WIZZ AIR Autumn '14

Wizz air is open again for FO/Cadet on their site.
Applied but got the "thank you, but no thank you" email few days later. They ovbiously don't like my name as this is the third time I get this mail for the last 4 years (last two times I applied for the Cadet/NTR possition).

Too bad. It was some sort of a dream for me to work there...

Good luck to all!

P.S. Type rated 737CL, 320h on type and building, ~500 TT, BG citizen.

Confusing..gives us some clarity here. Have you applied online to the position or have you attended the previous open day in Bucharest?

If you can make it to the next open day I would suggest you to go,worth trying...

Didn't go to the open days because I had less then 300 hrs jet so found it pointless.

That is what I think I will do if they actually have another open day. If not - next year again

I am thinking their problem might be that I actually have a job at the moment.

Is the type rating self funded (p2f) or are you bonded with company?

I applied on monday 4 aug 280 TT with joc And mcc. And also one me flight in the last 12 months. And got a rejection on 7 aug. But I noticed something strange. I received the confirmation mail on 4 aug 20:11 And I received the rejection on 7 aug 20:11. So there is exactly 72 hours in between. So it looks to me that the rejection was automaticly generated And no one actually looked at it!

The same 72h rejection pattern was applied in my case.

guess that's the new way of dealing with the large number of applications

Did any of the rejected guys was present at the Open Day last year? Maybe this is the initial selection criteria for NTR Cadets?

Now that you say - exactly 72 hours with me as well....
How do you explain that?

The name of the pilot datasheet soc has a "20Aug" in it.... Maybe they'll keep killing applications till then, eh? Shall we contact reqruitment and ask?

EDIT: Actually the status of my application still says "On-file".

First application this year & general status : "Your status: Submitted For Requisition" and position status 'On File'.

Wait and see now !

I've done some reading and I found that the 72 hours autoreject is the "magic" of Taleo.... Noone ever saw our applications - just Taleo filtered it.

Have you guys tried to contact the recruitment dept and report it as a technical glitch? Just a thought.

What makes me think is that there is not really that much info for taleo to go on. The 'online questions' one fills in when submitting the application are quite hard to get 'wrong'. And the rest is attachments. So it would seem that it just rejects everybody?

(Myself I haven't applied yet, got 2,5 month remaining on my IRME, so I need to take care of that first).

Good luck.

Taleo actually scans trough the attachment and extracts info. They actuallu use a standard form for the datasheet so taleo knows how many hours you've got...

Interesting.

You'd think that they would make the minimum hours higher to avoid being bombarded by guys like us. I know of current Wizz pilots having had interviews with BA and Easy, so that may be why its opened up early.

Didn't know that imaximov, quite interesting.

But then again it either means that
a) all of the guys that applied til now (and posted here) have insufficient hours
b) there's a technical glitch.

If it's a) then as elmore said, they should just post higher reqs... Ah well.

If they place a vacancy fort non TR cadets. What do they expect? People with 1000 tt. In my opinion thats not a cadet anymore. And in there requirments they state that you need minimum 200 hours actual time. So it is a very strange way of selecting applications.
