If you are lucky enough to get a crack at the whip from an Australian/ NZ operator just make sure you’re up to speed regarding their online aptitude assessments. Being a Brit and having previously flown (757) in NZ and Oz I was looking forward to moving down there. After a successful telephone interview with Jetstar NZ for their Dash 8 operation they sent me the link to “Talent Q Elements”. After looking at the girst Question (which I had 60 seconds to complete) I simply turned to my wife and said, “Don’t pack your bags”. I did inform the HR lady when she mentioned aptitude testing that I was 56 and had been out of formal education for nearly 40 years but that didn’t seem to cut me any slack😭. Either the Aussie/ Kiwis are smart cookies or I’m thick as sh1te, probably a bit of both.😂
