Recently did the psychometric tests.
Heard back pretty quickly from initial submission.
Get some practice in for those tests as you will have 14 days to do them.
Most of it is straightforward. The numerical test is challenging from a time frame perspective . look for practice exams. There are some on the SMH website.
My "word on the street" is as shoddy as anyone else's, but they are ramping up to meet the expected demand when Qantas mainline starts hiring again mid-late this year, and also to fill crew shortages on some of the aforementioned routes.
Unless they get a second training plan outside of FTA, it will take until the end of the year to start getting to non direct entries. 10-15 per group 6 weeks (ish) at a time.
The wheels on the bus go round and round.. Slowly..
However, I suspect the next 18 months will be the biggest hiring boom in 6 years in Aus. Good for everyone who's ready to move at all levels..
