Re: telephone interviews..........
well got the phone call and the response was.............you were 'exceptional at your communication skills' as you stated
she asked me questions such as:
if you are wrong in a situation what do you do to rectify it.
and a few others, although i have nothing 'on paper' i was 'impressive' over the phone.
interview literacy and numeracy exam aswell at 10 am wedensday!
now i hope i can pass and dont fall through on the interview

Re: telephone interviews..........
When I answer the phone I always ask how I can help, try not to raise your voice even if someone is bawling and shouting and try to be positive. PM me if you want Kronas

Re: telephone interviews..........
well its been a rollercoaster ride the past 7 days with my past illnesses coming back to haunt me and are still with me but i am fighting through them.
so wedensday arrived, i arrived an hour early at the interview so i subsequantly filled out all necessary forms allowing credit checks etc
then conforming to a english and maths test, results were shown in the interview english = excellent maths = average put pass nonetheless...
in the interview a 'role play' was devised by the interviewer where i had to sell someone a loan in a sales role and ensure i communicated verbally correctly, and noted all details that are requiered. ( note instructions were not given on 'how' to sell the loan just figures and a basic story outline)
at the end of that, moving on to actual aspects of the interview such as personal experiances of helping people, information gathering, correct information, positive aspects about promotions with other companys which i put forward off the top of my head, from food hygene to mobile phones to food processing to computers, and ofcourse team work.....
there was alot to go through.
in the end the interviewer was 'impressed' by my 'proffesionalism' and my 'off the top of head thinking' she was very suprised that i had done so well considering i have absolutely no experiance of cs or employment, qualifications, my work ethic was balanced as i showed myself as being helpful, freindly, and informative, but keeping in mind a balanced perspective of pleasing the customer as well as taking in the company's view.......
will find out later today (hopefully) if i have got it.
tbh i dont expect to get it, even though i have got this far and have proved to be worthy of the job imo due to what was commented on about my skills.
