Working as a tech for VM - Page 3

There is nothing sinister in the trackers - they have been fitted to allow dynamic routing of jobs, a duty of care to know where field techs are in the field.... people need to stop taking a dark view!!

Good luck to those who have applied - we need more upbeat, dynamic and enthusiatic guys out there dealing with customers!!

With regards to dress code smart casual is fine for open day... shirts, ties, suits not required.. but wouldn't suggest jeans and trainers.

I don't know the detail of on the day.... but it will not be difficult or complex... just be yourself... think about past achievements and customer interaction... a basic technical knowledge is required as is a diagnostic style of thinking.

As I say good luck to all!!

How long do you usually have to wait for the assessment? I passed my telephone interview about three weeks ago and i am starting to get a bit worried that they have forgotten me!!

the trackers are very sinister and they are not being used for dynamic tracking
