      Telesales Executive Interview

      21 Aug 2019
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Southampton, England
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at SO Recycle (Southampton, England) in May 2019

      Interview

      So recycle got back to me very quickly after submitting my CV and invited me for an interview. My first interview was held in the kitchen/staff room by the managing director. He asked me the same questions multiple times and did not actually seem to listen to my answer. He also made comments about my lack of telesales experience although I had made this very clear on my CV and in previous answers to questions he had already asked me however I was still invited for a second ‘interview’. In the so called interview I was sat with the telemarketing leader or manager (not 100% sure of her role) who was really lovely. I listened to calls for about half an hour then was given a script and put straight on the phone, I did calls for almost 2 hours. They then just said I could go and they would be in touch. I never heard anything back and even sent a very polite email just to ask for feedback which they never replied to. Considering I did almost two hours unpaid work for them the least they could have done was reply and the could not have been that unimpressed by me considering they let me call their clients for this long. Very unprofessional company.
