I've been following this thread with interest and all I can say is fair play to you all for your patience but I really can't believe none of you have picked up the phone yet and asked what's going on! I would certainly have phoned them by now personally - it shows you are keen so you've nothing to lose and will at least let you know if you might be waiting much longer if they can't give an answer over the phone.

I actually tried calling this morning... But kept getting voicemail :-(

Tuffy_totts

No one in hr to take my call but apparently selection process is still on going and hopefully well here in next few days! Apparently there is 40 positions

Super-Rush

So next week then?

What about people who will have to hand in their notice?

Julietigs

Maybe the start date isn't the 22nd now. Personally I don't have to give notice as I'm unemployed but for the people that do have to give notice you would imagine they would have to be letting them know ASAP!!

Tuffy_totts

They did say start date would either be 22 or 29 in my interview so I guess they have til Monday??

Hate the thoughts of waiting all weekend tho

aranhill

It's so frustrating!!
But we're looking at next week now anyway before we hear anything!

Julietigs

Omg it has to be next week that they let us know either way! I'm trying to think positive, only for following this thread on here I would have lost all hope!

So here's hoping for us all that we receive the good news we are looking for :-)

Were you offered the job or called for an interview?

fitzy08

She rang me saying she seen my CV on Monster and was wondering if im interested in the position....
Offered me interview this Thursday!

Super-Rush

I can see what's going on now.

They have informed those who were not successful but haven't managed to fill the 40 positions. Now they are searching the various sites online for suitable candidates.

Best of luck with the interview Fitzy.

Tuffy_totts

Very frustrating

True.

What a strange selection process.

Dozen Wicked Words

Sorry to hear the news lads, think VHI recruitment dept really need to think about their process and how it affects people.

Sorry to hear all the unsuccessful people on here....I'm having me doubts about even going for the interview now lol, they reached out to me though so I don't know. Was anybody else approached by them? I'm in full time employment already but the position at VHI does seem good. It would also involve me relocating to Kilkenny.

Any tips on interview for the Customer Service Advisor role guys?

Appreciated!

No tips really... be yourself, know some about there products, and be very customer and team focused!!

Best of luck :-)

I would love some feedback from VHI as to why I wasn't successful, and am shocked also to hear 2 other people on here were unsuccessful too, especially "super rush" as you knew at least one of your referees were contacted.

It's just so disheartening to be left waiting so long and then just to receive an email saying your unsuccessful after waiting all that time.

They are really nice two ladies! They asked me my career history from when I finished school, what do I know about vhi, what does customer service mean to me, what does working in a team mean to me, speak about a time you dealt with a difficult customer and what does flexibility mean to me! Very hard to read how it went both are very professional and didn't give anything away! Best of luck

Hey,

I also got a phone call from a woman this past Monday. She said she is from the HR department in VHI in Kilkenny and she found my CV online and gave me an interview for today. She told me to bring references, any academic stuff I think would support my application and any qualifications. She said the position was for inbound customer service calls (obviously sales will be some way included but isn't the primary focus of the role). She also said the start date is October but they haven't decided on the date yet.

I just hope that I find out soon after the interview today. I can't imagine waiting a month for a reply like some people on this board. I have another job opportunity but the VHI one seems to be a lot better.

Was anyone asked any questions that threw them off guard? I just wanna be prepared!
