Sales/Marketing & Customer Service

Romans are letting agents. We rent privately but don't deal with our landlord directly.

ahhhhhhh i see - i rent too, used to be thru an agent but the Landlord got fed up paying management fees to them after i was here for a few years - now been in this flat for 11 years! - Ive only met my LL twice and the last time was about 5 years ago.

Because I used to be a Property Manager/Office Manager for an estate agents, she knows any maintenance, I will either deal with myself or call her.

Ooooooh i wish you loads of luck today - i hate interviews

I was when I went for the interview with Orange and don't think it worked. Although the woman interviewing me had judged me before we'd even sat down

interviewers tend to have an idea even before they see you whether they want you or just going thru the motions - even if you think they dont want you, use the interview as experience to learn what to do and not what to do

i had a major cold at one interview and apologised as i walked in, they were fine about it, but i kept sneezing, coughing, blowing my nose etc.

If you dont know the answer to a question or need a minute to think about it, take a sip of water (that gives you a few seconds) or ask to come back to that question - nothing wrong in that

About 100 years ago, i was one of the tutors that the jobcentre sent you to a course when you had been unemployed for a while so i know interview techniques and what is acceptable

Some of the questions I've been asked have been totally irrelevant to the job in hand

The last two jobs I've had in the Motorcycle Industry were a breeze interview wise because they asked me things specific to the role and the knowledge required.

Pinky32 · Jan 10th, 2012, 04:24 AM

some of the time they do that so that your answers are just text book answers and also to know that you can think of one thing then quickly think along another line of thought

its annoying when they do that

ive been on interviews and they ask me to role play - sod that

Faythe · Jan 10th, 2012, 04:26 AM

I did that with Orange too. Load of crap. I had to sell her a holiday. WTF?!

Pinky32 · Jan 10th, 2012, 04:30 AM

my mum went for an interview 400 years ago for the inland revenue and they asked her to sell them a pencil

she wasnt there to sell anything so does it matter if she has sales tecniques or not - sometimes these pple think their god and can do what they want in an interview

i went for an interview which lasted 2 hours and all the time i kept thinking "you talk too much" and he kept talking about why when i had my own company, did i call it what i did - im mean, whats it got to do with him why i called my company a certain name grrr so when they offered me the job i turned them down
