As long as the pay is good & possibly overtime is paid, i don't have a problem with long days! ( i might regret saying that!) lol!

The installers in my area can take there van home.

No matter what the problem... it'll always be working in a few hours. if its not you'll come back round within 10 minutes.

Remember that and you'll not go wrong.

Good luck RoyalBT :tu:

I think one of the best pieces of advice is "Don't panic!" Not before hand, and not when you're in the job and think you've made a hash job of it, or can't answer X question.

I have to go back later this week for a driving assesment?!?!?! Anyone know what that might consist of??? What i might be in for? If i'm back for a driving assesment, does that mean i did well in my interview?:confused:

They will ask you to drive a van over a set route and see how good or bad your driving is. And yes you must have.

Great..Really want this job but don't want that to stop me...Does the driving test take long? ...One thing i didn't want to ask in my interview (i was told its not good to ask!?!) is the salary, the interviewer said its actually self employed & the jobs get passed on to you more as you gain more experience...Any idea on the Pay? What section of work do you do with NTL:TW out of interest Bill C?

To be honest, i'm more into getting the job at the moment, its something i'm great at & i'd be happy doing. Pay is second on the list!

I would like to see myself in your position in the next few years...

Thanks for all the information guys...It prepared me for my interview today & Its calmed me down knowing a bit more of what i'm in for later this week...

Thank you.
