There were 40 something year old women there (no offense). Surely ASA would be looking for people who have a capacity to absorb the training.
In light of the above, perhaps you should reconsider the advice to "be yourself." In your case, it may be a disadvantage.
I wonder whether they only invite applicants who meet their profile for an interview?
Yep! They even want people who are capable of working in a team with "40 something year old women."
