Kelly@s rang me today regarding the same job as an Overhead linesman.

ive installed aerials and satellites and worked for AVC and Fujitsu on the Virgin contract. But not sure what to expect about this position.

Hi everyone, just been reading a lot of posts, I've been BT poling for over 17 years for contractors never for BT, I've been trained and accredited in all aspects of poling, cabling, d side plus e side etc of BT works, I'm a accredited BT planner etc, the trouble is if I worked for BT I'd never get half the jobs I'd been given done but I have by different methods, all to FEQ rules. I'd never work for mj quins but I have for Kelly's,
I can't understand why someone who is already trained to BT standards is needed to complete a Kelly's course then get charged for something that they already know, when I left, I got deducted monies for training purposes for training...............
I still work on the BT network for poling if interested contact me on foxey33@hotmail.co.uk

So I got my results I was successfull but no position in my area right now so im waiting.. Interestingly though i recieved an email on friday from feedback@openreach saying thanks for your interest but we will not be processing your application further

called tham and apparently it was a mistake? anyone else had this happen and roughly how long do you stay on a waiting list for?

AudiOdane · 12-09-2014, 05:34

Wow congratulations to anyone who has been successful, recieved my contract offer this week after a call to confirm I had been offered an 18 month contract.

Im ex BT Retail and looking forward to joining OR and carve out a career.

Anyone starting 3rd November in Stone Yarnfield, been there for a H&S course and plan to stay over even though I live kind of local.

To anyone who wasnt successful or on a waiting list dont give up.

Yep happened to me. Got a date for an interview with only 4 days notice. . Then an email to say that as my apt test result was not in the highest I was on a waiting list. Then an email to say it was a mistake. By this time id remembrred why I jacked bt in after over 20 years and didnt bother going.
