alter ego

I have an interview for the above job.
Does anyone know:

The wages!
Anyone doing it - are they happy?
It is a 90 minute interview - which sounds hard work - anyone been through it?
It can be home based - do they supply internet etc?

I know I should phone and ask the contact for these details, but I am never sure how that comes over.

Cheers

Think its commision based for how many straight answers you give out.

So maybe OTE may be hard to achieve [emoji12]
 
90 minutes to lear how to say 'use your judgement' ? lol

I have no idea what the OTE is. I don't really want to attend an interview if the wages are really poor. On the other hand, I'm fed up with all the SE paperwork and grief. Maybe I'm meant to engineer a judgement:wink_smile:
 
That job would do my head in, I struggle to deal with people who are clearly stupid and in the wrong job.

I cant imagine some of the silly stupid phone calls they receive every day.

Obviously there get out is to send a link to the relevant regs/ tech buletin ect, so yes I am sure they will pay youre broadband.

I presume they run a sweep stake every week to bump,up their money. Most amount of stupid questions wins.

( above comments based on the majority of questions asked on the facebook page ) !!!

Give us non Facebook people some examples Kev please??
 
Personally.. perhaps this is just me, but I haven't memorized the entire ''gas safety, installation & use regs''

So I do occasionally like to get my £182.40 per year inc vat.. moneys worth via the handy tech support line.

Sometimes, if I'm reeeeally bored sitting in the van waiting for gear to turn up, I'll ring up and ask the most obscure question I can think of. Just coz I can.

Don't you just get the generic line....your the engineer on the ground and it's down to your judgement!
 
I gave up phoning gas safe a few years back. Never got a straight answer always up to my judgement. I was tempted to phone up with a simple question just to see what the answer was.
 
Sick pay?!?! I never got that with any company I worked for. Only statutory which may of not bothered!

Sick pays a pipe dream these days. I did go to the yard this morning to collect some bits from the stores. New core bits, long sds bits, spade bits, solder, flux, gas, heat mats. I do like that part of it!
 
Kirk does it. The wages are decent afaik.
Easier than working for a living if you can put up with the numpty calls.

You have to be able to spell support, don't bother turning up for the interview, you have failed,
 
It's never a grey area, it's just hard for some people to get their head round a fact, especially when two are arguing and the one who phones in is wrong haha
 
I don't think it's appropriate for me to make too many comments on this, what I will say is I do the job, I love doing it, I love working from home, I love having an hour for my lunch (it isn't paid, don't think anyone gets paid for lunch)
What I will say is the job won't suit everyone, and you can be home based or work from Basingstoke office, all equipment, Internet and phone line are supplied.

Humour me for a minute if you will kirk, what's the correct separation distance between two vertical selkirk roof terminals one a gas fire & one a oil rayburn?

I can type pretty quickly, and can spell really well :20:. Actually, I type away, mis-hitting (?) keys, then go back and edit. I spotted the title error, it did strike me as a minor irony, but cannot see anyway to edit it.

Kirk, you may not wish to answer this, even by PM, but is the salary okay? Is it performance related in any way?
