Brisbane OD
Hi Guys
I went to the 10th March Brisbane OD and I made it to the final interview (last FI for me was back in 2009). Was wondering if anyone here made it to the FI in Brisbane as well?
I know a lot of you guys are very curious about the day. So here's a short snippet of what actually happened:
About 80 people turned up to the OD and the recruiters were doing their normal routine; introducing themselves, talked about cabin crew lifestyle and about the airline and the company. After that they asked us to go to the next room one by one where they will be doing their short interview (about half a minute). After they have gone through 80 people they gave us a slip which determines if you are successful or not. Fortunately I was one of the lucky ones who made it through.
Secondly they got us into groups and asked us to work as a team. At this point it is where you should shine and work as a team player and not be dominating. They have 2 rounds of group activities, I was lucky enough to make it through to the final stage. Just on a side note, the people who talked a lot, and wanted their voice heard were the ones who didn't make it through to the final stage. I know a lot of people here are very nervous about this particular stage but in fact it is one of the easiest. All you have to do is show that you are listening, positive body language and say a few things like "Yes I agree" or "That is great idea". If the dominating person isn't letting you talk, then perhaps you could say "Sorry to interrupt, but I just want to say...". After that, let them talk as much as they want.
We were 80 people, to 21 in the group stage then cut down to the final 14. The 3 other friends who I made friends with immediately in the beginning all made it through so it was very special for the 4 of us. I just had my final interview yesterday and the recruiter asked me various questions relating to my customer service experience.
And now... the waiting game begins!
God bless and stay positive to the ones who are waiting!
