Why do you ask for written work?
We use your written work to help assess your reasoning, language and writing skills. Should you be called for interview, the topic might use as a springboard for questions at interview, so do choose something you want to talk about. Don’t worry if you’ve changed your mind since writing, we’ll be interested to hear why!
