emails and voicemails will need to be dealt with within a time limit. Led through by a 3D virtual assistant, the exercise

information comes in about a project.
• Analysis exercise: This is a written exercise in which candidates have to produce a report from detailed information
they are given. It takes approximately an hour.
• Two simulated meetings: These are very similar to the kinds of meetings candidates would have if they were
