Thanks a lot guys!
We were all told at Dublin last year on the day of our assessments that we absolutely should not discuss what goes on to make it a level playing field for all who attend. Everyone is in competition with each other at the end of the day, and no one knows if this year will even be the same format as last year yet.
We waited about one month after all the aptitude tests were submitted, to hear if we were successful to be invited to Dublin. We were told they monitor these forums very closely to see what is being written.
each assessment day about 30 people attend, you book your date you want when you get your email saying you’ve been invited. For those needing overnight stay the night before, wait to book the hotel as they offered a preferential room rate a few days later. Day starts at 8am sharp.
I absolutely will not go in any detail on what questions were asked at the interview last year apart from we had a good introduction from Aer Lingus, face to face personal interview, and a group orientated task. Expect to be there from 8am to late afternoon if last year is anything to go by. I booked flights home for 6pm same day and was fine with that timing. They asked for copies of all certificates of qualifications to be bought inperson along with passport style photos that you hand in to the team on the day.
Spend your time understanding what makes a good interview.
all I can say is good luck to everyone getting that email.
