Anyone got any idea about the screening phone call to determine who will be invited to an AC?

Do you mean some applicants who passed the Interrupt could be potentially rejected and won’t have a chance to be invited to the AC?

Btw I failed the Interrupt. So all the best to all the active applicants.

Yea, and I'm pretty sure it's not some but all, all applicants who are waiting for an a/c invite will get this screening call. Whether candidates will get eliminated from this call or kept in the pool for future a/c invites I'm not sure.

As far as I know most people who passed the Interrupt get notified within 1/2 days

Yea i got told i passed interrupt same day, that was March 5th and was also told "At this stage, we do not have a confirmed date for the Assessment Centre so will be placing your application on active hold until we have finalised this." the next time i heard from them was a few days ago when they emailed saying "Further to our previous communication, due to the high volume of applications we have received, we will be contacting everyone who has passed the interrupt test to have a short phone screen call to determine who will be invited to an assessment centre."
Don't think this has ever happened before ahaha just my luck

Nah the same thing happened to me, I had to wait 3 months for my A/C call after passing the interrupt, mind you this was over the xmas period

Looking back at this thread, up until a year or so ago there used to be an online video interview stage between the interrupt and AC. Sounds like this screening call is acting similar to that step.

It usually involves aptitude tests like numerical, verbal, and logical reasoning, sometimes followed by group exercises or interviews. Best to brush up on practice tests online sites can be really helpful.

howdy all, been a while. I'm through to assessment centre (yay!) and am waiting on the date to be finalized. I'm wondering what I can expect on the day, namely: how long does it take? Are the questions similar to round 1/2, or are they entirely different?

G'day, passed the interrupt test this week. Have a couple questions about the phone call they will setup before the AC. This is my 2nd time applying and last time this stage was a recorded video interview. Just checking to see if the phone call will be more of a casual get to know you or will they ask more formal interview style questions.

Hey mate, my AC a couple years ago the first half was a presentation and then a group activity with 3 other people to solve a problem. Then 2nd half was the panel interview where they ask you STAR style questions.

it’s a casual one bud, and just curious what stage did you get to last time, if you’ve done the ac before, any experience or tips you got out of that attempt that you’d be happy to share? Cheers

Tbh it was pretty straightforward, in my session there were 12 applicants and about 16 Airservices reps. There was one person assigned to each applicant to observe for the day. Overall it was very positive and everyone in there wanted you to succeed. Wasn't like they were trying to catch you out or anything. They sent me a pdf brochure of everything that would be on for the day so they try and prepare you as much as possible.

Just did the detail and coded reasoning, really didnt go well at all only got up to question 38 on coded reasoning out of 50. IDK its an odd test if only 2% pass and you just have to be wired for it I get it I just couldnt cut it, but also a lot seems to be a bit luck like how much you prioritise accuracy not knowing how difficult the later questions will be

Ac coming up

Hi all, finally an ac invite for next week.
I’ve noticed there’re no longer half day sessions but full day sessions starting from 9 finishing at 4. That’s a wicked 7 hours, I’ve got no idea what’s going to be happening lol

That's interesting, I think a number of years ago they had full day assessment centers but I think they did the interrupt test in person. Wonder what they will have you do, hopefully you won't be under the pump the entire time haha. May I ask what city and when you did the phone screening. I'm still waiting for my AC invite for Sydney, got the confirmation end of June and they said maybe around end of August they would do an AC up here.
