We were split into 3 breakout rooms to discuss a fictional scenario centred on nominating 3 people (dead or alive, real or fictional) to form a new &ldquo;United Nations&rdquo; to rebuild the world after an apocalypse.&nbsp;</p><p>We had 30 minutes to discuss this task and members of the graduate recruitment/supervisor and manager team regularly dropped in and out of the rooms to monitor discussions.</p><p>We then returned to the call and each group nominated a spokesperson, or divided the speaking between each member, to explain in 5 minutes who we had chosen and why. Other candidates were allowed to ask questions about our decisions and vice versa, but this was not compulsory.</p><p><strong><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"><em>Advice from the successful candidate</em></span></strong></p><p><strong></strong>The group exercise was all about testing how you interact with others &ndash; it was not at all legal. Try to make sure that you have something to say and that you can back up your opinions because you may get questioned by the managers or other people in your assessment and need to be able to provide explanations.</p>"
