Assessment centres are hard to practise alone.

You can read interview tips, watch videos and prepare frameworks.

But working through a case with people you've never met, communicating your ideas under time pressure, balancing collaboration with standing out, and presenting your recommendation?

At some point, you need to actually practise it.

That's what these sessions are for.

Practise the real thing.

  1. Work through a live case

    You'll have 35 minutes to work through a realistic business problem with a small group of other candidates.

  2. Present your recommendation

    Structure your thinking and present your group's recommendation, just like you may need to in a real assessment centre.

  3. Get personalised feedback

    I'll give feedback on the group as a whole and specific observations on how you contributed, structured your thinking, communicated your ideas and presented.

  4. Reflect, ask questions, go again

    We'll finish with reflection and Q&A so you know what to work on next.

What previous participants say

This session gave me a realistic preview of what to expect in a real assessment centre — the pressure, the pacing, the group dynamics. The feedback was direct and specific, which made it far more useful than generic advice. I walked away with a clear sense of what to improve.

★★★★★★★★★★ Jennive · University of Sydney

Thanks for initiating this mock assessment centre, James! I think it was very enjoyable and insightful. The session perfectly balanced theory and practice, thus making the learning experience more comprehensive. Would definitely love to join another mock session to test my preparation in a real interaction setting.

★★★★★★★★★★ Fina · University of Sydney

My session with James was extremely positive. It was a great experience being able to work on a case with another individual and having to work in a team. I also thought the feedback given was very beneficial and will help me with future job interviews! Thanks a lot James, highly recommend to anyone!

★★★★★★★★★★ George · University of Sydney

The session was incredibly insightful and practical. The personalised feedback helped me better understand how to structure and communicate my responses effectively, while listening to other candidates provided valuable perspectives and learning opportunities. I left the session feeling more prepared and confident as I enter the professional world.

★★★★★★★★★★ Dua · UTS

The session was insightful and the feedback helped me understand what I could work on even more to prepare for future interviews, especially in group case discussions.

★★★★★★★★★★ Tiffany · UNSW

I found the AC mock assessment session very helpful in identifying my strengths and areas for improvement, which will be valuable for my upcoming assessment centres. It also helped me understand how to structure my ideas more clearly, something I have previously struggled with, and introduced me to several useful frameworks that I can apply going forward.

★★★★★★★★★★ Past participant · University of Sydney

Attending James' coaching session is very helpful. I got personalized feedback for how I performed, which really helps me to understand what I should work on.

James, founder of Fastlane Careers

I've been through it too.

I'm James.

I currently work in management consulting at PwC and previously interned with Strategy&.

But I didn't magically know how to interview.

When I was applying for consulting internships, there was a period where I was grinding cases, reading books like Case in Point and Hacking the Case Interview, doing courses, going to industry events and practising with friends.

I used to think interviews were a strange way to judge whether someone would be good at a job. Eventually I realised:

I can't change the game, but I can get better at it.

And I did.

I went from moving to Australia for university and trying to figure recruitment out myself to landing a Strategy& internship in my second year and eventually starting my career in consulting.

That's why I started Fastlane Careers.

Because interviews are a skill.
And skills get better with practice.
