Is it possible to do the video interview using an iphone? I don't have access to a laptop with a webcam.

Taken from the last email I received: If you want to take your video interview on a mobile device, such as an iPhone, iPad or Android device, click on the interview link to download the video interview app. Once the app has been downloaded, simply click on the link in this email again to get started.

Hey guys, for anyone still to do the video interview, I did it today and got the same questions as mentioned above.
(When I had to go the extra mile and why they should hire me)

Only takes 10 mins.

Good luck all

Is the last day to do the interview today or tomorrow night?

Just got an email saying I've been selected for interview in Dublin. Happy days:)

Rojiblancos · 27-03-2015 07:37PM

I just got an email for the assessment too but I assume not having a full licence at this stage will result in my application being struck off. It was on the list of initial requirements

liv1892 · 27-03-2015 08:10PM

I got one there!! Amazed to be honest because I did horribly in the video interview!!

thekopend · 27-03-2015 09:38PM

Got one too. Handy to be able to pick a date!

HoggyRS · 27-03-2015 09:49PM

Got one too, is it an interview or a test? My definition of an assessment is an exam like bit confused here!

liv1892 · 28-03-2015 02:07PM

Anyone know where in Dublin is the place?

thekopend · 28-03-2015 02:40PM

I think its in hq. They will send on another email id say. I must look back through the thread and see what the 2011 assessment was all about

liv1892 · 30-03-2015 09:42AM

Anyone know if we can change the date we selected?

jrobertos · 30-03-2015 12:44PM

Any idea who to contact in relation to more info on the course. Like course content, location of training, salary during and after training etc. Hard to find information online or is it just me

focusowner · 30-03-2015 12:47PM

Guys when we did the assessment 3 years ago it was in a suite in the citywest hotel where you had to re-sit an apptitude test to prove you didnt have help when you did the first one

Then we had group exercises on tasks where teamwork was required but it was also your moment to shine and show them how good you are as an individual but dont take over completely use your initiative

Rgdajd · 30-03-2015 09:50PM

Wel lads in the same boat me self , thanks for the info so far and best of luck to anyone going forward , has anyone an idea on the wages during training , I have been told that the on the job wages are decent enough 35-40k? Anyone of this opinion too?

I would say give them a ring in HQ and look for Hr or personnel, shouldn't be much of a problem but not ideal looking , try stick with ur first choice if Ya can , don't draw any unwanted attention on yourself , best of luck.

thekopend · 30-03-2015 10:05PM

The training the last time i think started in hq in dublin for a few weeks then portlaoise or somewhere. On the job training in the 2 years could be anywhere. The apprentice pay was 19k the first year then 20 odd second year not sure. Then 28k when finnished apprentice but it goes up and its a good secure job for 30 years if you want it.all this might not be 100 percent accurate as could be different now but is a good idea

The training last time started with 3 days in hsq then we were paired up with technicians for on the job training and experience and then brought in for our different courses over the year - im not sure whether the format we were put through is being repeated but it will probably be fairly similar
Courses included
Electrical principles
Fibre optic splicing
Customer service. Etc etc

I couldnt tell you it will all depend on where they need people - when we were being taken on we were told it was east coast only

Does anyone know by end of apprenticeship what the chances are of being located near home?

focusowner · 04-04-2015 12:21AM

Most of the last group that were taken on were working from home after just a few weeks into the apprenticeship

liv1892 · 04-04-2015 08:51AM

Is the training in Dublin on for long?

focusowner · 04-04-2015 09:16AM
