Is it just the basic meter set up you guys are doing or have they started training you up on white meter heating set ups?

hi

I am just waiting for a telephone interview from scottish power for a meter fixer.
It will be a completely new field for me so I would like to give it a go.
I was wondering if anyone could give me pointers on the type of questions they ask on the phone. Can anyone advise???
Also what is their training like?

Many Thanks in advance.
Neil

you should prepare questions to ask them good way of showing initiative

Thanks for the reply.

What sort of questions would you think they will ask, and what sort of experience would they be looking for.

I am not from an installation background and my electrical knowledge is based on home DIY. Would you think that this is sufficient for there requirements?

Regards
Neil
