Thanks for everyone's help on this thread.

I applied but my application has been declined and I am very disappointed. I've already ordered my CRB check and I bought a phone last week, so I guess I'm now out of pocket, good job my phoneline isn't costing my anything.

Spoke to someone on livehelp and they said to reapply in a few weeks, but if they don't want me now, then I can't see them wanting me then to be honest.

Hope this works out for everyone else.

Hi the same thing happen to me this week and I reapplied the following day (on wed15Oct)as the helpdesk advised me to do so. she deleted my application and the voice script so I would be able to do straight away(next day) and just yesterday got reply saying that I was successful and I accepted an interview.

She said that I failed because I was a bit casual and not that brief . This happens often, so no need to worry as they give you more chance because they need to recruit. I would say to you reapply it asap:)

I would like to know what kind of questions they normally ask for the interview- has anyone done it yet?

also are they going to give you an appointment for the interview or would they just call you just like that, I mean without advance notice.

I tried reapplying as soon as I realised I'd missed a question, but it got declined pretty much straigt away, so I assumed I wasn't allowed to reapply so soon.

Zahaara-Blue - They ring you up to give you an interview appointment. This is about 20 minutes and goes through the job, a few questions and a listening test.

rpcor2- Have you spoken to live chat regarding why your Mac is failing? My comp failed once for having a CD-ROM, I pointed out it was a DVD and resubmitted and then it failed because I had left the wireless adapter on. They are quick and helpful on the live chat facility.

As to the earning potential. I am aiming for net hourly rate of between £6-7 which I feel is very reachable. Flat rate VAT and annual accounting should hopefully make it easier for me and regarding income tax and NI I would have to pay that on any other earnings anyway so I don't really see this as an extra consideration.

watsonnicole1 - Well hope you get the PC sorted soon! I have spotted a boo-boo on my part in that I am supposed to be going to London on the final weekend of my training. Something will have to give, going to contact them about other training dates and see what happens.

I was told it was £1.20 + VAT per hour.

I have spoken to a couple of people who are taking calls, some are doing nearly 18 calls an hour. One person earnt £250 from 20 hours of calls, (still to take off tax etc).


I think as taffy mentioned, if you run a car etc going to and back from a job those costs really mount up. So hows this compares is not bad really.

I should start taking my calls end of this week.

taffy056

That would be £1.20+vat a call I think lol, not even I would work an hour for that

Yes and saving would also be made by not having to buy work clothes and shoes etc, plus I forgot to mention with the car above, MOTs and servicing costs and general wear and tear on the vehicle,

And with work, not being forced to work overtime, able to leave work on time, not going to work parties lol and last but not least no need to be nice and suck up to the boss, because you are the boss !

Sorry £1.20 + VAT per call.

dontknowwho

To everyone that has applied successfully what kinds of things did you say on your video clip if you posted one?

Thanx in advance

If it is £1.20+VAT per call then thats even better! I was going with the £1.20 including VAT.

Thanks for the info.

I too was told it was £1.20 + VAT
