How did the telesales interview go?

[whiskygalore]

Well - it lasted THREE hours for a start! It was a group interview with 8 people, which my agency didn't tell me, we had to do role plays (cringe) and the product we'd be selling is the broadband package for one of the major ISPs - which I have and it's cr@p. So, not exactly bundles of fun, but it's made me certain that I'm not going to take it unless they offer me buckets of cash. But cheers for the insight - made me a bit more prepared.

sounds like a horrible job. How did the essay go?

Whiskey hope you don't me butting in, I read your previous post. I work in a telesales company, in fact I'm sitting facing/therefore having to listen to the sales team all day. We sell advertising space. The advantages are having fantastic incentives, we have DVD players, weekends to Paris plus cash bonuses, plus commission. But it is so hard, you have to be very thick skinned, and a VERY postive attitude (so you don't get despondent when things aren't going well). Generall we have a very good time and we are always recruiting......Oxfordshire based company. Anyway good luck! any questions feel free to ask...

Role playing - ermm, nice!! :) Well, I hope it goes okay and you do get lots of buckets of cash. :)

I think my essays went OK woodpam, still waiting for results though, so I may be wrong. No doubt I'll make exactly the same mistake next year and leave it all to the last minute!
