Showing how you work, rather than telling an interviewer about your skills sounds intimidating, but it's actually very effective - it’s easier to show than to tell. Here’s some tips for preparing for an assessment centre & what to do on the day https://t.co/fHCIf6ZfBZ #BioCapCorp

[BioCap Corporation @BioCapCorp]

Going for a new job and need to know about assessment centres? How do they work? What are they looking for? These centres use activities to see if you will fit into their organisation. Keep in mind that you’re being assessed the moment you walk in the door #BioCapCorp

One way to make teams more effective & reduce horrible teamwork experiences is by creating a contract at the beginning of any teamwork. This makes sure everyone is on the same page & the team has strategies in place for when the wheels fall off https://t.co/EY8NjPzbr7 #BioCapCorp

Learning from kindergarten kids is not something we normally think of when contemplating teamwork, but they are some of the most successful in the #marshmallowchallenge https://t.co/G8xyqNs2B3 #BioCapCorp

What qualities make for a good team? Building an effective team sounds easy ‘just have everyone working towards a common goal’. But getting to this point is complex and takes a lot of work https://t.co/vxxDTDL5dn #BioCapCorp

Do you inwardly groan when you get assigned to work on a team project? Have you had bad teamwork experiences? This week the #BioCapCorp consultants are brainstorming ways to overcome these difficulties and make teamwork more effective (and hopefully more enjoyable).
