40 hours a week , various shift patterns , but your day is made of minutes , and its job and knock , you finish your jobs early , you go home ,

Wages are £16,500 basic but with bouns you can earn £23000 as the website states , but you can earn alot more ;)

I got a confirmation email more or less as soon as i sent off the online application, don't know how long I'll have to wait to hear about any jobs, but thinking about it if they have been advertising on the back of their vans then I reckon they will be getting a lot of interest.

Dont loose heart , they can take along time guys , the first time i applied id forgotten all about it even given up on it , then got a phone call out the blue about 2 months later . They seem to do it in batches , they will be an assesment day, where you will have medical . interveiw , multiple choice question test , practical making a dish , etc then they will choose who they want , get rid of the rest , then so on and so forth till they have filled the vacancies for that area

like has been said above there are adverts for jobs on the vans , This one is a massive recruitment drive ( there must be something new in the pipeline ;) )

they have to process so many applications , which are then sorted into areas , some areas are a priority , which is why you could apply the same time as someone else but they will here something before you do ;)


Im glad i posted this up , i did think twice i must admit , cause i know alot of people have a negative view of Sky , im glad its created a bit of interest and to everyone who has applied i wish you the best of luck ;)

kinda excited and a little worried about this telephone interview, god only knows what I'm going to be asked!
hopefully the fact Ive got around 5 years + experience in data cabling, just recently finished a city and guilds in electrical installation, used to working both alone and with small teams and am more than willing to learn and get stuck in to a stable job will help.

only how do I show that over the phone?
wish me luck people hopefully I can pull it off as my Bug project could really do with a healthy injection of cash!
