    Well if your top position then get those tests done and out to them! Basically do anything they send or tell you to do as soon as you can. That way you arn't the one who is holding it up ;)

    A question for those of you already working ... should you have a quite period/time what do you do? You can't use the internet or msn can you? So what do you do? Read a book or shove the tv on?

    I would like to know from people already working for them what support they get from their at home manager and also the incentives they mention on the hirepoint website ?

    got an email tonight saying that i am invited to an online meeting for tuesday, 12pm EST.

    aaaahhhhh! the suspense! i think i will need therapy if i don't get the job! :p

    Also, 6 pounds an hour (sorry don't have the symbol on US keyboard) converts to about $11.90/hour, which is a pretty good wage for staying at home. most people in this area don't make more than $9 working a regular job.

    i'm curious, is 6/hour pretty good in the UK?

    oh! and has anyone had the unfortunate event of kids getting too noisy in background, etc? is anyone who is working able to rate just HOW strict they are on background noise? obviously we're not supposed to have any, but i don't think it's 100% avoidable! :eek:

    I'd be careful about comparing UK wages with US wages-there is NO relation. UK wages are higher than comparable US jobs across the board as our cost of living is higher in just about everything. £6ph is not a great rate by any means but for working from home with no expenses like travel, work clothes etc plus achievable performance related bonuses on top it's not bad at all.
    Yes they ARE strict about background noise and you really need to be able to shut yourself away from "domestic sound effects".

    Glad i'm not the only one thats scared to death! LOL. The way she says is it's almost like getting married :rotfl: - For better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, for the rest of your career life! LOLOL.

    Oh I haven't had my cd yet. Very odd :confused: But then she said she still hasn't recieved my technical results either. Even though I have done them more than 10 times!

    So when did she call you? Do you think you'll go for it?
    ye i'm just hoping that i don't get a divorce from my career with teletech!!!lol, REALLY want this job, it's such a long process to get hired from them isn't it?
    seems like she said exactly what your recruiter said to you, that i should think about it over the weekend and that its a very "techy" job,she said she will call on mon, so hope it goes well, wonder when there actually going to tell us when he have been hired, so far it all sort of indirect!!

    Hiya everyone. I have been following this thread with interest. I went to the online meeting on Wednesday, I then had my interview on Thursday with Lisa, but within 5 minutes of the interview ending, she emailed me straight away for references, even though she said it would be 3 business days before I would find out if I got the job. I noticed that some of you haven't been asked for references yet, is that what they normally do, ask for references before you get told if you have got the job or not?
