Assessment... check. Review....check.

27 June 2011

The last fortnight saw the Auckland assessment centre come together. Having been part of two previous assessment centres in Sydney the week before, i thought that this one would now be pretty simple but it wasn't.

It was a long day for the participants who dug deep and gave it their best shot and for the examiners as well as every one had to follow a very tight time schedule to ensure that things would go according to plan. The day started at around 7.30 and finished around 7pm where we got a chance to head over and have dinner with Tracy Martin, Andree McSweeney, Siddharth Rallapalli.

It was a good way to end the night and while Sid and my involvement with the Fast Track Group intake for 2011 ended here, Tracy and Andree have a lot more work having to go through the assessments and picking the candidates to make the offer to in the near future. For those who made the cut, Congratulations and I hope you accept the offer.

While that assessment was going on, my own assessment for Jeremy was on its way to be completed too. I got all the final pieces of the puzzle together and managed to put it all down on paper too. Fiona Bunn (HR Administrator) was very kind enough to bind it all for me in a neat little book. I say little, but the pagecount ended at 70!

As part of the next steps in my involvement with APN Online, Jeremy has teed up a phone conference with David McGrath (Head of Content) and Kate Bedoe (Product Director) later on today to see how we can maximise my involvement and feed into the bigger projects that they are currently involved in.

Very excited. Can't wait!
