WeX Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 I heard one of the tricks they use is placing the waiting room far away form the assessment room. They then call you in and if you walk to the room without any problems, you are fit to work. maybe this is why she only had one question asked in the assessment.

Another one is asking you what you like to watch on TV. If you say all the Soaps, they take it you can sit still comfortably for 30 minutes. If you say a film, well you can sit comfortably for up to two hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of interest if you answer in the affirmative do they ask any follow up questions like, how long does it take you to watch an episode of Corrie? For if they don't then they are making some whopping, baseless assumptions. jb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
