I applied online. I interviewed at Personal Telephone Fundraising
Interview
Job description: no call center experience necessary. Reason I was given for not offering me a job: I don't have any call center experience
They asked me why I wanted to work for them: I said because I wanted to raise money for charity.
Seems like more of a popularity contest than a job interview.. After reading various employees reviews I think I've worked out why they have such a high turnover of staff!
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Personal Telephone Fundraising (Brighton, England) in Aug 2014
Interview
One brief interview in the PTF office, which i think most people found off putting. It was in two stages, a group reading and then a one to one interview, felt a lot like nervous cattle being herded through pens! It seemed a lot like people were being chosen based on how much the particular hiring manager liked them on a personal level as opposed to their suitability for the job but this could be my imagination...
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The most difficult part was trying to explain in believable terms why I wanted to work in what seemed like such a threatening and fearful environment!
