Tips for Eishtec interview

    Applied for Eishtec a few days ago and got a phone call back today. Basically had a semi-interview that went bad in my opinion.
    I've never had an interview before so I got a bit nervous and could hardly answer the questions she asked.

    The woman was asking me what do I know about Eishtec etc.. And I was basically like "Umm it's a call centre... To do with smart phones."

    She asked about past jobs and what were the difficult parts etc, and do I have a smart phone and laptop and what do I use them for.

    She also asked what kind of pay am I expecting and my dumb reply was "umm I'd be ok with anything really", then I explained to her how I'm currently on jobseekers and it's not ideal.

    She said would I be have the time for 4 weeks of training and I said yes. At the end of the call she said she would let me know when the next round of actual interviews are and that was it.
    She didn't sound to hopefully about me though... Or I could just be paranoid.

    So basically I'm asking what have people's past experiences with interviews with Eishtec been like?
    What type of questions do they ask in the actual interview?
    How likely am I to get a call back?

    I really do want a job... I've applied for a lot of places that I know full well I would be good at... But I know my interview skills are my downfall and I don't want that to affect my chances of getting a job of be good at.

    If you want the job so much why didn't you 5minutes research, you aren't working at the minute so you realistcally could have taken 8hours out of your day to make sure you were well prepared.

    I've been asked this question at every interview I've ever been to. Find out:

    What they do
    When the company was founded
    How many employees they have
    Who there customers are (business to business or retail)

    and you have the question nailed.

    I was caught a bit off guard didn't expect the phone call and didn't expect to be asked questions over the phone I always assumed theyed ask those face to face... Hope to god I will get a call back then study some questions and answers.

    Still though.. I have a feeling no matter how much I learn off to answer the questions I'll still end up drawing blanks when it comes to the real thing :/
