Thanks TDK - I have read many of your posts on here with interest. There was only one lady who was conducting the assessments, she did move around the room to help people out and collect papers after each test....so I hope she noticed!
I went to the FGW assessment day on 2nd May Thursday this week and was immaculately dressed and polished - there were many candidates in jeans and an open neck casual shirt and shoes....I wonder if the assessor from FGW made a mental note of them.
