Hi peach,
I am starting with Excel this month. The interview was actually enjoyable unlike some interviews I have been to. There was 2 tests maths and General Knowledge, then you are asked to stand up and talk about yourself, then you are split into groups and given a scenario to discuss. You are then taken away and if successfull you have a 2 to 1. Everyone was really friendly and didnt stand over you all the time listening to you which was nice.
I dont know anything about Monarch.
I currently work for easyjet and most of our crew at stansted are spanish and italian and we welcome european crew so you might want to give them a go
