Prepare the same as he would for any interview I would say. Dress smartly, have some knowledge about what the job entails, be confident etc.

martin82 · 03-05-2012 1:55pm

thinking of handing out my CV to Call Management International seen them advertising on a few sites, anybody know anything about them I didnt know they even existed ? heard its all cold calling ?

SheFiend · 03-05-2012 5:52pm

interviews were held for that place last week, but you may as well throw in the cv in case there's another round of recruiting. Likely. Hiring now for cold calling to Australia. Work hours are something like half four am to half 11.

I heard that too if you hit your targets the money can be up around that. Maybe it is true but I'd question how easy would it be to hit your targets.

I think if people were looking for call center work I would try eistech, they might not pay overly much but I heard its a good working environment.

It's a slave camp.

Early morning 4.30am – 11am dont think I could do that for call management international. You'd be bored off your head the rest of the day aswell

I guess if you can stick getting told to "fack off" by dozens of australians every day then it might be worth it for some.

call management international.
A lad I know worked for them for a week, first 2 days were trial and unpaid, he handed in his notice at another part time job ( which he was unable to go back too) and after a week was told he had failed to make enough sales ( he had made 2) and they let him go he's back on the dole now, he was given the pitch that the job was easy and if he was any good at it a trip to Austrialia was available to the best etc...

The companies at Arclabs are finding it very difficult to find qualified & experienced workers for these roles.

I don't know if any of you heard but I've been told that Bausch & Lomb are taking on brand new general ops and that previous factory experience isn't at all necessary. So if you're out of work and fancy making good money, do up a good cv and cover letter and hand them in. There would be an aptitude test but I can't imagine it'd be too taxing.

Strange, it says on the website that there are no jobs available at all in the Waterford Plant! Do you think it would be worthwhile going in there personally and just handing in a CV?

Can't do any harm anyway. I'm out of work at the moment so only heard from someone who heard from someone, you know? But there was definitely talk that it was going to happen a few weeks ago. Could be that they've enough CVs taken in but I don't know that jobs are advertised on that site much anyway.

Usual tips apply. Be presentable even if just handing in a CV. Make sure it's well laid out. Put it in an A4 envelope with a cover letter and make sure they're not folded. All the things to ensure your CV isn't rejected out of hand.

niallo76 · 13-05-2012 10:25am

i work out in B&L and there was aptitude tests held on-site last week-i think that they use a recruitment agency to handle cv's-but sure get in contact with them all the same-and best of luck to anyone who wishes to apply-been there 9 years and it's not the worst place in the world to be fair

I handed in a CV there on friday but if you could would you be able to find out what agency they use??

callaway92 · 13-05-2012 3:42pm

Thanks. I might make the spin out to Waterford during the week. No harm in trying. Been out of work since Mid March myself and it's getting to be a bit of a grind here at home.

Doylers · 15-05-2012 9:19pm

Handed one in myself, really nice looking place inside I must say.

kensutz · 15-05-2012 9:27pm

Worked there for 9 and a half years and can't say a bad thing about the place. Once you get around shift work, you're flying. Was half tempted to reapply at one stage.

Yeah have to agree Ken. I'm there 5 years now and am happy out. If you're ok with shift, you get well-rewarded for it and not just in pure financial terms. You get your scheduled breaks, decent holidays, free doctor etc. Really not a bad place to work.

mufcboy1999 · 16-05-2012 2:30am

Just spotted this there , is it too late too hand in a cv to B & L ?

Cheers

Whereabouts in Waterford is it actually? I'm going tomorrow. Would only be familiar with the City - Cork Road. also Dunmore road and Tramore road

If coming from the Cork side, take the left turn into the industrial estate at John Kelly Car Sales, opposite Sheridan's. Follow the road around and you'll see it on your left. Big brown building, impossible to miss.

Other than that, just get into the estate and check out any of the signs that have maps on them.

What did you apply for exactly? Sure look my brother whos a carpenter and never sold anything in his life, gets annoyed really easily and can barely use a computer got offered a job in sales out there :rolleyes:

uppishhauk · 16-05-2012 3:13pm

the positions are for smartphone customer care so no sales, there is full 4 weeks training so I think the interviews are more to see your personality than your knowledge or experience

Know two other people who never got a call either from them. I had an interview for one of those FAS internship jobs and never got a phone call back. Ended up getting an email just fairly ignorant in my opinion.

CharlieButton · 16-05-2012 7:49pm

Was told that they dont really bother with cvs that are emailed in, they respond faster to ones handed in supposedly

Doylers · 16-05-2012 7:51pm

The way that office is setup how could you had one in last time I was their they didnt have a reception I walked in n stood there until someone came over :rolleyes:

CharlieButton · 16-05-2012 8:07pm

any tips on what they ask if so?

uppishhauk · 16-05-2012 8:12pm

yea, the interviews was mainly questions like

can you give an example are you did X

or

If X happened, what would you do

membersonly · 16-05-2012 8:34pm

Don't tell them you did X anyway...

I'm surprised that Eishtec are going that route because its a mistake they've made already. The took on a bunch of people with no call-centre experience, then a few months ago they hired a heap of ex-talktalk people because they found that having knowledge and experience is handy.
