Did not complete job simulation but online assessment involved evaluating work scenarios and some cognitive questions. It was not time capped I think.
Applied for the Global Graduates scheme where I submitted my CV and did a simulation. Attended the week-long scheme and stated my interest in IB. Did a video interview and was selected for an OC interview. 3 x 30 min interviews with an MD each time.
