    It was for sales in the main building in Dublin.
    Went through 4 individual interviews over 2 hrs.
    So be prepared to talk a lot!

    Did you apply for the same position?

    Hi guys, just noticed the vacancies on the Sky website and I've a few questions.

    Do you need any sales experience to work as a sales advisor?

    If I do, then it'll be a service advisor role for me, but what's the starting pay for both sales and service?

    What's it like to work with Sky? This won't have any bearing on whether I apply or not just a matter of curiosity.

    What knowledge should I have if I get an interview?

    I'm sure I'll have more but I can't think off the top of my head. Feel free to PM me if you've any info on these.

    Not sure if sales experience is definitely needed, as you would go through 8 weeks training, but the experience would certainly help you with your application.

    Nope, none whatsoever. It helps of course, but the 2 months training should mean you'll hit the ground running.

    If I do, then it'll be a service advisor role for me, but what's the starting pay for both sales and service?

    22k as far as I know but the incentive potential is insane.

    What's it like to work with Sky? This won't have any bearing on whether I apply or not just a matter of curiosity.

    I love it. Great bunch of lads. Hit your targets and everything will be grand

    What knowledge should I have if I get an interview?

    Product knowledge, innit?

    I'm sure I'll have more but I can't think off the top of my head. Feel free to PM me if you've any info on these.

    Firstly, you have to apply online from the link below;

    jobs.ie/SKY-Ireland/

    However, it depends on how you would go about your online questionnaire... if you clear that, you will then get a call... don't miss this call as it takes ages for you to get through to the recruitment team.... I think this probably will take about 1 or 2 days after you have completed the online questionnaire......!!!

    phone interview questions are very easy... all generic questions... for instance... what's your previous experience... why do you want to apply for this role... etc... etc....!

    I suggest you to prepare yourself before you ring them or answer their call.....!

    Best of Luck

    At this stage I would re register under a different email, apply again and do another phone interview

    Om sure this is a ridiculous question but I just want to be 100% sure. Is there parking at the hotel? I know there's none at the Sky building but is there parking for the interviews?

    Is it on in Burlington Plaza? When I went there for a day I parked over at the Ballsbridge hotel and walked over, had to pay but it only cost me a fiver for a full day. Afaik you miiight be able to get street parking across the road from the building but there's only so long you can stay there. Someone else may know more about that than me.

    Ah don't mind me then, I haven't a clue! Thought they might have been holding them in the actual call centre building.

    Burlington is handier, on street parking is fine but if you go over 3 hours and don't top up you will get clamped!

    Had my first interview today. Went really well in my opinion but sure we'll see. One thing I will say is that their process is brilliant. The three interviewers were excellent, very friendly and helpful. Felt I repeated myself a Little. If I don't get through it'll be my own fault, I just hope all other interview processes are of such high standard!

    I asked about the day to day duties and responsibilities, one of the interviewers just said 'do you play table tennis?' :D sounds like a really great place to work!

    I'd say you'll hear back by the end of today or early tomorrow whether you advanced to the 2nd stage

    Best of luck :)

    Sent an application last night after reading this thread and got an instant no this morning because I failed the questionnaire apparently.

    Normally that wouldn't bother me but I have worked for Eircom in the exact same role, have another 2 years sales experience in retail and a finance degree. I feel they didn't even take the time to see that.
