enterprise interview (uk notts,)

hi all.
i have a group interview with the nottingham branch. iv just read this site and decided its a crap place to work, but still want to go for it as i need the experiance. want to play them at their own game and use them!

can anyone give me any tips on the group interview, like what they are going to do? what is expected? and how to pass?

thanks

Want my advice, dont turn up, i wish i hadnt. I worked in U4, its terrible. The GM is pathetic and his city managers are just bullies, although one does have an amusing stutter!
Which branch are you going to be based at??

im gunna be based at either nottingham or sheffield. dunno yet.

what is the interview like? what do they expect in the group interview?

You should show up to the interview dressed as Robin Hood. Then demand to speak to the sheriff of Nottingham..And if they don't grant you that request, start firing suction cup arrows around the office while shouting, "Kevin Costner has got nothing on me!!!"




In all seriousness, the company sucks, don't waste your time..

what is the interview like tho... wana check them out, get some experiance and move on.

Only an idiot would still go on the interview after reading all the terrible things on this site...Are you blind....you say you need the experience..tell you what, get in your best suit...walk outside and wash your car.....learn to be miserable because that is what you will be feeling....learn to have no social life or family....learn how to brown nose your upper management....yes this is all great experience you fool.

Well, not 100% sure how it is across the Atlantic, but in my group there was three interviews. the first is a screening interview with a recruiter. That one is not that hard--the recruiter gets a bonus on who they push forward to the next interviews...only if the person stays at erac for a few months. The second interview was with the branch manager of the branch that you'd be working at and the area manager. They are looking for someone who is hard working, hungry, and someone they believe they can mold into the green bleeder. Then it was off to a 3rd interview with the regional manager, which I also took as more of a screening interview, but on a much higher level. If ya really want to land the job, don't mention that you are planning on using erac as a stepping stone or something to get experience in. The area rental manager also gets a retention bonus and does not want to hire anyone who they feel will jeapardize that bonus by leaving. They like a lot of energy and someone who they think will stay dedicated to the company for a long time.
As for experience, until you reach at least assistant manager level, the only experience you will get is retail, which you can get at many other companies. Erac can look good on a resume depending on where you move on to. But the job and the company suck the soda out of a straw. I still think you should do the Robin Hood idea. You probably wouldn't get the job, but man you'd be remembered...

Hey, there are some nice people in Nottingham!! Not me anymore, I got out of ERAC. My advice would be...do as well as you can in the interview, be really enthusiastic, like you're green already then at the end of the third interview, like Zammo, just say NO!!! All the recruiters and HR peeps will go crazy and wonder why anyone so enthusiastic at the earlier interviews said no.

S.h.i.t. anyone who reads this post and thinks about my user name will now know who I am!!

Ps. I loved the majority of time I was at ERAC, I was just offered a better position somewhere else. I still have good friends in U6 & U4 and wish them all success for the future.

want to play them at their own game and use them!

Yeaaaah right. I hope you take the job so in a few months we can all say we told you so.

Unless you are a female wih a large wide tongue or a bloke with no penis don't bother!!! Either way you will loose it if you have one because, i swear the managment are directed by Lorena Bobbitt(cut her husbands penis off) or the ghost of Valarie Solonas (the Society for Cutting up Men or SCUM for short).

The women at U4 toss the salad of the women at U4 for starters. They use fuel cards to stimulate themselves under the desk while running the office(whoops that is another departments fuel card without looking shhhhh).If You whisper 45 miles away from Vicky (SPLINTER- A GIANT RAT FROM TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES) Openshaw she will have you on a rape charge if you are lucky. Anyone who gets promoted in Rental is either psychotic or complete stuttering moron with no penis.

If you were turned on then you are either a salad tossing carpet and arse muncher. Or you have sick fantasy about ugly aggressive Assistant Managers with arses the size of the backend of V3!!!
