Interviews, jobs & sponsorshipDo ya feel lucky, Punk? Well do ya? If so, here's the place to swap the hot gen on who's sponsoring or employing, their selection criteria, and where those oh so elusive first jobs can be spotted in the wild. Watch out for the tumbleweeds...
Is it true that 1000 of us have been shortlisted?? I dont think so. I went to an emirates interview for cabin crew once and there were about 200 people for day one, and it was HECTIC! They had to cut some heads on the first day basing themselves on the way you handed in your resume (2 second impression of you)... and then wait for a callback. After which, about 70 people turned up, for 10 vacancies.
That'd makes more sense.
Considering that 80% of applicants know PPRuNe, and 50% of them are active posters (and not all of them have been shortlisted), i would say we won't find more than 100 people in each assesment. That makes 200 people total... Am i talking nonesense?
Well,I just want it to know If I'm too late for this venues as I've only aplied few days ago!if they are assessing candidates in august I might get a shot!well,when I joined BA there were 7000 aplications for crew,2000 got interviews,600 got the job...will be tough
Etihad use the Airport Sheraton in FRA and the Park Inn in LHR. There is a very good chance these will be the location's of the testing.
Yes 1000 have been shortlisted, not 1000 for LHR, but worldwide, some may roll over into next year.
I would assume that if you have been asked to attend on the 28th, you should plan an overnight before, a little rest might be a good thing before all those tests!!
I received an invite to the UAE Expat selection day in mid-June but was not in the UAE at the time so couldn't attend. I sent them an email reply but never heard anything since so am afraid I screwed it up a bit and missed my chance! Anyone else write into EY saying that they couldn't attend the given date and heard anything back? Anyone know whom to contact at EY or have a telephone number?
i got an invite to an assessment too on the 29th...luckily i'm available for that date. but yeh just would like to know who else got this date, and what to expect on the day?
It has all been mentioned before on this post. Basically, day one is only for written, multiple choice tests on basic math, physics... about 5 or 6 tests. Main issue apparently is time. Since they dont let u use calculator, you will have to multiply and long divide on paper and that takes longer than with a calculator. It has also been said that they are not looking for the smartest guy, they want someone who they can sit next to for a 10 hour long flight.
I believe there is no personal contact on this first stage.
No worries ZaaZoo I got it from Switch board at recruitment. I was going to call him back but I figured it may actually only damage my chances. I was going to ask a silly question like when will I get my email telling me what time to arrive etc. I just don't want to waste his time.
So what are the CTC tests like and is there anyway to practice for the Compass test?
I think we should all have passed the team work objective by now :P
1st- He is not is charge of this!
2nd-He is very busy with a million things, not just cadet pilot recruitment.
Whoever put his number on the forum, I would suggest in the strongest terms you remove it.
Those contacted will be contacted again in due course.
As other people have said practice some maths, I have no idea what compass tests are but its not what EY are using!
yeh i was just reading the thread after i posted, some guy called hower, or zower, or something has a fair bit of info. im just worried if they change it for some reason and we actually have the interview on that date and i haven't prepared for it etc.
adam,
what were the tests like at CTC? and yes i will defo see you there!
ps
compass tests is what they use at oxford, and it aint easy. but lets not worry about OAT assessments....
CTC assessments aren't that daunting tbh. it's a case (as you've probably heard a thousand times) of 'it's either you have the aptitude or you don't'.
they included hand-eye co-ordination (through use of a joystick, witht he aim of keep[ing the crosshair in the middle of the screen...hands, where you are given voice commands of different scenraios with relation to what the 'man is holding in his hands'...flying though boxes, again with the use of a joystick...identifying patterns within patters...and multi-tasking with hand-eye co-ordination and counting.
have a read of the CTC topic. all the info is on there. but you havent got anything to worry about.
not sure how much it correlates with the etihad assessments.
