Interviews
First try at PPruNe and going to moan straight away!
I know some of you might not like some of my views..... but you may appreciate certain things in this thread!!
Some might say I dont deserve a reply from companies,
but at least i stand by my views and am qualified to a certain level......(PPL/FAA/WB licences + more... some company paid for some i've done myself)
Why do some prospective employers invite you for an interview, ..... out of your own time, you go along in good faith and yes not always do your best, coming from holland (English not being my mother tongue) but not get a reply
I will name names,
ANA
ETIHAD, anyone heard of them yet?.....
GULF
EASYJET
DNATA....you are the worst..... oooooo you've got the job we will just drag it out for six months and expect you to put your lives on hold for 6 months and then send you a dodgy email(EXTRNAL HOLD LETTER) and not reply to your emails. LUCKY ME!!!!
unfair t/c's for i'view(ie get out here in two days/do a stupid medical in a week) and jobs???
come on HR Depts..... get ahold of yourselves, if we spend time out of our schedules the least you could do is reply, or at least say "only suucesful candidates will be contacted"
If my english is bad pls excuse
but HR recruitment people stay out of it.... You have no business in ops, you know nothing about what the job entails that is why certain depts are in as bad a state as they are!!!!!!!!.... Stay recruitng PSA's or ramp rats thats what your good at, if not go back to university!!!
The only decent posts i've held or been interviewed for didn't include anyone from HR!!! I've learn't more in a 1 on 1 interview witha single experienced ops manager than you could ever teach me with your scripted questions, for example:
"When have you experienced conflict"
"When have you given good customer service"
"when have you worked as a team"
"how do you work under pressure"
EVERY DAY!!!!....
Work in such a dept for a major airline then you may experience such demands that are expected of you!!!!!
Sometimes I get to the final i/view sometimes i don't even get that far and sometimes i get offered a job, but a "dear john" is at least that, at least you were recognised, i mean an email to say no thanks, how long can that take???
I dont wanna sound hard done by all I expected is a bit of common courtesy!!!!
SORT IT OUT!!!!
I'M SURE THERE ARE MANY OF YOU WHO HAVE GONE THRU THE SAME WASTE OF TIME I/VIEWS - TIME TO STAMP IT OUT!!
