Does anyone know who conducts the interviews. I'd it a third party or Openreach managers.

I got a date for an interview, but dont think I should waste their time. Virgin pays much more than this

Also completed the dreaded mechanical reasoning test on the 6th June! Heard nothing yet a guy I know got an interview for the 10th July. He ran out of time and failed to answer some of the MR test, perhaps that is what they are looking for! Also the EIN he gave is the manager in the town conducting the interview, probably cuts more sway than the lowly frames engineer position I had for 3 years! Anyway Openreach your 14 working days are up slackers so put me out of my wait!!

Sounds like a good shout actually now that I think of it. Instead of rushing through difficult jobs maybe they key was to take your time and think about every situation and not to rush through just to get finished. It did say take your time on the test. Maybe i'm thinking too much into it. What area did you apply for out of interest?

Biggest laugh on the MR test was where it stated: Recommended time to take this test = 15 Minutes, then states: You have 10 minutes to complete this test!! Either they made a typo or stole 5 minutes from me haha

Any thought? Yes. Have you read this thread? Why would you go and work for Quinns now? We've talked about how BT are taking on thousands of staff. I've spoken to Quinns people in some areas who are now struggling to get enough jobs due to this. You can also see from this thread how much a lot of people hate working there.
