interview for a Residential Installation Engineer with NTL..Help!
 

Hello!... Not sure if i'm in the right place?!?! I'm a new member. I have an interview for a Residential Installation Engineer tommorow (with Kelly communications) for NTL & was just wondering if you guys know what kind of questions i might get fired at me??? Heeeeeeeelp!

Thanks .:confused:

Re: interview for a Residential Installation Engineer with NTL..Help!
 

Why do you want the job? what do you consider to be your strengths & weaknesses? What do you feel you could bring to the job? Are you on the sex offenders register?

Standard questions for every decent interviewer to use, I've had them fired at me before.

Re: interview for a Residential Installation Engineer with NTL..Help!
 

I bet its

Have you a driving licence.

Have you been in jail.

When can you start.


In that order

:LOL:


Honestly tho

Just be yourself and answer truthfully anything they ask you. :tu:

I just had a interview with NTL for my new job and that took just over 1 and a half hours:Yikes:.

Split between technical and human resources questions

Re: interview for a Residential Installation Engineer with NTL..Help!
 

Sex offenders register??? Lol! Thanks for the reply. Did you get a job with Ntl with those questions's? Are the questions different if you get the interview through Kelly Communications compared to Ntl directly? Do you reakon i'd get those ''describe a difficult customer situation & how you dealt with it'' type of questions?

Thank you for the reply.

Re: interview for a Residential Installation Engineer with NTL..Help!
 

If its Kelly's then it will be a supervisor who interviews you from Kelly's. The interviews tend to be short but heavy. If you can show a ability to learn and are willing to work you should be OK.

Re: interview for a Residential Installation Engineer with NTL..Help!
 

You mean, a superviser i'd be working for would interview me??? A short interview is good!...not sure about heavy though? You mean hard questions? Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Thats not good! My mouth will freeze!

Re: interview for a Residential Installation Engineer with NTL..Help!
 

Sorry I reckon I shouldn't have answered this thread, I'm just a customer not staff :D

Re: interview for a Residential Installation Engineer with NTL..Help!
 

Heavy as in can you handle questions. Don't forget you will be asked lots when you are installing :)


Dont worry just be yourself and answer what you can :tu:

Re: interview for a Residential Installation Engineer with NTL..Help!

Re: interview for a Residential Installation Engineer with NTL..Help!
 

Depends on how many they are interviewing.

Good Luck :tu:

Re: interview for a Residential Installation Engineer with NTL..Help!
 

Thanks so much....Fingers crossed hey!...

Re: interview for a Residential Installation Engineer with NTL..Help!
 

Be prepaired for long hours at times .Good Luck :tu:

Re: interview for a Residential Installation Engineer with NTL..Help!
 

Long hours! Are there busy periods? You mean late working????

Re: interview for a Residential Installation Engineer with NTL..Help!
 

Yes sometimes you will be expected to work late now and again .I hear it is very rare but it can happen:tu:

Re: interview for a Residential Installation Engineer with NTL..Help!
 

One thing i've wondered about installation Engineers jobs...can you take your company van home with you after work or do you pick it up before shift? I really need to know that one because i have to work it around my family's need for our car!

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!

Re: interview for a Residential Installation Engineer with NTL..Help!
 

The installers in my area can take there van home.

Re: interview for a Residential Installation Engineer with NTL..Help!
 

Thats good news for me (& the wife!) ....Bill C....anything else i should do in the interview to win them over????

Re: interview for a Residential Installation Engineer with NTL..Help!
 

Most techs take there van home with them i know all ntl /map techs do :)

Re: interview for a Residential Installation Engineer with NTL..Help!
 

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.

Re: interview for a Residential Installation Engineer with NTL..Help!
 

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.

Re: interview for a Residential Installation Engineer with NTL..Help!
 

Yup - good luck indeedy :)

Re: interview for a Residential Installation Engineer with NTL..Help!
 

I didn't understand that bit????

Re: interview for a Residential Installation Engineer with NTL..Help!
 

:) Hi, Had the interview this afternoon for Residential installation Engineer....Went well. You were right Bill C, the interview was short but heavy! Handled it well though.... 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:

Re: interview for a Residential Installation Engineer with NTL..Help!
 

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.

What area are you in ?

Re: interview for a Residential Installation Engineer with NTL..Help!
 

I live in London....does points on the license affect the job????

Re: interview for a Residential Installation Engineer with NTL..Help!
 

As long as they don't stop you from driving . :)

Don't know the guy from London that does the assessments.

Re: interview for a Residential Installation Engineer with NTL..Help!
 

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?

Re: interview for a Residential Installation Engineer with NTL..Help!
 

I am not sure on pay. The test takes about 30 min's.

I am a Business support engineer and planner for NTL Business. I plan the install of fibre services and p2p Ethernet links.

Re: interview for a Residential Installation Engineer with NTL..Help!
 

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.
