Eircom Graduate programme 2015

RobbieHawkins

Did many apply this year?
I applied to the accounting and finance graduate programme. Got to the video interview stage and I'm waiting to hear back if I made it to the assessment centre

I am on the other graduate stream, I had my video interview on the 12th of March and confirmed my assessment centre date yesterday! Best of luck with yours, hopefully you hear back soon.

Hey did they ring or email you to let you know? congrats!

SeanieOg3011

Hey oonagh991 they emailed me from the generic Eircom email and then gave me a link so that I could book which time I was available for assessment which was great. Did you hear anything yet?

oonagh991

Hey nothing yet either way! But my video interview wasn't the best, I did send it in 3 days later than you so maybe but I'm guessing not at this stage, good luck in the assessment centre

Hi all,

I too have received an invitation to the assessment centre in April. Does anybody know if Eircom will let us know what the assessment centre will consist of?

They mention somethings in their FAQ on the graduates page but its quite vague. Hopefully they'll send on some info soon.

RobbieHawkins

So Eircom rang me today saying they had technical difficulties and that they didn't mean to send me a rejection e-mail ( I got no e-mail). They invited me to an assesment centre in a few weeks. Would love to get a bit of information on what is expected of us.

cfs2012

Anyone found any info besides the FAQ no?

RobbieHawkins

No, and I'm in the assessment centre tomorrow for the finance stream. Don't know how to prepare :-/

cfs2012

oh no I was half tempted to email to ask for more information but then I thought that might look bad :P I'm sure you'll be fine though

RobbieHawkins

We'l give it a go sure :-) best of luck

cfs2012

Let us know how it goes please

How was the assessment centre? what did it entail?

RobbieHawkins

It was tough enough. I had to do a group discussion a presentation and an interview.

Pretty intense. Hope it went well. Was presentation on a topic they presented you with?

RobbieHawkins

Yes you are given information so just have to think on your feet really you can't prepare for it. Best of luck

I confirmed my date in the assessment centre any Idea what might come up and is there any interview or is that the next stage after you pass the assessment thanks

Did anyone hear anything yet following the assessment day?

cfs2012

I haven't anyways. Dunno is that a bad sign or what but I know several grad programmes take weeks to get back.

tartan24

No news is good news, as they say 😊

RobbieHawkins

It's been over two weeks since my assesement day so Im pretty sure Iv been rejected

cfs2012

Some of my friends who got graduate programmes didn't hear back for 3 weeks so stay positive

blueandwhite

Anybody hear anything yet?

tartan24

Still waiting to hear from them too. Has anyone gotten onto them to find out when they will let us know? I assume they'll let us know even if we've been rejected. The wait is killing me!

Hey Guys,

Just jumped on here to see if anyone on this will be working with me next year... Got notification from them last Friday..

cfs2012

I got a call too that they would be in touch this week again but nothing yet this week!

@Ianm2431 & Clairefen21
Hi guys did Eircom confirm that you were successful or did they just say that they'd be in touch with further news? I haven't heard anything at all so I presume I was unsuccessful (just want to know if I should hold out a tiny bit of hope / forget it altogether). Thanks

Looks like you'll be working by yourself

cfs2012

John, they just said that I performed well and that I would hopefully hear from them again this week but never heard anything so hopefully we'll all hear something the start of next week.

johnwalshcork

@Clairefen21
Thanks for the reply. Do you mind me asking, did you contact them to find out how things had gone or did they call you?

Ianm2431

No they just called and said i'll receive a job offer/contract in the post over the next two weeks (this week and next).. 'blueandwhite' looks like i wont be working by myself.

cfs2012

They contacted me, I never contacted them!

cfs2012

Did anyone hear anything this week?

Ianm2431

Ya I got my contract. How bout you Claire? Work buddies??

cfs2012

No I haven't got mine yet! **** 😆 when did you get it?

johnwalshcork

I never heard anything from them since the assessment day (classy guys) so I'm resigned to missing out. @Clairefen: you have, so I'm sure you'll receive news in the next few days

cfs2012

Hi John,

Ya I don't know though as on the phone they said in the next week and it's now the 3rd week and nothing. If they rang me to tell me they would be in touch and then it ends up being nothing I'm going to be so dissapointed! It's bad form they didn't get back to you though at all

KatieR92

Hey guys I did my assessment on April 16th and I got a phone call today saying I got the job. Just wondering if anyone else got the general business programme? 😊

johnwalshcork

@KatieR92: Wow thats interesting, well done, Did you only hear from them today?
@Clairefen21: Any further news? I presume you'll be hearing something this week.

KatieR92

@johnwalshcork Thanks! Ya got a phonecall off them yesterday, thats the only time I've heard from them since the assessment centre. They just said I was succesful and that I'd be getting my contract in the post. They seem to be contacting people at completely different times its strange!

RobbieHawkins

Didn't even get a rejection e-mail :-/

cfs2012

Its worse when they call you telling you you did well and they'd be in touch the following week, and then never get back to you.

Probably won't let people know until all contracts signed. Companies do that all the time, not caring if you're left dangling

johnwalshcork

Pretty shoddy behaviour nonetheless. Claire, hope you're on the phone to the recruiters giving em hell

cfs2012

I just got a call from them asking if I'm still interested and they said they were calling everyone when I asked. They said the process has gone on longer than they thought and it should be finished by next week but she didn't want to give me an exact time. Not able for all this uncertainty like.
