Thanks Chuck fair play to ya should have the read for you starting the two weeks will fly in i'm sure

Well, this is a bit odd but should be grand nonetheless. Got a call from England today, from the referencing agency, can't remember their name. Anyway, one of my previous employers has closed since being there, and they were ringing to confirm this as they had looked online and weren't able to find out if it had or not. The chap seemed really friendly. In fact, he had rang me 5 minutes before, I missed it, but he attempted leaving a voicemail but had a sneezing fit and hung up. If he's anything to go by, the reference agency should lead to no problems for anyone else

Also, how's everyone getting on that started this week? Hopefully all good so far

burlington plaza you have it in yeah?? if so, then it is around the corner from the mespil hotel. if you take the luas on the green line, hop off at charlemount, and walk down the canal towards the mespil. its beside the EBS building.

if im right in remembering its the bewleys hotel i think!??? near alexander house that you can park at. if your driving i went down past tesco merrion and the rte buildings. turn left down by tesco. and follow the road. the bewleys (i think) is the hotel you can park at cheap and walk up the road and its on the side hand side.

Yeah, Bewleys is the next road up. I was blessed each time I had to go out there, I got parked right outside the door.

Hi everyone, how long does it usually take for sky to get back to you after your last assessment to let you know whether you have the job or not? They said 5-7 days but not sure if anyone else heard earlier?

Cheers

Exactly as Ciaran said, they'll be in touch. We heard fairly quickly as they weren't in the middle of training everyone at that stage.

j0nny2012

Cheers for the replys, hopefully it will be good news soon! Assessment was on Monday so hopefully tomorrow or Friday I will hear.

Cheers

You think having experience with sky will help at all was a field rep for awhile have good knowledge on the product and selling...wasn't really worried till I read the assessment went on for two hours

tripper63

That will stand to you for sure so i promise the two hours do go really fast it has to be said

Chuck_Norris

Best of luck jonny and wills. Don't worry, they're good at relaxing you. And the two hours should fly. It may take slightly less time than that tough. Think I was about an hour and a half for the first assessment.

Wils110

Can't help you on that one man. I went for customer advisor. Read back in the thread, and there's someone on here whose wife got the sales advisor position. Drop him a pm. He might be able to help.

Side note, meet & greet next Thursday. Finally!
