Re: I have a job interview tomorrow with virgin media for a cable guy
Dont panic PJ, they say at the induction that your start date depends on the replies coming in from your referees, you should contact the referees and make sure they have recieved / responded to the request. They quoted us one apprentice who's referee was too late responding and they offered the next in line the position. Use the in-between time to brush up on your smile to the customers

No I havn't gave any referees yet as they havn't asked yet I think they ask for this in the 'just checking ' forms which I havn't received yet . They said at the induction that the start sate would be the 6th September so still plenty time left I suppose

Re: I have a job interview tomorrow with virgin media for a cable guy
Hi all,
Glad I found this thread. I passed my 2 phone interviews this week and have my assessment say this Friday in Nottingham.
The one question I have is on the subject of the presentation I keep reading about. In my confirmation email, I can't see any mention of having to do a presentation. Is this definately still done?

Re: I have a job interview tomorrow with virgin media for a cable guy
Well I had my assesment on 19th July and we had to do a 3 minute presentation which noone was really looking forward to least of all me. I thought every area was the same but if there is no mention of it in the email they sent maybe your area is different. Might be worth calling the recruitment team and asking them
good luck

Re: I have a job interview tomorrow with virgin media for a cable guy
Just thought i'd post a small update.
Friday went fine. There was no 3 minute presentation. The guy in recruitment told me this has now been scrapped. We did the usual thing of watch a video/presentation then we had to do 3 exercises, 2 of them involved other members of the team you had been put in and the last was a practical cabling test. Finally there was an interview.
I genuinely enjoyed the day, i found the exercises to be fun and met some really great people.
I can't help feeling that I probably haven't got it though. Assessment was Friday and it's now Tuesday. Even though yesterday was a bank holiday, I suspect the successful candidates would have found out today. It's been a long 3 days, spent 99% of the time staring at my phone, hoping it would ring.

Re: I have a job interview tomorrow with virgin media for a cable guy
Chin up mate always plenty more employers out there if you don't get it. My assesment was on the Monday and I got the phone call on Wednesday. Finally start on Monday, it's been a lot of waiting between getting the job and my start date (bout 6 weeks) looking forward to Monday now

Re: I have a job interview tomorrow with virgin media for a cable guy
Cheers d3ranged, actually quite annoyed the whole presentation thing has been scrapped now, and to think of all the time and effort and nerves i put into the bloddy thing for them to scrap it a couple of weeks after i do mine is beggers belief, anyway i actually had a tech out at ma house changing my modem today so i bombarded him with questions about the job, think he was glad to get away to be honest haha Ill keep you updated

Re: I have a job interview tomorrow with virgin media for a cable guy
how long after you have a phone interview do you find out if you are successful in getting through to the assessment day? and if you're not successful do they tell you?

They contact you nearer to the assesment date and tell you to come along or that the vacancy has been filled
