    Jebus, Am I the only one who's going into the Phone & Broadband Team??? Feckin Loner i am!!

    I'll be a technical advisor, so will probably be getting referred from you or vice versa :P

    Also, my start date isn't until the 7th of January (seems miles off, but I know it'll creep up) so won't be hearing about my meet and greet for a while. Just happens to be an awkward date for finding a place for me and the other half to live with the holidays just before, will probably end up finding a place before Christmas but leaving it somewhat empty until I'm starting. Anyone else having the same problems if they're starting on the 7th?

    For the phone & broadband? My understanding is that it's gonna be a separate team/ teams for that, from the tv teams.

    Well, the aptitude test I sat for the role was solely regarding Internet technology, so I'd imagine I'd be supporting phone and broadband for sure. Whether I'll be supporting tv customer too, I don't know yet

    Ah yes. But when they made the job offer, did they say it was for phone & broadband? Or for the tv? Just curious.

    What shift will you be working? And what are the break times like?

    They didn't specify. I suppose I'll know more clearly once I get my contract and written offer. Either way, I'd like either task really. I do have a keen interest in computers but I'm sure I'd be fine for helping with TV problems :)

    Cool. Was jut wondering. I did the aptitude test as well, and they specifically asked me to do the phone & broadband technical advisor role.

    Hi all
    Can someone please tell me what the assessment is like for a sales adviser? Got it tomorrow

    I think it's already been mentioned, but you'll be spoken to individually by 4 people. They'll be assessing you in a different manner, after asking you on your work and education history at the beginning. There's no magic trick or preparation needed, just be communicative and google the STAR interview method and you should be fine :)
