it depends upon what an EA office is.  Maybe it's not so good despite you thinking it is.   :laugh:

ok, i feel like a right tard now ~_~

It's not the EA we all know and love >_> it's EA Worldwide, a company that specialises in sales and marketing. What a complete tard i feel  :-\

But i'm still going for it anyways. They've called me up for a 2nd interview tomorrow. Sounds like i'll be outside having a go at some first hand marketing myself for it, amongst the others that were called for 2nd interviews. We'll see how that goes o_o

Marketing is still a cool area to work in

second interview is a good sign

i didn't get it. I dropped out of the interviews.

The 2nd interview was shadowing an empoyee and we went and knocked on doors telling people about government schemes. It was good, i really enjoyed it, though we were out from 1pm to 8:30pm, took a lot of abuse off people who thought we were selling stuff and it was very cold. But the interaction with the right people when you did get people to listen and sign up for the free internet and cheaper calls you felt like you'd done real good and it cancelled out all the negative people we saw.

Pay sounded brilliant and you worked on commission and there was chance of promotion as soon as two-three months and at minimum 5 months i could have been earning well into £1000's a week.

But it wasn't for me. I wouldn't have liked it and i feel i would have struggled being confident enough to talk to people. So i turned down the offer of the 3rd interview and i went home.

All too often jobs are advertised as 'marketing' when what they mean is sales.
