Must have been a change in the HR department.
Staff CV works best for flight crew, the new system seems more appropriate for regular workers and corporate appointments.
Go figure

So can anyone expand on what this recent change to the Virgin careers site means?
I have had an app in for over 1yr but now can't log on with the email address. Had to start again??
Are the old applications still in the system or does everyone have to start again?
Thanks

They are currently wiping the database to clear out all old applications and everyone will have to resubmit their application once the site opens again in the near future. That is not a rumour.
.............bugger
Just on their website now, if you are not an existing applicant the only option I could see was to register a new account thru the "expression of interest' link is that correct??
That is the only way to then select the company area you are interested in and enter info on a form??

I think they are nearly done pulling people off the hold file.
If the expansion continues through 2012 then I would Guess at least 50-100 f/o's, maybe more. Keep in mind some of these spots will be filled from within (V AUS)
The expansion is in MEL and SYD. Those wishing for a 737 spot in bris could be waiting a number of years.

Cheers Superbad
Hopefully your on the money.. Really hoping to get an opportunity at some point during this year. 50-100 sounds like what i have heard off mates. Just wondering what kind of experience gets you over the line for a shortlist and also how many QF applicants are being looked at.. Thinking it is gonna be ultra competitive but not to worry

Yeah Virgin HR is all over this system change.
Had to laugh this arvo when i got an e-mail from recruitment telling me that my application on the old system they use is being removed, and if i wish to be considered for future positions I would need to re apply thru the new recruitment page on the web site. They did wish me all the best in my future aviation endeavors thou. Which is nice, especially since I've been flying for them for 2 years!
HR, proving their worth ever day.

Got the same email.
Very disappointing considering when the change was first mentioned they said they would keep the application active.
AirNZ did the same. Told applicants they would automatically be put in the new system, then backflipped a few months later when it actually came on line.
I guess it makes sense in a way, though. Why would you pay someone to reenter all of this data when the pilots will do it themselves without hesitation.
