It's my first day!

Hey guys!

I just had my first day of ground school in Perth, so far it has been amazing.

Had my interviews a few weeks ago, got in really quickly and I was surprised.
First AD was a short group activity to see how you interacted and participated within a team. Then everybody got invited in for a quick one-on-one.

Second AD was just a group interview, had a problem the group had to solve that had nothing to do with aviation but was one of those no wrong answer things. Again just to see how people interacted and solved problems etc...
The nice lady interviewing us said "just be yourselves" and so I blanked out the things I had thought about saying beforehand and just went organic. Nearly everybody else had a pre-rehearsed "why I would benefit the airline" speech all planned out but not seen any of those people in the current running training schools.
I'd say when you go into the interview, just be yourself and relax. If you are the right kind of person for the job you will get it. If not keep working toward it!

Good luck ladies and gents!
