Cheers man. Yeah, went very well. As tripper said, there's a great buzz about the place, and there're feck all of us there at the moment. Can only imagine what it'll be like when it's full

Not on the phones yet. 4 weeks training before that happens. But it's all good so far.

I have my first interview session coming up with sky and am terrified, can anyone please give me some pointers on what will be asked, I have never worked at anything like this before so don't know anything about it really, the position is for sales advisor, any help will be great.

Dont wanna sound like a smart arse, but please read the thread replies from people like myself and Tripper and Chuck Norris, we have been answering and commenting on these questions of start date, pay, holidays etc etc. all the answers are on previous pages.

Is there full traning provided for these positions? Like if you have never worked in a call centre enviroment is it pointless applying for any of these jobs?

Training is four weeks training with a training manager about the systems, products etc depending on positions. Then after four weeks it's onto the phones for live calls. This is all the training they do.

It's all good so far Ciarain. Haven't met yourself or tripper as yet. Clash of hours and what not.

The training is definitely "different". But it's good, as they don't seem to mind people being creative, or different thinking.

Having said that, I am in a room full of like minded techie nerds, so the conversations can be "intersting" to say the least. But it's good. It's not at all a stifling atmosphere.

And for any people who have done interviews, and are cynical about the emphasis placed on Sky being a fun place to work, I can assure you it is.

Like I had said in an earlier post, there's already a buzz about the place, which can only get even better as more people start.
