    So far I've filled in the application at the Hire Point website, completed the Technical and Skills Assessments, received the Work Booth CD (twice) and confirmed, by email, I will attend the online Group Information Session next Tuesday.

    I haven't had any telephone interviews atall yet.

    That sounds all fine, you wont have a 1-2-1 interview till after getting
    past the group meeting stage.

    Bandwidth is basically the speed available to you on your package, what speed are you physically getting? Do you take service from Sky at all? If you get Sky tv then you can get Sky BB probably. May be worth looking around at your BB options to see if you can get a better deal.
    Also have you tried running the test while nothing is running on the pc at all? Make sure no P2P software, email software, chat client etc are running.

    I also have had all of the above except the workbooth cd. Haven't been told i'm being sent one.

    Maybe you have got mine! I am thinking about going to the meeting on Friday but will clarify with them tomorrow. (Send the email first thing)

    You can use a cordless phone but remember to charge it up first! The meeting that I attended lasted over an hour.
    You do need to use the computer that you used to complete the workbooth disc I think because you need to be able to link into their meeting place. There should be a link to the meeting place in the email that you will get the day before the meeting. I think that's how it works anyway.
    Good luck!
