I sometimes dont answer withheld numbers and have missed a few important calls because of that. Most of the calls though are sales calls which does ma nut in

i work at phones 4 u. And just want to add that i know it has a bad rep. But they are trying to sort things out and make more money per year than carphone warehouse and have the capabilities to put through some really great deals and also provide the means for ppl to get 12 month upgrades. I do agree that on entering you can often be set on by alot of salesmen but lets not forget it is a business and the figures show it works.
Umm, ok, where to start...
They have a bad rep for alot of reasons, and lots of sales people jumping on you and the 'we make more money than everyone else and it shows' attitude is another.
Yes, all companies are out there to make money, some are more successful than others, but just because P4U are making more money, doens't make it a 'nice' place.
I'm filled with dread every time I have to go into a P4U store, mainly because I HATE being pounced on every ten seconds (once isn't so bad, but all the time?), but I also find it kinda funny, you guys no almost nothing about phones. I ask them a simple question and they come back with some of the most irrellevant but most sales-based answers I've ever heard.
And this isn't one store, it's every P4U store I've ever been to.
If their going to clean up their act, they need to start again, from stratch.
Back to topic, Vodafone:
I had an interview with them, face to face, and it was a compentency (spelling?) based interview. You know the type with "think of a time when you had to do X and how did you solve it and what was the outcome" style questions.
Wasn't too hard, and if you have interview experience it'll be a breeze. Wearing a suit is a good start, even though they have moderatly scruffy uniform, a suit will make you stand out (in a good way).
However, I wouldn't wholey recommend working with them, their not bad, but I've just got an unknown grudge against them

I am quite good in interviews because I can think of answers very quickly and do have quite a polite interview voice
Still waiting on them getting back to me
Taken 4 days now. Hopefully they havent forgotten about me
Wonder how many people on esato actually work in mobile phone shops?

Daedulus, at Phones4U at Merryhill they have Sales People outside the shop running after folks, I always avoid the shop by walking on the other side
I went for a Interview with Vodafones Call Centre on Broad St about 7 years ago the interview was bit strange they sat us all down to see how well we would get on as a team, me being young at the time failed, and when they asked me if I had any Questions I just couldn't think of any ..
Im sure the call centre closed down last year or long before that anyway
PC worlds interview is done on a PC so if your gonna apply to them make sure you can use a PC folks

you have to pester them!!
it's the only way to get anywhere in life.
get on their backs, remind them that you called yesterday and the day before and before that.
It shows willing and a passion to fight! oh, and be firm!
"Hiya, I had a telephone interview a few days ago, and someone was organising a face to face one for me, I've not heard anything, can you please update me as to what's going on?
ta!"
