Encouraging a quiet individual is easier said than done, I am very quiet myself and see that people seem to overlook and underestimate individuals who come across as quiet.
CodGaming My reasons for being a quiet individual is not because I can’t talk or be sociable it’s because I prefer to compartmentalise myself and when I am at work and around people I prefer to only talk when it’s about work. But the thing is in the working world people want to be around people who they can talk to about their personal issues as opposed to work.
@@creative123style7 I don’t think Shyness got anything to do with it, it’s just preference not everyone is a talkative individual I am quite not because I can’t have a conversation but because I prefer to just keep to myself and only engage with people when I see that an individual is struggling and requires help. Everyone is different but it’s best to keep things to the point.
being prepared for things when we do not know what will be asked or attitude of interviewer, is not easy, when interviewer does not seem to appreciate answers given, why not ask interviewer what you could say differently ? if this does not succeed, then at least you are learning and using initiative, but smile and look them in the eyes, never raise your voice, couple of deep breaths and compose yourself, as long as you try your best, youll have no regrets, good luck to everyone !
Well i failed the telephone people, the annual salary also dropped considerably by £10,000 per year the ad stated £24 K plus bonus then on the phone they says you will start o 14,500 plus bonus.
Replying to this almost a year later. But hopefully you'll appreciate my late (long) response :P I did pass the interview and I went on to work for Sky for 6 months as a broadband advisor. I was told the role would be full time with a salary of £20k+ at the assessment centre, but on my first day on the job. I was told part time and that it would be under £10k. I'd only be working 08:30-12:30 Monday to Thursday with a long shift 08:30-5:00pm on Sunday. Despite this being disappointing, I still liked SKY and I thought I'd give it a go. I had to keep a second job at a bar in the evenings to make up the extra pennies, but it was workable. The training phase at SKY is fun, but extensive. You're in a room with your future work colleagues for three months, learning everything you need to know. There's lots of games and it makes SKY seem like a very 'fun' workplace. But the atmosphere changes as soon as you step out onto the call centre floor. Despite my role as a broadband technical advisor. I was expected to make sales, if you don't, you go into meetings where your manager sets you sales targets and if you don't meet those, there's serious consequences. I liked helping people with broadband problems, sometimes the calls were frustrating and the people were rude. But it was often rewarding when someone had something resolved. But the role was more sales focused than 'helping people' focused and that's what made me want to leave. I did not sign a contract to work in sales. You'd rarely get praised for resolving an issue with customers. Even though this should have been the focus. It's all money money money with SKY. Out of my group of 20 new starters, already half have left, including me. I'm now much happier in a full time role somewhere else with a full time wage. It was a very disappointing experience. I liked my colleagues, I even liked some of the customers. But SKY shouldn't lie on its job advertising. It's very deceitful and puts staff under a lot of pressure, to make sales or risk loosing their job. This is my honest account and experience. I know SKY may remove this for being defaming. But I believe I should be allowed to share this.
