Hi Alyssa and Jackyl
The reference checks are no longer phonecalls. They email your referees a document with questions they usually ask on the phone. As it turned out my referees both sent me a copy of their responses. Their references were absolutely glowing, so I am not sure exactly what went wrong. I was an Ansett FA for a couple of years but since then I have been a teacher - so I guess my experience was not so relevant when there are thousands of people applying who have current and relevant hospitality experience.
At least I didn't actually get to the medical check stage (imagine paying all that money and then not getting the job).
But, I will keep trying! Good luck to you both, and your older applicant!
