Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend BT Group to a friend?
Yes
Why?
Openreach provides you with all the knowledge and skills required in order to succeed within the company. They invest heavily on safety equipment and tools enabling you to complete jobs and tasks in the most safest and efficient manner possible. They are able to give you assistance when required and someone is always only a phone call away if your in need of help.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to BT Group?
I would advise to just be yourself, show that you are able to work in a team but also as an individual. Most times you will be completing jobs on your own, so showing that you are able to work on your own is helpful. Some sort of customer service background can help but not essential (depending on which area of the business you are applying for).
