Anyone else use the new MRS???
hear say only, you need to specify dates and dosages of all mediations for the past 2 years.

Hey. I also have received the same email. I believe that you will only go to the next stage if you passed the first. But not certain about that.

My application status now says "reference checks complete". Is that a good sign, have I passed the reference checks?

Hi Seiran,

My application status is also "reference checks complete" and has been for about a month now. It feels painfully long as we are so close to an offer!

Jim05,

It's so painful, presumably on the day the references were contacted they would know immediately if we passed or failed the checks, would our application status change to "application outcome" if we failed?

Yeah, from previous posts the "application outcome" status is the kiss of death. So I would think our current status is a good sign.

Yeah used MRS
It's very detailed. Wanted to know types of medication used including over the counter. The dame will then question you about them all

Hi,

I recently attended an assessment centre in Brisbane. I was wondering if there's any of the other attendees on here? If so have they heard anything back yet, or have their online accounts updated yet?

Thanks ! And hi!

Hi all, my telephone interview scheduled in few days for Trainee air traffic controllers. Anyone can give hints about what kind of questions they ask?

Almost here!

My Melbourne Assessment Centre date is just around the corner! It's been a long wait, mainly because I couldn't get to the Brisbane Centre they initially invited me to (I live in Melbourne) but I'm excited to finally have it so close.

I've been 'preparing' quite a bit recently. I know you can't really prepare for this too much, a lot of you say so, but you know, every bit of info helps and it's good to keep sharp and keep my head in the game.

Anyway, I'm just wondering if anyone can give me any info on the "simulation exercise". I know you can't really talk about Assessment days too much but I feel like it could mean a lot of things so any sort of hints would help.
Do you use any sort of equipment? Is it on a computer? Do you talk into a mic or just type commands? Any clarity would be helpful.

VanillaCoke,

There is nothing you can do to prepare for the simulation exercise, in fact I think I found it the easiest part of the day.

Ya Seiran's right. There's no simulator I've found pre or post that would help sorry. Best advice I can give is to take a deep breath, listen intently to the instructions of the exercise and go with the flow.

Did I mention listen to the instructions

Hey Sophie Clark
I was in a Brisbane AC the other week, they have checked my references now. Hopefully they get to yours soon!

I've been in "application outcome" for almost a week now with no correspondence... Any other experienced ATCs who have completed their interviews in the same boat?

I called up HR to see if I missed an email and they said that they were still deliberating, with results for everyone coming out this week?

Seiran,

I've been told they need to wait for all of the applicants references checks to be approved, and that they aim to get back to us by late June

Thanks for the replies. Is it really nothing like ATC-SIM: a web-based air traffic control simulator though?

Hi Maggie,

Chances are it's the same result I had the first time of not yet. It's a painful wait and I hope yours isn't...
