goncall Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 . If it was ever to change or if we needed help with call out we would ask and take no for an answer. but would you be happy with taking no for an answer you wouldnt,personally id tell them that call maybe required at times of holidays/sickness etc at least they know they might have to chip in rather than a i dont do call stance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmo66 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 For my neck of the woods it's a very good wage for an engineer, especially with potential of 10k overtime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotHeardofThat1 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 (edited) RSHAW if you don't mind me asking, what's your take on the offered package? Well I can compare it for you, if I take overtime every week, so Mon-Sat, I'm still not on that salary. Get 28 minus bank hols, But I do get the van for personal if I put a bit of fuel in so don't need to fork out for my own car outside of work and all tools, etc provided (zero expense to work for the firm). No call outs Edited January 7, 2015 by RShaw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

datadiffusion Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 (edited) The right person should have enough experience to be out on the road within a week. That would seriously put me off even if I thought I would be the ideal candidate. We all know the **** candidates will apply anyway but you might risk putting good ones off. I'd personally delete it. To me it suggests, 'we don't have time to train you, you won't get any support, you'll be out on your **** within 5 days,' even if it isn't true. Also is it just me that gets annoyed with the creeping US use of the word 'install' in place of 'installer'..?
