    Don't worry bout it too much man. They are thorough. Very thorough. But as long as there was no bullsh1t on them, you'll be grand.

    well done everyone looking forward to seeing you guys when you begin the consensus is wear what you'd normally wear for a interview although it is a different format can always take jacket off when you get in but regards the job casual gear acceptable-

    Hi All,
    I did apply for a position in Sky but did not get the role. Sucks but best of luck to everyone who got the roles they applied for.

    I did however get a role in a different firm so hapy as larry myself.

    ;-)

    Well Sky are hardly cheap. And in the current economic climate, it's the cost of bills that people are worrying about, not having 'one tidy Sky bill'. I'm quite happy with the 150 channels on my combi box.... And it doesn't cost me a single cent. So you can keep the sales pitch for your new callers.

    Do you work in the sky office with me Tripper and Chuck?? if not,then your talking through your arse about speeds etc. im on the trial BB for staff at the moment and its faster than the bull your spewing! Personal opinion vs experience with the product! Good girl yourself

    something along the lines of...

    "something you did to show empathy to customer, what i did exactly and what i could have done to do it better"

    i had an example for it i just dont think i put it across the way i wanted to!

    i remember it caught me off guard too. if its any consolation anyone i spoke to left the interview not exactly sure had they done well. best thing is to put it away in to a box and leave it behind you. move forward to next interview which you will find easier just for the fact having been there today i promise

    Hi BrookieD!
    I applied for service manager with Sky, I've passed successfully the phone interview this Tuesday and they will be inviting me for next two stages today. I'm from Bulgaria and the trip will be quite complicated, that's why Sky guys are willing to do those in two consecutive days, but anyway...my question is do you have more info on the role play assessment interview?
    Thanks in advance,
    Bore
