I've got a Qantaslink-sunstate interview !

[cabinboy]

STOP PRESS !!

I've got a sunstate interview early Janurary ? BNE base........any other aussie ppruners get one ?

Cabinboy

[cloud nine]

Well done Cabin boy!!!
Details please...was that through staff cv? How did they contact you????

:D

[cabinboy]

Hi Cloudy,

Yes it was through staff cv, Sunstate rung me today and asked if I would like to attend..apparently interviews are being held over 4 different days. I attended a Sunstate interview back in early 2000 but never got anywhere. I asked the lady if it was a group interview session again ( group sessions were still being used up to about 1 month ago ) and she said that it is a 2 on 1 interview. So now this time for once I am like a stunned mullet, I have nothing to say ! And I'm not sure what to expect....I think it will be like the more traditional style ( target selection ) layout which was used a while ago.

And, I'm also waiting to hear about an interview for a position doing check-in at BNE airport, it's internal recruitment only so we'll see what happens.

Cabinboy

[Santa'sLittleHelper]

Hi Cabinboy
Congratulations on you Sunnies interview They'll ask questions like "tell us how you've dealt with an unhappy/difficult customer?" "give us an example of a time you've gone above and beyond a customers expectations?'" remember listen to the question asked.
At sunnies its mainly single flight attendant operation sometimes two so you'll need to show them that your very capable of working on your own and as a team. They're all very lovely ladies , you'll be great.
Best of all 2002 you'll never have to work on the Shorts, eeeeeeeeeeeeeeegggggghhhh.

Santa stop here. ;)

[dreams]

well done, cabinboy, u deserve it, i hope u go well, i know you will, let us know how u go and everything..i had a interview with qantas holidays the other day, not sure how i went, but didn't like the atmosphere when i walked in the building!!! anyway good luck

[Sweet N Innocent]

CB,
C O N G R A T U L A T I O N S !!
Give it all you've got, we all know that no one deserves a FA possie more than you, Cloudy, Dreams and the rest of the gang.
Was in Brisvegas on Monday for my uniform fitting, and also found myself a great apartment with a girlie from Syd that was on my flight that starts training on the same day as me... what fate! Getting very excited now... :)
CB, go get 'em in your intervews...just take it easy, relax and let all the reasons why you will be a great FA shine and you will knock 'em dead!
Keep us all in the know.
Cheers
SNI ;)

[cabinboy]

Oh Dreams !! NO NO NO !!!......if your going to apply for QF in the call centre you should definetley only go for mainline reservations, Qantas holidays is run seperately and without sounding brutal is full of ex bitter travel agents, and without sounding nasty again ...is full of the people who got rejected from qantas mainline res..( i kid you not )....overall the atmosphere in QF holidays is a bit rough and these guys are not kept in the loop as much as the rest of QF.

Please email me and I will only be to happy to supply you with the details for the QF mainline MEL call centre....please apply.....I know someone like you would be perfect....don't worry about QF holidays, it is very different to mainline.

Also - on staff cv it tells you if someone has " manually reveiwed " your resume...I can tell you that since my virgin interview and the recent call from sunstate the cabincrew website does not reflect that it has been opened by these airlines...so be advised guys....it doesnt mean they haven't looked at it.
:D

[smile]

Hi Cabinboy, Congrats!!! Looks like that little cheer I put in the CC 2002 thread worked!!

Anyway you are going to have to let us know what you are doing different from the rest of us!! This is the second time Sunstate have recruited since I have been on cabincrew.cv-- and the second time I have not heard from them <img src="frown.gif" border="0">

I think I might just go the old fashioned way and send them a dirty big envelope filled with reasons to recruit me!!! <img src="tongue.gif" border="0"> and maybe some chocolate --- although i don't think choccy will go too well through the post with our weather!

ps check your email

[cabinboy]

SNI,

I bet you looked damn fine in that Virgin uniform on monday ! Which suburb is your apartment in ? Please don't tell me you are going to shack up in the "cathedral place apartments" with the rest of the VB crew ? <img src="tongue.gif" border="0"> ..Welcome to the Sunshine state !

Smile - I just keep resending my cv to the airlines via staff cv once a month. This ensures my details are up to date and clearly shows I am still interested by updating my details monthly. That is my only trick of the trade !

Well guys, the countdown has started, the cv is being is tailored to suit sunstate, new shiny shiny shoes are being purchased ( the girls will be checking their make-up off the reflection of my shoes ), interview questions are being rehearsed and skin care and fitness programs are well underway !

pffffft ! :)

CB

[Mr Seatback 2]

WHO'S IT ALL ABOUT CABINBOY? WHO?? GO ON TELL ME!

YOU! THAT'S RIGHT! YOU YOU YOU!!!
IT'S ALL ABOUT YOU!!! :)

Now the countdown begins - you see everyone, it was a few months before my 23rd birthday that I started flying - so naturally, Cabinboy here (a few months short of his) should start flying too!

AND can I just say...PRETTY! THAT'S WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT! PRETTY PRETTY PRETTY! YOU'RE THE PRETTY ONE! CAUSE YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE SHOES THAT PEOPLE WILL BE SAYING "oh my god, my shoes aren't anywhere NEAR as shiny as his!"!! People will be going home crying because YOUR shoes are soooooo much better than theirs! Oh yeah baby...you better believe it...it's a ruthless wannabe community out there...

And one more thing my friend - ABOUT BLOODY TIME TOO! IT TOOK ME LONG ENOUGH TO GET UPSTAIRS! NOW IT'S YOUR TURN! AND DREAMS, CLOUD NINE, ETC...YOU'RE ALL NEXT KIDS!

:) :) :) I WANT TO SEE EVERYONE FLYING BY THE END OF THIS YEAR! FAILURE TO DO SO SHALL INCUR MAJOR CONSEQUENCES!! :) :) :)

Just remember everybody, four very important words you must say before, during and after your interview...and daily just to instil that extra bit of self centredness:

IT'S ALL ABOUT ME!

And why is it all about you???

CAUSE I'M THE IMPORTANT ONE! I'M THE PRETTY ONE! I'M THE SKILLED ONE THEY WANT! ME ME AND ME!

(I always get this excited when I hear someone has a flying interview...time for a Bex and a nice lie down I think...) <img src="redface.gif" border="0">

[cabinboy]

2 Colleagues at work today got given their start dates at sunstate for f/a ground school, wonder if they are recruiting to add more to the waitlist for future recruitment or what ?

Anyone know ?

[smile]

Mr S 2, Does this mean that because I am a couple of months off my 24th birthday that I am a step behind the mark <img src="confused.gif" border="0">

[Mr Seatback 2]

Far from it matey! 24, 25 - whatever your age, YOU ARE THE IMPORTANT ONE!!!! You're NEVER a step behind!

[smile]

Mr S 2, Looks like you missed your calling-- you should be a motivational speaker. <img src="tongue.gif" border="0">

Merry X-mas to you my friend.

[Cart_tart]

hey...I started flying a couple of months before my 23rd b'day too.......
It's your time CabinBoy!!!!!!
Good luck lovey!
I'm sure you'll do GREAT!!!
Luv
Carty
<img src="tongue.gif" border="0">

[Tarantella]

OOOH Freaky!
I started flying 3-4months before I turned 23 as well....
9 years later, I'm still here <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

CB, did my ICQ authorisation work??

[cabinboy]

Hi Tarantella,

The icq auth did not work, not sure what happened there ? Long time no see on this forum, anyone would think your a flight attendant ! :)

Check your email.

CB

[smile]

Cabinboy, you are going to have to make some time in your busy schedual to get together with me because......... I have a Sunstate interview too.

I was called yesterday while I was at work and returned their call this morning and have been booked in for the 14th of January!!!!

The lady I spoke to was very nice, which makes me even more excited to have the chance to become part of that team!!

To everyone else keep resending your cabincrew.cv application to show you are interested. When I logged into the site it did indicate that my resume had been looked at. So don't give up!!! :) :) :)

[cabinboy]

Go Smile ! Go Smile !!

WOOOHOOO !! YEHAAA !!

Did you update your Cv on staff cv like I told you too ? Was it after you updated it that they called you ? ( just trying to figure out if my theory is correct ? )

I was offered the 14th Jan smile but I took 9th Jan, so I'll be able to tell you the gossip.

Ok everyone, thats two of us with Sunstate interviews..........now we need help in finding out what questions they are going to ask us etc etc

CB
P.S - Just bought myself a pair of $195 shoes for the interview and a $60 tie - THIS TIME I MEAN BUSINESS !

[smile]

I was offered the choice of the 14th or 16th of Jan which I read as there still being interview places left to fill.!!!

Anyway I updated my cv the day I read that you got your interview. I really thought that it was a useless thing to do-- I mean I thought that they had already looked at the site and why would they go again--- but they did and they found me!!

Besides it looks as though all the Qantaslink regional are recruiting, every time you log onto cabincrew.cv another one has been searching the database. Does this have anything to do with the rumour of lots of new aircraft being bought at the moment?

-----------------------

keep smiling :)

[Mr Seatback 2]

HOORAY HOORAY! That's 2 of you!!!

I imagine the questions would be very similar to the Eastern ones (all targeted selection, company knowledge type questions). When I last went thru the Eastern one (in April this year), it felt very fierce (question after question being fired at you)...

Those of you who have been to the Results Centre should use the "Mock Telephone Interview" service - REALLY helped me get focussed on my answers etc before I went in!

Those of you who HAVEN'T been, send me an email and we can discuss further!! Hell, I've been thru 11 - I should at least REMEMBER the type of questions they asked! Practise makes perfect and all that!

[cloud nine]

Well done SMILE!!! Thats so cool. I wish you and CB all the luck in the world.
i will go through my Results Centre bible and check out the interview process for you both real soon.
Looks like only Brizzie people are getting called up at the moment....bad for me, but great for you guys...

Chat soon <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

[cabinboy]

santa's little helper did you get my email ? you sound like a sunstate girl !

I'm looking for inside goss !

santaslittlehelper

[smile]

Hi everyone, Just thought I would mention that I have seen that Sunstate have been checking out the cabincrew.cv site a few times over the last few days.

[cabinboy]

Smile - I also see that virgin and eastern are poking around cabin crew staff cv also. Does virgin have anyone left to interview ? I think they have just about interviewed all of Australia !

How is your interview prep going ? I have a few days left and I think I am almost there as far as prep is concerned.

Please god, let me be the chosen one...

Cabin Boy - Sunstate Boy

<img src="smile.gif" border="0"> Smile...you said you updated your CV on Staff cv. Did you add more info or change data? I havent updated mine as there has not been any changes since I registered, but I did resend it when I heard they were recruiting. But...boo-hoo...I havent heard anything. My cv has only been looked at 4 times. Have you any hints for me?
Anyway Im looking very forward to hearing how you and CB go. Im crossing my fingers for u both. <img src="smile.gif" border="0"> <img src="smile.gif" border="0"> <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

[cabinboy]

Thanks cloudy for your support and the email you sent me with those sample q's.

Mr seatback and I today conducted a mock interview (over the phone) which made me realise there is still so much to prepare for.

Smile thanks for the phone call, did you get the history email I sent you?

[smile]

Let them know that you are very very very passionate about this industry. Cloudy, don't give up!!!
The only things I change on staffcv are how long I have worked for my current employer!!! Other than that I just resend and resend. Unfortunatly they don't let you tell them anything that will make you stand out from the crowd, so follow Kely's advice and jump on the snail mail bandwagon- or even the email. Maybe print out a copy of what you have put on the staff cv site and put it in your letter.

Cabinboy -- thanks for your email. I will try to call you Tuesday night for your final best wishes. Nice and early so you get plenty of sleep!! <img src="tongue.gif" border="0">

SMILE :)

[cloud nine]

Go CB and Smile..Woo-Hoo......not long for you both now!!!!

Kely, my girlfriend told me that she emailed you. Im sure you two will get on really well at Hazo's. She is lovley...

[qfcabin]

I have to tell all you guys how refreshing it is to see your enthusiasm..I have been in this caper for over 30 years, and it seems to me that anyone with your enthusiasm deserves at least a chance...make sure you know your airline and all about it is all I can help with ..and NEVER believe rumours in this game! Wait till you see the evidence with your own eyes re start dates, nuumbers being recruited etc. And do remember it's NOT an easy job..it's bloody hard! Have fun!!!!

[Iguanahead]

kely,
Don't worry about the choices you have made, just go for it now. You can't preempt what will happen in the future.
The first thing you have to learn to live with in this industry is that it is always changing, always evolving, and that everyday will bring a new challenge.
I've been in cabin crew now for 14 years, domestic and international, and I learnt really quickly never to assume anything. I only planned to do it for a year or two!
You'll love your new job for however long you do it, and on the brighter side if something was to happen with Hazo look at the experience you'll rack up. And as you know all airlines love you to have experience.
Safe and happy flying to you!
:)

[Kem]

Hey Cabinboy, how did your Sunnies interview go? Just got another reject letter from Eastern to add to my steadily growing pile. Made it to second interview stage so at least I didn't have to do the walk of shame after the group session. Hope you have better news! <img src="frown.gif" border="0">

[cloud nine]

Kem.....I totally feel for Eastern, how terrible they must be for not seeing your talent!!! <img src="frown.gif" border="0">
Keep your chin up matey, you will get there in the end, just like me,CB, Smile , Dreams,Doohan and everyone else. We are way to dedicated to not make it.
All I can say is put it down to experiance....

Dont give up just yet..I think that quiet a few of us will be lucky in 2002..just a gut feeling that I have...

Take care <img src="wink.gif" border="0"> <img src="wink.gif" border="0">

[Kem]

Thanks for your kind words Cloud Nine. Just a bit frustrating not being able to get feedback. Was looking forward to posting a "got the job" message. Think I've got a better chance of winning lotto (hey now there's a thought, no more interviews!) :)

[cabinboy]

Hi my friends,

Sunstate interview was good - I answered all of the questions very well and was really proud of myself. But just like all interviews you just never know how "they" perceived you, and...what they think of you.

Believe it or not - I want this sunstate job more than virgin, so it's going to hurt if I don't at least get invited back for a second interview. Sunstate are just so warm and friendly - it gives me goose bumps !

I'll let you know the outcome

CB
p.s- go smile babe, show them what you've got! Let's make their decision on who to recruit really hard !

[smile]

Hey Cabinboy,

Their decision will be really easy-- they just need to recruit YOU and ME!!! :) :)

[cabinboy]

Hello again,

Well everyone I had a gut feeling that today the postman would deliver my fate (2nd interview or not ?), I know that sunstate are very fast with giving you a response so I sat and waited for the postman !

As the postman approached I started getting very nervous.......then.......he handed me an A4 envelope with Sunstate titles on it.....I knew damn well a rejection letter doesn't come in an A4 envelope.

Oh yeh ! Oh Yeh !.........2nd interview !! woohoo.
Interview date is TBA.

well....I am 1/3 of the way there..no need to get excited yet...at least I know I am not stuffing up anything with my inital appearance etc etc.

Cabinboy

[smile]

Yeah Cabinboy... how does it feel!!!

I know I'm feeling nervous as all hell!!!

Second interview... did the A4 enelope have anything in it about what the next interview is all about. Because (thinking positive) we will hopfuly be preparing for that one together too.

I have Sunday off work so all my last minute prep will be happening on that day, so don't be surprised if you get a call (or ten) from me then.

Talk to you soon

Love Smile :)

[Santa'sLittleHelper]

That's fantastic CabinBoy.

Best of luck .

I'm so very excited for you. When is your interview ??

WOW !! I've got a smile that goes from ear to ear.

Santa you ROCK

[cabinboy]

Hi Guys,

Sunstate second interview date is TBA....they haven't told me...they said they will contact me. The only thing is that I am off to Fiji on 19 January for a well earned rest, I told them this at the end of the interview as a courtesy and they said they will work around it should I be successful for a 2nd interview as this process can go over a 3 month period.

Santa's helper - thank you so much for your help, some of the things we talked about helped me a great deal in the interview process and I cant thank you enough....I really mean it. :)

CB

[smile]

Hi everyone,

Well I have just arrived home from my Sunstate interview... and I don't feel very confident. I became quite nervous as soon as I walked into the interview room--which is strange as I am usually quite sure of myself. Maybe it is a reflection of how much I want this.

Oh well--- now for the wait. I hope they understand that I was a little nervous and underneath those nerves beats the heart of a true F/A.

If anyone form Sunstate is reading this please let them know that I would be perfect for the job and would make them proud to have me as part of their team!!!

Love (a very nervous) SMILE

[smile]

Thanks for your words of encouragment Biccy C. But I know how cool, calm and collected I was for the Qantas interviews-- well this was totally the opposite. I even caught myself swiveling (very slightly) on my chair. <img src="frown.gif" border="0">

But it's OK. At least I know and understand why my rejection letter will arrive in the mail over the next few days..... This is not a negative attitude-- this is reality.

I also stuttered, paused in the middle of a question (my brain stopped thinking right in the middle of a train of thought), I think the tremble in my voice would have registered quite high in the 'ricter scale', not to mention one of my answers was a little silly ( now that I think about it).

Although other than the chair swiveling thing, my posture and body language was pretty spot on -- looking people in thier eyes, facing the person who asked me the question, standing tall, and I smiled at everyone who was within a 10km radius of me-- and I looked pretty good if I do say so myself. (Thanks to last minute foils in my hair the night before to fix up a recent 'brunette to blonde' disaster! <img src="tongue.gif" border="0"> )


Anyway it is not the end of the world- and 'yes' my friend you will see me in the skies- maybe a little later than sooner!!

I just have to mention that if anyone else has an interview with Sunstate---they are really lovely people so there is no need to be nervous-- really!

Love SMILE

[cloud nine]

Smile....Are you sure that all those things you think you did so badley were picked up by HR?

I know what you mean by the stuttering thing...Kem and myself will be able to relate a bit to that one after funny discussion on "where did that stutter come from?". Dont worry matey, you are not the only one to develop a speach problem in an interview...been there done that!!!!

Any way...goodluck and if worse comes to worse and you get a "no" letter...just put it down to experiance....

I will fill you in on my Eastern interview in a few days.....sheisk!!!! I hope they dont sit me on a chair that swivles.....thats just another thing I have to remember not to do!!!! :)

[smile]

Cloud Nine

I'm 99% sure that my interview was that bad. It's OK -- it is all experience, and I believe that everything happens for a reason. _ Gosh I must be learning alot of lessons!!!

Love SMILE :)

[cabinboy]

Smile - you are currently experience the " I'm going to tell myself I haven't got a 2nd interview so that I won't be too let down when I get rejected syndrome !! " ...........WELL.............STOP IT !!! I went through that and go through that everytime, it just makes you stress more !

You have got all the right qualifications, don't worry about it yet until you hear from them. You were just as prepared as me and sounded like you did well when we spoke on the phone straight after - keep the faith ! Fingers crossed

as for that bl**dy swivel chair !! I did it too ! I found myself moving back and forth, it must be a trick !!!

CB <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

[cloud nine]

CB...you crack me up!!!! Where on earth do you get all those ever so funny saying's from????? :) :)

ok...smile...a big thanks to you for picking up on the "swivle chair" trap!!! Yes we all will now remember that when we are actually asked to be seated on the swivle chair..its really not to make us feel at ease..its actually a plot and a ploy.... SHEISK....this is the lowest form of wannabe torture...I thought swivle's were invented for enjoyment....never ever again will I be able to relax on a god damm swivle......Cabin boy..you sound as though you really have the swivle movements down pact, rocking to and fro!!! :) :)

[smile]

Thanks Cabinboy for the positive 'brain-bashing', but when we spoke right after the interview I think I was suffering from-- " I know I can do this job, and I am very very qualified not to mention very passionate about it. Therefore they can see all this when not getting dizzy from all the chair swiveling." syndrome....

Lucky I know what a good and what a bad interview is-- and therefore are not getting my hopes up for this. But don't worry I haven't totally given up-- maybe Sunstate is very familiar with the symptoms of the above syndrome and are going to give me a second chance to prove myself!! <img src="tongue.gif" border="0"> <img src="tongue.gif" border="0">

Besides I was 90% sure I did well in my VB interview and we all know how that turned out..........


love SMILE

[cloud nine]

Okay Biscuit Chucker...

You are now the proud owner of "the funniest prune one liner" in HISTORY!!!!!

I am still cracking up over the swivle comment!!!! Very very funny!!!

[smile]

Well the 'ole banana chair and cocktail are a little late for me. I'm sure that if they were part of my interview then I wouldn't have been so darn nervous. <img src="tongue.gif" border="0">

love SMILE

[cloud nine]

Thanks Biccy C......your a sweety...

I will fill you in on Sunday...have fun in NZ...lucky you!!!!

Take care my friend... <img src="wink.gif" border="0"> <img src="wink.gif" border="0">

[smile]

It's official. My reject letter came today.

Well at least I knew that it was coming. But this one says you have to wait 12 months between reapplying. ouch

Oh well it is up to you cabinboy!! Make us proud!!

Love SMILE

p.s best of luck for your interview too cloudy--you'll do well. :)

[cloud nine]

OH NO!!!!!!

Smile...Im so sorry! That really is bad news huh?!?! Its an awful feeling isnt it, unfortunatley a feeling that so many of us have felt, and may even keep feeling in the times ahead.
But we are all way to dedicated to not eventually get in. Just think...this obviously isnt your time just yet..it will come...Im sure of it. I am putting my life on it that 2002 will be our year.
As I said before practise my friend makes perfect....God!!! we are just going to be the BEST ever soon. So good infact that they wont want us to leave the interview, they will be begging for us to board the plane right there and then :) !!!
Turn this situation around and make sure it adds even more fuel to your fire of success!!!

Take care... <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

[cabinboy]

Here Here Cloudy ! Smile, bad luck mate. I don't want to patronise you any further but I just wanted to let you know that I am proud of you. Your attitud to your rejection letter is excellent, unlike alot of us,you haven't "spat the dummy" or slammed sunstate for not processing your application any further.

Good on you for being a good sport. You WILL get there...i'd bet on it. <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

CB
p.s - I'm not there yet smile, there will no doubt be a few tears and a sob story from me in a few weeks time if I dont get in ! No doubt this thread will go past the 100 reply mark !

[Ditch]

Smile,

I feel for you mate, but as others have said, your positive attitude will be what gets you in one day. It may not be Sunstate, but there is a lucky airline out there waiting for you.

I dont know you as well as the others, but you really deserve a break, and I just wish there was something we could all do for you.

Its times like this that make me realise how lucky I am to have my job. I hope one day, very soon, that you too will feel the joy that your dream job will bring you.

Until then, please stay as lovely as you are. You, along with all the regulars in this post are one in a million. Cloudy just got in, and you are next. Stay positive, believe in yourself and use this as a benchmark for this year. Its still only January and its going to be a long year, full of many changes..and they will all be good.

Take care Smile..and do just that <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

[cabinboy]

Hey all,

2nd sunstate interview this week (wed), i'll keep you posted !

[cloud nine]

Goodluck CB!!!!! Fingers, toes, legs and arms will be crossed for you on Wed... Remember its all about YOU YOU and YOU!!!! No one else! You are the man....... . :) :) :)

[smile]

good luck Cabinboy, you'll be great!!! <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

[FloatJockey]

Hey Cabin Boy, I followed your story for a while and would like to know what happened with your interview. I was visiting their HR last week with my husband (he had an interview for an F\O position and I sneaked in with my CV!). They told me they recently hired something like 7 or 12 C.C. (not sure abt. the number) 'cause they got more aircrafts. I wonder if you are one of them.......

Pilot's wife

[gjharris1]

Hey FloatJockey!!!

Hope all goes well with your husband for the F/O position.

Would I be able to get him to email me about what happens at the interview, his qualifications etc ...I have applied and just wondering what experience they are looking at before inviting people to an interview.

Thanks in advance.. <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

JetRacer

[FloatJockey]

Well JetRacer, if you have 5000 hours, PIC experience and a 737 NG endorsement (that did cost you over 30'000 A$ in September 2001) and ask for a job at Sunstate, they'll probably tell you what they told us: "You should work for VB! How'z it you come here to look for work?" <img src="frown.gif" border="0"> . .The point is that VB doesn't give a damn about my husband and we cannot understand why. <img src="confused.gif" border="0"> . .Well, long story short, these people are great even when they say no. If you are lucky enough NOT to have a 737 type rating, then you might have better chances!. .Good luck!

FloatJockey's sweety

[gjharris1]

FloatJockey - Thanks for the information. No I dont have a 737 endorsement so maybe that may help me?? Anyway, see what happens. <img src="wink.gif" border="0">

Cabinboy - Well its Wednesday!!! Hope all went well with your second interview. Hopefully good news will follow soon .... Good Luck! :)

JetRacer

[smile]

Cabinboy, we're waiting......

How did your interview go??

Tell us all the juicy gossip.

Love SMILE :)

[FloatJockey]

By the way, did anyone apply through seek.com.au for casual pitcrew/check-in staff at sydney airport, posted 3 days ago? Not that I fancy staying on the ground but it's another way to "sneak in" :) :) . .I e-mailed my resume, called the guy but only got to talk to the switchboard to find out they were submerged with requests and that they would let me know shortly... (Sounds pretty classic... anyone who tried the VB switchboard knows what I am talking about... <img src="rolleyes.gif" border="0"> . .Any info appreciated!

Cheers,

Cabin Boy - well done you! Yourself, Kely and Cloudy have started the ball rolling and am sure it's now just a matter of time for the rest of us. Big cheer and all that.

FloatJockey, I applied for the ground crew job as well. Apparently they have had over 400 applications for only 5 casual positions. Mystified over which airline it is though. Anyone know?

Hiya Kem....

Goodluck...

Thanks for the info Kem. Unfortunately they never came back to me... who knows... <img src="frown.gif" border="0">

I really start losing hope... maybe I didn't try hard enough or my background simply sucks (dive instructor), buuuh...

Anyone with something POSITIVE?

What about you Cloud 9? I read you are stage 2/medical? Did you have previous C.C. experience?. .How is it going?

hi there all,. .Been reading your posts about ground staff being advertised. i too applied for this position. advertised in the local paper (St George and Sutherland Shire) thru a recruiting agency, rang agency to ask what happened, said that Virgin blue had already filled positions, not using applicants from agency...was told 400 applicantions sent in, and 15 positions available.. .Miss22..any news from QF..me none.

. . When i am anxious i am living in the future[B]When i am depressed it is because i am living in the past

Hi T.-D., thanks for your info. I got the envelope today in the mail. It is R.C. The course is very expensive: AUS 264.- manual incl. I don't think I can afford that.... .The info I got (the 7 pieces of paper enclosed all look like adds for cellulite cream by the way...) say:. .- vb is expanding australia-wide (Darwin and Tasmania) and is recruiting! (really?????). .- Eastern (Q-Link) is accepting applications for future positions based in Sydney.. .- Also: there are many overseas based opportunities available . .and the best: "Let R.C. help you GET THE EDGE"!

Also loads of personal comments from successful attendants saying "thank you, you have changed my life..." blah blah...

Not for me.
