Is this just me?
Work based assessment day commenced at 7.00am and my stomach was having a field day doing somersaults- it is clearly far more gymnastic than I am.
They weren't kidding when they said we'd be 'watching a short video' and then preparing a bullet point summary of it. Short is not the word. One and a half minutes long is not short, it is practically non existent!
You know when you sit somewhere, and you think 'is this me?' and then you think 'no, really, I just don't get it, is this just me?'
20 minutes we got to prepare our bullet point summary of a minute and a half long video. That I think is excessive considering bugger all happened in the video- there was no anti-social behaviour or anything. I sat there chewing my pen (which they probably noted) and I couldn't help but think 'this is mental, is this just me that isn't getting this? 20 minutes for a minute and a half long video. Seriously, is this just me? I just DON'T GET IT.'
Of course I couldn't say that, that would have put me at a severe disadvantage in the room, so I chewed my pen silently; however, it is my educated guess that it was not just me that didn't get this, due to the nervous and bemused looks being exchanged across the table between interviewees.
