I'm looking to apply to be a summer rep next year. I was just wondering what advice you could give me on the assessment day and what they look for? I've seen a few people mention a presentation about a destination, do you get given this before the assessment day so you have time to prepare? Also, do you get to choose the destination you present on?

Finally, I'm English but I also speak a bit of Italian and am still learning. I really want to be placed in Italy, but I am aware you can't completely choose your destination. Has anyone been given Italy and would advise me of how to maximise my chances of being given it? I also read that they put you in a location you're most suited to, would me speaking Italian boost my chances of being given Italy? I just wouldn't really want to go anywhere else, so I don't want to waste my time to be offered somewhere completely different! 

Thanks
