Please note that admission to GIC’s internship, professional, and scholarship programs are contingent on a different set of criteria which is stated on the GIC website under “Students & Graduates.”
GIC does not merely hire candidates based on their academic achievements. The qualities of leadership, intellectual curiosity, and interpersonal skills are just as important as they can give a clear view of your ability for professional growth within the company. That being said, the two main tests that you are likely to face during the recruitment process include the PI LI Cognitive Ability Test and personality tests.
The PI LI test measures your mathematical, verbal, and non-verbal reasoning (such as abstract reasoning) skills to gauge your ability to understand and quickly adapt to the workplace and job responsibilities. Personality tests are used to evaluate dozens of desirable traits and behaviors for employees working at GIC. The combination of your resume, psychometric test scores, and interviews will give the recruitment team at GIC a better understanding of your capabilities, as well as your compatibility with their company culture and standards. Prior preparation for your GIC aptitude tests will be your greatest precursor to success throughout the pre-employment process.
During your interviews with GIC, you will be asked questions regarding your resume and availability, as well as behavioral questions. Below are just some examples of questions you may be asked during the interview process:
When answering behavioral questions, we recommend using the STAR method. This method will ensure that your responses are structured and engaging for your interviewer.
