According to the Authors, "This book is full of helpful topics to get you focused before you take that next promotional exam, including assessment centers or related performance based scenarios. It also has a chapter just on Interview Panels, with many sample scenarios for practice!

Each component of the Assessment Center process is covered in detail, along with a list of behavioral dimensions that the candidate who is ready for the job, should be able to demonstrate. Note that while the book and our materials are geared to help you get ready for any type of assessment process, the core of our program and the text, is to help you get ready for the job itself. If you have done all you can by strengthening your skills to become a strong supervisor, you still have to consider the political and even personal issues that undoubtedly will surface. Keep in mind building relationships is a critical component of any good supervisor or manager.

The more you know about the process and what to expect, the more likely you are to be more prepared for the job! If you don't have the skill sets to do the job, the temperament, leadership skills, organizational skills, supervisory skills, and so on, you're simply not ready to take on that new role yet!”

Better to wait and build up your strengths first! Are you attending supervisory or management courses? Working on your degree? Practicing your supervisory, organizational or administrative skills? You cannot read any book and simply expect to "dazzle" assessors. They will see your "real" readiness levels, so don't assume you can merely "wing it!" and succeed!”
