WHAT IS THE GROUP ACTIVITY?

Working effectively on a staff team is an important part of the job. The group activity is designed to assess your style and abilities in working with others in group problem-solving activities. Each candidate will be randomly assigned to a group of 6-8 candidates who will work together on several activities that are designed to address or simulate various aspects of the job, such as planning an event together. Each group activity will be observed by an evaluation team that will assess individual style and participation in the group process.

We strive to develop staffs that are balanced with a variety of personality types and social styles, so the information from the group activity will be used in placing hired candidates together on specific staff teams. Many candidates find this to be the most enjoyable part of the selection process, and in some ways the easiest-all you have to do is be yourself!
