Another real work at home job (inbound sales)

specsappeal

well had phone interview today - it lasted 45 minutes! also have 2nd telephone interview at 4pm tomorrow. The only thing is that i still cant get my technical assessments sent off. Any ideas??
I have updated java. Firewalls are switched off. Pop up blocker is disabled. I was also unable to access the meeting place for the conference call - i don't know if thats connected somehow??
in the browser test in meeting place it came up as failed and asked me to download something. I did this but it still wouldn't connect.
For the technical assessment i get to the part where it tells you to put in hirepoint id, name and address then when i press enter it goes straight back to the 'press start to begin the assessment' page. I have done it at least 30 times today and now i am past caring almost. on a couple of occassions on the technical assessment i have managed to get past the hirepoint id page and it comes up as checking my isp and tells me thats all fine. Then when i press the button to send the results it goes back to the first page again!! aaarrrggghhh!!! any help guys before i go totally mad.

If people were trying to install say, Skype or MS Office and had so many problems, they'd give up and go elsewhere. Looks like your potential employer does not feel the need to be motivated to make your software easy to use or to provide proper debug messages.

Couple of basics Specs

Are you using the latest version
of firefox for the meeting place
and also have you got the latest
version of flashplayer for firefox?

if not try the above then go see
how far you get with the browser
test.

omg what awful hours all day sat and sunday what about going out at the weekends i couldnt be stuck in front of the pc at weekends especially when it s hot and sunny want to be out there enjoying it.

Think you miss understand the post,
the hours of operation are for the whole
project, does not mean your shift will be
a full 9-6 at weekends

And of course if the hours dont suit
your life then of course you dont have
to apply

but allot of people are happy to work
weekends and have weekdays free,
what ever floats your boat as they say

I love weekdays in summer as I can do lots
of mountain biking (My Hobby) in the week
and avoid all the oneday a week wonders
on a Saturday

specsappeal ~ Im round about the same stage as you, got my 2nd interview this aft! Did ellen mention that this interview is with the client.

She said normally this doesnt happen but as its for a new client, it is! :eek:

Im dreading it, get so nervous before hand, and plus i havent a clue what questions will be asked :rolleyes:

Good luck to everyone :T

Hi Kylesmum,
about the 2nd interview, i was told that it was with senior teletech managers as the work is for an existing client (i think we all know who that is). Because it is a brand new sales department they are setting up they want to make sure that the people applying have some sort of either sales or call centre experience. the 2nd interview is all about assessing your existing skills to see if they match what they are looking for. They are not phoning me for the interview i have to phone them (via 0800 number as the managers are in Denver usa). My 1st interview was with Amy not Ellen and she said that if sales did not suit then she would recruit me for the technical department instead.
Oliver - thanks for your help but i finally figured out that my ethernet card is not supported by teletech so i will have to buy the specified Belkin usb 10/100 ethernet adapter. These have been discontinued now so have been looking around for one - the cheapest being £39 from amazon. I am not willing to buy it just in case i don't get a firm offer so will wait and see what happens after the interview and decide then whether to get it or not.

Hi Specsappeal ~ I got mixed up there i think, brand new department, i thought new client :rolleyes:

How has your interview gone? Good Luck

hi kylesmom.
The interview went very well although I was expecting to speak to one person and a completely different one was on the line. The guy i spoke to is going to be one of the sales managers and he was really friendly. Had the usual 'can you tell me a time where....' questions. He said I would hear by Wednesday but said that he would have no problem having me on a team of his (huge boost for my confidence but maybe he said that to all his interviewees).
For those interested the pay is actually £6.35 per hour and bonuses on top of that and first lot of training will start on 14th April. He also advised that finding out as much as you can about the client would be a good thing to do.
How did your interview go?? I hope you weren't too nervous and that it went well .
Just got to sort out the damn ethernet thingymajig so that my computer can pass the technical assessment.
