample research on the company and the position you are applying for
3. Be aware of your strengths/development needs and how they relate to the position you are applying for
4. Be yourself: we want to understand the Real you and whether you can fit into the organisation

Assessment Centre

The main aim of an Assessment Centre is to allow us to understand how you respond in different situations. It is also an additional opportunity for you to demonstrate any abilities you were unable to exhibit during your interview.

The Process

You can expect to:

1. Participate in group activities such as case study exercises, as well as individual presentations or even role-play
2. Be assessed by multiple assessors who will be observing your behaviour and judging you based on your displays of leadership, creativity, teamwork, customer focus, personal effectiveness and initiative, as well as decisiveness and focus on results

Tips

1. Listen carefully to the instructions given
2. Read all information thoroughly
3. Try to converse with other candidates - this will help when it comes to group exercises
4. Be yourself, at your best
5. Remain focused and motivated throughout the assessment
6. Take any feedback given positively

MAP Networking Session

If you get through the Assessment Centre, you will be given the opportunity to attend a Networking Session.

The networking stage of the selection process is an informal session intended to give you a chance to mingle and interact on a social level with our senior managers. You will gain insights on the bank from our management team, as well as current Management Associates.

As it is extremely rare for majority of our management team to be together in the same place, at the same time for a gathering of this nature, it is a great opportunity for you to get to know them and speak to them on topics and issues that will not usually be covered in your educational syllabus.

As a Management Associate, you will be required to represent the bank at numerous events. The networking session is the best chance for you to showcase your social skills. Remember our tips if you find yourself in an awkward position at the networking session.

Tips

• Prepare a self-introduction that is both relevant and interesting
• Maintain an outgoing attitude throughout the session
• Try and find a common thread between you and the people you are conversing with
• Listen well and attentively
