can anyone in the know tell me...do the tech jobs come along very often? I'd be very interested in doign that side of things as i'm a techy anyways lol.

If you go the Hirepoint site and apply, they will call you back. They take people on every few weeks.

Anyone know whether hours at the weekend only come up much?

I applied for a part time position to be told it was no longer available, even though it was advertising Sat & Sun on the hirepoint site still???

I'd like to do the job, but can't make the 4.30pm start time in the week, as I currently work a full time job and don't get home till 6.30pm, I could certainly hammer part time hours over the weekend though.

Any advise on this would be much appreciated.

TIMEWASTED ????????

Hi there, just to let you all know I have just spent the best part of a week applying to Teletech for a homeworking position. I passed all the online tests and my PC passed all the techical issues once I purchased a router, cost £20.00. I have just been informed after having a telephone interview last Friday that quote "although we were impressed with your credentials, we will be pursuing other applicants at this time" No other explanation supplied in e-mail. What everyone needs to be aware of if going for this, is the huge amount of time involved in applying plus the extra costs that you may incur to get through the tests. Personally I am very surprised and disappointed not to be offered a position as I passed all the necessary tests (confirmed by e-mail).
This has been a massive waste of time for me and it has certainly cost me financially as a result. BE WARNED of all the above if you decide to proceed.

Good luck to you if you decide to go ahead.

Same with any job you apply for though, isnt it?

Hiya guys,

Having passed the online assessments last week, I had my telephone interview with a Teletech recruiter yesterday.

She called me back a couple of hours later, to let me know I had the job! :j

I now have to print off / complete / fax off the 'Background Check' form..and this has made my heart sink

Do any of you know just how thorough this check is?

I have a Police Caution from April 2004, but as it's a 'Caution' and the form only asks about 'Unspent Convictions', I can legally tick the 'No' box can't I?

Also, my other concern is that in the small print at the bottom of the Experian Background Check form, they say, that they'll do a Credit Check too *sigh*

I still have 2 Satisfied Defaults (dropping off next Feb), 1 Satisfied CCJ (not dropping of for another 4 years yet), and 1 Discharged Bankruptcy (dropping off in January '09) :eek:

I'm so worried that because of this, once they do the check, and it all shows up on my Experian file (which it's bound to, as I've seen it on my credit file online with Experian), Teletech will then withdraw my job offer

One final worry is regarding the references. My last employer of many years was my Dad (which I told her during the interview). Can I put him down as a referee? Also, how do they contact them for a reference? By email / phone / letter?

Have any of you had similar concerns / know how in - depth their checks / references are?

I really need this job!

Any advice would be most appreciated.

Many Thanks,

Leigh.

Any ideas anyone?!

(Just posted this next to your other query but thought I would put it here too so you would see it!)

Hiya,

I work for teletech in the sales job too. When I first started I had problems with the credit check as I had two outstanding CCJS. I made sure I mentioned it in the application pack and when they were found during the credit check I just had to prove that I was currently paying them back through a debt management company or other arrangement and then everything was fine.

As long as they are spent or you are dealing with them then you should be ok.

They are a good company to work for and I really enjoy it!

Good luck,

H
