Have to agree...Nick, keep your chin up and don't let it get to you.. .. .The entire recruitment process at most airlines lacks any merit-based credibility. The focus is solely on picking the right people who fit the process, not necessarily the right people for the job.. .. .Those of us in the game know only too well that feeling of "how the f*** did you EVER get a Senior position?" and I'm frequently putting it down to the quality of recruitment. . .. .It took me 8 tries to get a Flight Attendant role and when I was finally successful it was with the airline that gave me an interview. Interestingly enough if was my airline of LAST resort but I'm playing on Boeings and its a stepping stone. The rest either wouldn't even invite me to assessment or in the case of JetConnect - ARRRRGGGHHH lets not even go there!. .. .If you really want it - shop around. Don't focus on the one airline. Choose the one that does the right thing by you instead of thinking you should change your entire life to suit the airline. Be prepared to move town and country if need be.. .. .Good luck - you WILL make it!!!!!!
