Well, if you can't keep your concentration in this kind of situation, than you shouldn't be an air traffic controller in the first place
. I admit the situation wasn't ideal, but as an air traffic controller you have to be able to respond flexible to changes in every situation and stay focused and calm at all time. Look at the ATCO that was there: he managed to keep his head cool and took care of things, while he had to inform +/- 50 applicants about the fact that testtakers did not show up. Thanks to him I was still able to catch my flight in time.
But that is all off topic stuff. I want to know more about the changed interviews, especially about the group exercise.
