sorry for being a pain just wanna make sure im making the right decision

Hi Amy,

HSBC call center also recruit English only staff.

I-gaming could prove difficult as the positions usually require you to be a native speaker of a non-English language.

What are your qualifications? What job are you doing at the moment?

Coming for 2 weeks only might not be long enough to find a job but try sending your CV to as many agencies as possible in advance.

Cheers
Ricky

Hi ricky

Ive been over 5x in last 10 months so got an idea of malta esp valletta and surrounding areas.
Ive registered with all the agencies I can think of.. im  only educated to secondary school level so GCSEs english geography and maths.. but do have an NVQ 2 in IT..  I am currently a betting shop manager. (5 years) and also have 3 yrs exp in working in a call centre. So highly trained in customer service. I am going to reapply at hsbc around easter time.



Thanks

Amy

dont just rely on emailing CVs though as they are often ignored.... a personal visit is far better even of only to deliver your CV

go knocking on doors if you have too - many employers prefer to see you than a cv dropped in the inbox.....an email is so easily ignored here - but a 1-2-1 is hard to avoid. good luck
