Welcome to the forum

Did they say that was a national thing or just your area which is Wales (judging by your location).

I'm going to give them a few days and drop them a call, makes you wonder why they are doing all the phone interviews now if the assements locations aren't even sorted, by feb poeple could have found other jobs so it does seem odd do do all the phone interviews straight away.

She didn't say , I suppose it depends how many interviewees there are at the moment.

Perhaps there are not enough applicants at this stage to warrant booking an assessment date.

Still not heard about passing my 2nd interview. Perhaps you could confirm the contact number I have is right Forcefire? The last 4 numbers are 1472.

anyone know anything about the assessment day. i'm guessing the colour blindness test must be first. would be pointless doing anything else if your colour blind!

Weird things are going on with my application. I still havent heard back from them about my first phone interview but today i looked at my application on their jobs site. I have been withdrawn from the south london apprenticeship. Also, the north london apprenticeship (i applied for both north and south london apprenticeships) has been changed to field service technician (17k - 22k). Anyone have any clue whats going on?

Maybe my CV was just so good that they have put me in for the Field service technician? lol

JayJay · 20-01-2010, 23:03

Can someone please PM me with the number you was provided with? Thanks very much

Phoned Virgin today to enquire about why the job i had applied for has changed. They had cocked it upand have changed it back. I also found out that i did the interview for Service field technician and passed!! Well chuffed. Just got to wait now and see when my next interview is (or by what she was saying on the phone, i get invited to the open day)

What they want are people who are customers focused,flexible,work hard,(like any company) has initiative, customer focus,fun,enthusiastic,customer focused. Really push this on all contact you have with VM.

Supposed i'd better leave VM after writing that then!

In speaking to them and doing the phone things I get the impression they are customer focased, maybe after all the years of bad rep cable companies have gotten they are trying to turn it around.

I must admit a team made me laugh recently, one of my neighbours was getting cable installed and a van turned up, an older bloke and a young lad were in it, while the older bloke was inside the young lad was stood by the van hitting himself on the head with some cable. I stood laughing untill the older bloke came out and saw this and gave the young lad a real yelling at which made me laugh even more. The sight of this lad hitting his head with cable still makes me laugh when I think about it.
