from what i can remember for my interview.. they were pretty generic questions
- how well you deal under pressure
- situational question
- strengths/weaknesses

in total, i had three different interviews
- over the phone
- group
- two-on-one

i found the group interview the hardest since you need to make yourself stand out

check company website.

not a easy job to get. tons of applicants apply internally alone

just got an interview for shaw cable installer TFR! one step away from my dream come true

GL

if they hire you.. send me a PM

Just got a job at Shaw in Calgary as a TSR, going to make 17.25/hr. I been reading a lot bad reviews on shaw from ratemyemployer.com. Could something who works in the TSR department tell me how the working condition is? ty

Couldn't say much about Shaw but call center usually monitor your calls, have to upsell etc etc.....and most likely you will start with crappy hours.

after months of waiting...shaw stops hiring for TFR position
after interviewing probably 100+ people.. they decide to hire 7 INTERNAL workers from call centers with no experience in the field....BULLLLLLLLLLLSHIT

heard shaw is doing alot of cutbacks.

More cutbacks.... Their call time is already pretty bad....usually you have to wait at least 1hour...... More cutbacks and ppl will have to wait 2hours lol.

For those currently working at shaw as csr, do u get to choose ur fixed hours? Like can u have a 7am to 3pm hours everyday no weekends?

Fuck Shaw. I am 100% white and from Canada and my interviewer was from Europe or something with a heavy accent. I swear everyone in his department that I saw pass by was also European and the whole interview process was very unprofessional and a joke.

Im way more qualified and have been in the field at a higher level for years and they didn't hire me. At the time I was pissed, but now that I look at it i am glad I didn't get hired. They are a terribly run company and they don't pay as much as their competitors. Go Telus and move your way up. Its unionized and they pay excellent but it is very hard to get on.

WTF does the colour of your skin have anything to do with this?

Everything. Fuck Shaw.

LOL quit your whining, suck it up and move on buttercup...

inb4story of how much better your life is after being turned down by Shaw.

Not sure if it's different from TSR, but from what I understood during my interview the answer would be no. You have to be available for all shifts, including weekends and evenings. No harm in asking your interviewer though if you haven't had one yet :)

No whining here sir :) . I just work for one of their major competitors (No name dropping) so of course i am going to think they are garbage. After seeing their work on hundreds of sites , many even commercial grade I definitely think my opinion is valid.

No need to get your panties in a knot tho, im sorry if I don't agree with your viewpoints on Shaw. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and I think they are shit. :teeth:

LOL that's your opinion before you got turned down for the job.

Oh not going to lie there definitely is overheating issues with Optic when it gets to almost 40 degrees Celsius. They are also having issues at their Switching offices, that's why they just installed a ton of heat detectors to try and fix this solution

I don't really know what i am suppose to be proving here? I have always thought Shaw wasn't the greatest company as soon as I got into the communications industry. Telus sure isn't perfect but they are doing a lot better job then Shaw!

Are we done here now?

And actually my interview was in 2011. Thanks though

Sounds like you work for TELUS.

I work as a TSR at Shaw. The schedule is likely the same for CSR and TSR with a few minor differences. You must be available from 7AM - 11:30PM, Sunday - Saturday. You will know your schedule weeks ahead of time (at least a month in advance). You can switch with other people if you want to as well but they must be willing to accept your trade. I.e. Someone is working from 8AM-4PM and you work from 2PM - 10 PM, you can switch with the other person.
