I've just had my telephone interview tonight, passed it but was told that I still aren't guaranteed a place on the assessment day, will find out in a few days apparently. But if I am successful then the assessment days will be held this month, so when will the successful applicants be looking to start ? When did you attend the assessment day Pauldoncaster and when was you told you had got the job ? Cheers
Just found out I've been successful been given a start date of 7th of December at the academy in Tredegar anyone else going this on

Mines on Thursday the 19th. Is your brother enjoying the job and are the targets to get to 24k sales based?
Hi, had telephone interview today and passed, received e-mail to book assessment day. Just a bit concerned that the job is actually going to turn out to be a sales job once you're in the house doing the government backed free smart meter? The activity in the group assesment seems like it's a role play to see what additional products/services you could offer a customer. Also wondering what gets you up to the 24k? Possibly these additional sales?

No his basic 8am - 4pm salary is £24k, then he gets time and half after that, he gets a set amount for being on call mon - thurs and a set amount for being on call fri night and all day sat, then time and half if hes called out, and time and half for working sat. He said all he does is fit and maintain smart meters, i asked about sales and he said something about an extra bonus, but the £24k salary isnt sales based
