Helen can I ask why british gas never seem to be looking in the manchester area? I've seen these recruitment drives from bg for a good few years now, and manchester is never in. Is it because of me?

 

[Helen BG]

Hi Gaz,

I hope not! We tend to recruit for one of two reasons - wither to cope with a growing workload, or to replace staff who are moving on. If neither of these issues are raised in Manchester, thenwe will have no need to take anyone on. Things change all the time though, so please do set up a Job Alert by following this link.

Good luck to all involved,can't really beat bg as a big firm.

Why does mention specifically Chelmsford but doesn't show any electricians jobs in Essex on the website

 

[Johnuk]

oh this is a easy one, you got to live in the place were they are posting jobs

 

[Robert Turnbull]

I live in Chelmsford

 

[Helen BG]

Hi, we are not looking for Electrical contractors at the moment I'm afraid, just permanent staff. If you set up a Job Alert on our website, you will be emailed if we open any opportunites for contractors.

Just to update people on this piece of recruitment, we now have enough applicants for Ealing, Forest and Essex, so those jobs have closed. The other areas are still open, and thanks to everyone who has been in touch so far.

RE : BRITISH GAS ELECTRICIAN, . . Hmmmm! am I a sore loser?
I have just completed the British Gas "Sparky" test, at the Thatcham Academy (05/06/13) I was told that 8 questions are a 'MUST' get right, or instant FAIL!, (I GOT THOSE RIGHT) with an 80% or above pass rate required. ( I had already passed the phone call technical questions)
The (exam) was 30 multiple choice, technical questions, lasting 45 mins, with an "open book" policy.
I was was told that as I had got 4 questions wrong, below 80% I had NOT met the expected level of technical electrical knowledge required for the position.! ! ! O.K. fair enough! . . .
No problem, I don't know it all and NEVER will. My gripe/point however IS that the position I went for was for a DOMESTIC/RESIDENTIAL! electrician.
. . .the questions that I FAILED on was, eg. Highways, portable appliances, DC voltages, and one other that I have NEVER even heard of, and could not find in my O.S.G.?
Instead of thanking me for my time and efforts, and that the process has now ended, they continued to interview me, with a prolonged ethos of customer care. (another 1+ hours)
I was left thinking that despite the failed 'technical' test, that I had done VERY WELL, and would be notified within 2 weeks/14 days, as to the outcome of the interview.
Surprise, surprise, the VERY next morning 06/06/13 I had to listen to a BIG LOAD of SPILL, of how well I had done, but another candidate had 'Blown them away' with his technical expertise! and that it was NOT good news for me :-(
This is NOT the first time that I have not been unsuccessful in getting a job, and it will not be the last, but something here with these Monkey's has got my ALARM bells ringing.
In conclusion, if you get offered an interview for BG, don't be surprised if you are not up to required standard , or if the position EVER really existed ? ? ?

Their are many opportunity with oil and gas industry, you can certainly bag a good paying job if you have right qualification.

 

[Sparkycus]

That is what they leave you to believe!
