   Application

   I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Jones Knowles Ritchie (London, England)

   Interview

   I was looking forward to the interview until the day I arrived and saw they had invited at least 20 or more other candidates to the same 'group interview' day. I don't know how they could get a feel for anyone's individual personality having so many people in for an assessment day, and naturally the extroverts are grabbing for attention in all the presentation tasks which was what the entire day seemed to consist of.
   

   Interview

   They asked me to present a visual version of my CV... They also had us stand up in groups and present group work. There was no opportunity for a 1 on 1 at any point until they had screened the weaker presenters out from the huge group of candidates. The way they told us this was to split us into 2 groups like they do on the X Factor and tell one group they go through and the other to go home. I was told that the 1 on 1 interviews afterwards by a peer were unnecessarily gruelling.
