Worked there for about a month years and years ago, to get of the dole. I couldn't wait to get back on the dole!!!

rainbowdrop · 06-04-2012, 21:39

Does anybody know if they are taking on staff at the moment?

I don't care if the pay is bad and the work is repetitive. It can't be any more repetitive than sitting at home, skint, watching Jeremy Kyle every day......

Well, I decided to throw in a CV after writing this, and I have an interview with them shortly. Can anybody give me any tips on what to expect?

Wish me luck............

Worked there too, during the move from Castletroy to old Verbatim plant & then to where they are now, any one left from the old days. Davy Condon was the man who worked for Noonans Cleaners, some craic while I was there but money was poor.

Mc Love · 17-04-2012, 23:40

Didn't Davy retire a few years ago? Not too long after I left I think in 2008. used to love the fry ups they did in the mornings!

Have an interview in there tomorrow morning myself. Any advice on the kind of stuff they ask would be very helpful. Cheers!

No overly technical questions than? Just all the usual stuff. Thanks

seachto7 · 18-06-2012, 20:39

depends what the job role is?

If it's call centre, I think they'll try and figure out you're not mental, and won't fly off the handle at the smallest thing. I remember getting asked a question like "if a client was angry with you on the phone, what would you do, how would you handle the situation".

I was tempted to say "I'd call them a c**t and hang up". Look, it's not rocket science, it is what it is, use common sense. They might come out with some boll*x about being "passionate about the job", and all that rubbish. Tell them what you think they need to know in order for you to get the job....
