Howdy all
Just thought i would give you all a quick rundown of the interview I had at the Parkroyal yesterday.
I as well was the youngest in my group session. I am 19, but looked like it went up till about 35 years old or so. There were 15 members in total and they were all men!?!
Thought this was a bit strange but when they started explaining the purpose of the recruitment session yesterday it all made sense. Mainly they were after Pit crew for an immediate start but those who wanted to work checkin such as myself were also brought along so that if successful you can be put into a "pool" until a position comes up.
As Jayne pointed out before the session, they asked us:
name, work experience, why we want to work for Virgin Blue and something Quirky about ourselves ... mainly people mentioned physical things such as height (being the tallest) or adventure sports such as rock climbing ..... I took a different approach. After watching Austin Powers the night before i told them that I am full of MOJO
And in my opinion this MOJO is the same as Virgin Flair!! They laughed at this so that was a good sign.
Then we had the Virgin Survivor ... choosing one item each from a about 14 in order to help us survive. OZ-Flyboy you are right in that they are looking for elements of teamwork and participation in the group environment. I think i did okay in this, expressing my own opinions on what to take but taking something that the group valued more.
Anyway the next three weeks are upon us now to see if we make it to the next stage. Jayne have you heard anything yet about your position? ksd333 what about you? Good luck to both you and Oz-Flyboy and all those who have had interviews and await their fate.
Please keep me in thhe loop about how things go for you.
