Finally, applicants interested in applying to British Telecom may have run into problems with the freephone number for the BT graduate recruitment hotline advertised in Irish colleges, for the simple reason that the number can't be accessed from the Republic. BT's head office number is (0044171) 3565000, so you can try that instead or consult the BT information booklet (and BT's not inconsiderable application form) at your careers office.
