With over 2000 applicants trying for Virgin Blue - many with highly impressive qualifications - is it any wonder that the interview board have a difficult job to decide who to interview. At least you don't get knocked back because of aptitude test results, because there are no aptitude tests - not like Qantas and most international operators.
The interviews are relaxed and friendly and from what I hear unless you come across as pushy or arrogant, then you have a job. It really is a case of crossing your fingers and hoping that one day you'll get the nod for an interview. Just because someone gets the nod in front of you, doesn't mean that they are any better or any worse than you - it is just their lucky day - like getting a big prize in the lottery.
You can help your own luck by just hanging in there and never give up trying. Persistence usually pays off in the long run.
