    Ex Door to Door Sales people?

    Hi all, they have some sales/marketing/promotional vacancies for the Swords and Dun Laoghaire hubs with billsave.ie. These are sales agent roles selling gas and electricity. Its mostly door to door, its commission only, but if you've ever worked door to door you'll see the hours are better, the money is much better and the company is very professional. I've just started for them and said I'd pop this up...

    I applied online and got a confirmation email that it was received.MAke sure your references are complete and informative.No real idea of where to look for jobs.

    Did you get all copies certified and scanned?

    Written references with plenty of details,scanned and uploaded.Don't expect to get it if the references are not good.My first application got rejected due to lack of information in the references.

    i applied for mine in may and just got a letter saying ive been denied. That iam not educated as a electrician. which is complete nonsense im from belfast and have done my apprenticeship up there.(city and guilds) i gave them all my qualifications i even went back and done my 17th edition so im fully up to date. I dont know whats going on. Gonna fone them tomorrow see if i get some insight. Pissed off been waiting along time for this. Was waiting for a cv that never came in time which i have now didnt think that it would matter that much.

    Think they're getting more strict on issuing DSB certs recently.

    And no house-bashers need apply. ;)

    We're all in this psy-op together.🤨

    By the way, that "house-basher" comment wasn't aimed at you. :)

    Yeah was talking to thor winslad and he went through my app over the fone and he said theres no reason why it should have been rejected. He was going to talk to the fellow who processed my app he said he cant over rule him but he will have a chat and see if he can overturn the decission . So fingers crossed. I post a reply as soon as i find out

    Copies of documents have to be signed and stamped by a garda. ( also a judge, justice of the peace )

    Dont bother your hole trying to explain yourself,anybody that has worked around the place knows what you are saying.If you applied online then you should have the confirmation email.Longest I've heard of was 4 and a half months but some of his application was incomplete so it slowed it down.Give them a ring and see,it wont do no harm and they are very friendly.
    As for the wiring side of things,industrial and commercial buildings dont differ a whole lot from Ireland wise though they seemed to have less use of trunking and more use of rack and a more economical way of stacking it.Wiring codes are the same though in some panels I was wiring they had weird colour codes though it only seemed specific for the job we were on.From what I could seee in the house we were living in it seemed ancient techniques were used but it must be working for them.As is the same in Canada,you'll learn something new all the time.
    How is work going over there in Canada?Are you out in that hellhole Oilsands?

    Hi Lads, i recieved my DSB cert a couple of weeks ago but dont really know where to start to find work. Ive applied for the ICDS jobs advertised on FAS and thats about it.In Jan i will be doing BOSIET & MIST offshore courses which i hope will help.Do you guys think it would be worth going to Aberdeen to get Compex training?
