Eircom apprenticeship

Does anyone know if we need to bring any paper work to the interview such as C.Vs or exam results etc?

No, I brought stuff just in case but they only ask you about stuff on your original application and maybe a few other things.
I may be wrong but if you get the job they might want copies of your leaving and any other certs you said you have.

Thank you .. is there anyway we can get our application online before the interview to go over what we said? I can really remember what the application entailed as its seems like such a long time ago

If you log onto the Eircom apprentice webpage you should be able to get a copy of it there's no problem. I would defiantly go over that and be familiar with everything you put on it. If you were working before get at least 3 or 4 examples of customer problems and time's when you solved a problem etc. for every job/volunteer work you had

Thanks for the advice, but unfortunately i have followed your steps and am unable to find my application once i have logged in??? :O

when you log in you should see a box that says, application reference and stage, under application it should say Eircom apprenticeship. If you click that it should download a PDF copy of your application.

Thanks a million

had my interview recently ...

anyone who's worried, don't, was fairly informal chat if anything else, structured around the usual interview questions... was in there just over an hour I think, two person panel,

pointers for anyone who still has to do it,

-know about Eircom, what they do, what sectors they have business in, number of users etc...

-read up on the usual HR type questions, teamwork, examples of using your initiative, times of conflict, customer service questions the STAR format was mentioned earlier on in the thread, and links to the standard type HR questions, PLEASE have a look through this

-know about the program, it show's your interested and will give you talking points/ questions to put to the panel

-I seen mention earlier technical topics being discussed, don't worry if you don't have loads of technical experience or anything, even simple stuff like setting up your WIFI at home, wiring plugs, setting up sound systems etc... they just want to see that you have an interest in technology and are keen to mess about with it, and not some dude who writes poetry and is looking for a job stop gap ....

-show interest in Eircom, the program, and you're intentions of staying there after the program, again, they're not looking for stop gap people

- try not do yourself the injustice, and be nervous, everyone gets nervous, but try not let it impeade your interview, they're nice people and aren't out to catch you out, they just want to know more about you if anything else....

last of all, best of luck to everyone, from what I make out, there's a 1 in 2 / 1 in 3 chance of landing a job if you got as far as the interview stage.

Hello everyone, had my interview recently and to be honest im not to sure how it went, i kind off got the impression that i didnt no as much about the technical side of things as i should of. Did anyone else find this?
