hi every1, im new to this website, i have an assesment day on tues 7th april, for easyjet, was just wondering could any1 give me a bit of info please,, much appreciated xx
I am Dave from Germany we will be sitting in the same boat on the 29.04 in Luton. I worked for Rynair before for about 14 month i was based in Frankfurt Hahn. All my best friends got fired or left the company so left as well.
What is your prefered base? mine is Berlin
I will be staying nearly 2 days in london if you want we could meet for a coffe. It will be not easy that day i was checking online for informations. They inviate a lot and take only a few. But we will see. At Ryanair i did not have to do such things like mathe test and so on.
How about you? What have you been doing and how do you get your self prepared for that day. For you it might be a bit easier as you are from uk i guess.
I am looking foreward to hear from you soon
Hi guys and girls, a little bit of advice here for the assessment day, im now working for easyjet and started at beginning of year.
Probably the biggest and best advice is 'be yourself and have fun'. dont go and look or feel nervous because they watch for that. get involved with everything, talk to everyone and u will find u all get on well. At start of the day in the classroom they will ask each person to give a fact about easyjet so its good to read up about the company, it can be anything from the founder of easyjet, how many times they have been voted the safest airline to what aircraft they fly.
Boeing 737-700 (to be fazed out by 2011)
Airbus 319
Airbus 320 (new aircraft being ordered, 1 delivered to gatwick already)
Airbus 320 ex GB airways
Airbus 321 ex GB airways
remember to say something about easyjet, there were some in group that didnt know a fact and well, i think u can guess if they got job or not. lol
u will then be given a maths and english test, dont worry its not too bad just remember to read the questions carefully, with the maths u are allowed a calculator and some of the questions are about currency conversions which is all muliple and devide again not too bad but read carefully and the questions are multiple choice.
then u do the group excersise, there are too and each group gets a trainer to assess what ur doing in the excersise, basically work as a team, involve everyone, ask eachothers opinions etc, but dont sit out and wait for someone to ask u what u think of an idea, they will watch that. its actually quite fun that part so dont worry too much.
then u have a break and they divide people into 2 groups.. the nervous bit.. they call ur name out, if ur name is called then unfortunatelly its bye bye, if ur name isnt called u can relax lol.
then its just talk about the pay, what goes on etc in easyjet and general things u need to know, where finally u have a 1-2-1 interview. just be urself again relax and they will ask u the usual interview questions about customer service and what u have done exceptional etc. for me they asked if i know what aircraft they use at my chosen base (for me as im LTN its 737-700 and a few A319's although there are more now since i started).
good luck everyone if ur still awake after reading this lol
Hi Jayne Nice to hear from you. I will be staying probably one night in the easyhotel in Luton. I arrive in London at about 10:00 at Stansted Airport and will then going to Luton.
I have been studying pleanty of information about easyJet, hope it helps a bit.
Hi Phil,
Just read your mail, and would like to know how I can find out which type of aircraft fly out of my chosen base in Liverpool. I am attending an assessment day on Tuesday 14th April and whilst I can find most of the othe information I need to know about easyJet I cant seem to find out this little bit of information...thanks
as far as im aware, liverpool use only A319's, others reading this correct me if im wrong, there are only a couple of bases now that use the boeing 737 type aircraft.
heres a little fact for u.. the EZY A319's are the only aircraft of that type designed exclusively for easyjet, and the only A319's to have 4 overwing exits (all others have 2). it is required by the aviation safety board as EZY have extra rows so need 2 extra overwing exits.
for uniform, u pay for it, but in segmants through ur pay, i belive its month 3 and 6.
also u dont pay for ur training providing u stay with the company through ur whole contract, its what they call a bond, that will be discussed on the assessment day.
Hi Phil,
Thanks for your prompt reply, that is really appreciated. You really are a mind of helpful information, where do you get it all from, and do you think it helped you on the day!!!!????
I applied to easyJet this time last year and failled to get to the 2-1 interview so I am hoping I will do better this time round.
Unfortunately the 4 over wing exit version of the A319 is no longer unique to easyJet - there are a few airlines around which have chosen the option to have a greater seat number! However easyJet were the first to take it
A friend of mine had his interview with easyJet 2 weeks ago and nothing was asked of him about the airline, just 4 "give me an example of a time when" questions, where you're expected to give examples of when you've either gone the extra mile, taken charge of a situation, managed your time etc. There are loads of questions they could ask, think about some ideas but don't create generic answers or ones you've learnt off by heart. The recruitment guys and girls at easyJet want to see that you're thinking about what you're saying. If you want a minute to think about what you're going to say - tell them. They'd rather you spend a minute thinking about what you're going to say over you struggle and rush and not get the job. They're not there to fail you.
Study wikipedia for a little while however if you're going to learn anything, make sure it's our values and pillars. Pillars are things like Safety, investors, people, customers and operations excellence - values are safety, pioneering, passionate, team work and another which I cant remember. If you can relate to them in your interview you'll be earning muchos points. Make sure safety is your priority in everything you do!
I have book a hotel room in Luton at easyhotel for a reasonable price I arrive on the 28th at stansted airport.
On the 29th i try to be there at around 8:00, how about you?
I can't wait!
Jayne for which base have you applied for?
I heard from a german easyjet cabin crew that they give out only seaonal contracts instead of permanent ones. Do you know somthing about it?
hi all, if ur uk based, as far as i know its a 9 month contract which is what im on, there maybe a chance too that ur contract is extended. I trained with crew for paris orly base too and their contract is permanant, dont know if that is the same for all other european bases, but uk bases are 9 month contracts. Best thing to do, is work hard and as good as u can, no sick days etc and that will help to get made permanant if they do decide they need more crew It really is a good company and enjoyable to work for and u work with alot of great people.
Money-wise, you are much better off on a euro-contract, which means Madrid, Paris or Milano (Swiss bases are on a different AOC). Berlin is UK contract, so you live in the euro zone but get paid in pound-pesetas albeit with a sort of exchange rate protection until December 2009.
