I'd say it will be similar to the test we done online so they can make sure we didn't get someone else to do it

Hello,

For those of you that got called for the assessment next week, the person on the phone said they would send an email with details etc...Did anyone get this yet?

MacOwen · 04-08-2011 06:44PM

No, I was told they would send on the e-mail but nothing yet.

stripe3 · 04-08-2011 07:54PM

Ah ok, we all in the same boat so. think he said it was going to be on between 1pm and 5pm on Tuesday anyway.

Any one have any ideas what it will involve on the day? Will there be interviews on Tuesday as well or would that be on a another day if u made it through.

jeddie20 · 04-08-2011 09:06PM

I'd say there would be more than one day.. I had the interview there yesterday and she said they were doing the second round next week.

Although I'm begging to, try not to worry about it yet

theres still tomorrow

stripe3 · 04-08-2011 09:13PM

Hey Jeddie,

Did u have the interview which was after the assessment day ya? Was it on in city west as well ya?

Hope it went well for you

jeddie20 · 04-08-2011 09:58PM

Oh no I just had the phone interview yesterday as I couldnt do it earlier because of work, but the woman on the phone said that the second round was next week, I took it that it was all of next week, not just one day.. maby 2 or even 3?

Lets say they bring on 100 people through to the next round with 50 jobs, they would be pushed for time interviewing 100 people in one day I rekon

stripe3 · 04-08-2011 10:04PM

Ya true that. Id say your right with the other stuff you said about maybe groups every day next week etc.

Best of luck anyway.

jeddie20 · 04-08-2011 10:25PM

You too! Might work out for everyone in this thread if all goes well

thinking positive

The guy i was talking to said group assessments problem solving then bein split up and expected to do it on our own

Followed by another aptitude test

And i wouldnt at all be surprised if we were interviewed again on the day when they do have us there in small numbers

Sounds like fun:D. When I had the phone interview I asked about the steps involved and she mentioned that the assessment day was the next stage followed by interviews. So I would imagine they are going to have a scoring system for the assessment day and those successful will be called for interview. There must be hundreds of people for the assessment days if there are more than one session a day and it being done over several days. I wouldn't say interviewing everyone from the assessment day on a more personal level is feasible. Maybe not just an opinion, out of interest did you receive there email conferring the date??? I haven't but I'd say it will give us more information.

deaglan169 · 05-08-2011 04:17PM

if its anything like the assessment days i have done for other companies, its usually a meet and greet explain the day, then split into groups and you do similar timed tests to what you did online, then you do a scenario test on your own then do the very same as a group while being oberseved, after that a short 5min interview then do some practical stuff but not sure if eircom are planning that as i believe its being held in hotel?

12 people i think per half day over 5 days or 10 days if it runs 2 weeks

arthurpenguin · 05-08-2011 08:51PM

Does anybody know if there is a certain type of dress code for the meetings next week eg. workwear, casual wear or suits etc?
Wonder how many people are left and how many stages to go after this one for the succesful candidates?

I'm 23, and I also got the email confirming the time and place but mine is in city west. Good Luck!

Geralt · 06-08-2011 11:27AM

sorry , yeah mines in city west as well. I looked at the map incorrectly, d'oh.

as for the dress code: "Dress code: neat/smart casual"

higgs23 · 06-08-2011 11:38AM

I wonder if we have to bring anything with us, as in calculators etc. There will be more information on the website Monday so hopefully this clears things a bit more.

applei · 06-08-2011 09:25PM

Hi, I got a call yesterday and have a phone interview next week, does anyone know how many different groups are been chosen. The man just said I was succesful in the first round and have been chosen for a phone interview.

I am really confused by these chaps. They seem to have multiple rounds going on at the same time. I figured they'd only start the practical after sorting out all the phone interviews..
