I kept in contact with one person who's been very helpful. She quoted it took 5 weeks for Airservices to update her on the outcome...

Hi im a newbie ..just wondering what's the difference between tower and enroute jobs. I have applied for the june one. After the online test..what does your portal show...online test completed only? Or are there any other messages. Thanks

Testing
 
Hi all,

What we're people's thoughts on the testing? Anyone not yet completed it?

I completed the online testing and checked on Thursday night - my message had changed to something along the lines of "you have been invited to complete the OPQ testing". When I logged back in on Friday, it had changed back to "Under Review".
I think that maybe with the mix-up with the link and the extension from the Wednesday to the Thursday deadline that there might have been some issue in the internal system. Hoping that we hear something soon! Good luck everyone else

Hi folks,

I checked online, my application status went from 'Online Testing Completed - under review' to just 'Online Testing Completed'.

Anyone know if this is good, bad or nothing important?

Atc applicant 9th Jul 2018 03:41

My one was never under review...it has been showing completed with a message saying..."you will be invited to the next stage of Opq's assessment in the next few weeks. Please ensure your email address is updated and correct."

no clues how long gotta wait though ..someone in this thread wrote 5 weeks 😂

Mine also says testing complete and when I view my application there is a message saying I'll be invited to compete the OPQ assessments within the next few weeks.
This is the same message that I saw on Thursday evening, so hopefully it is an indication of passing, guess we'll see via email.

Thanks for pointing that out to us. Mine actually states the same thing when I go into it.

My previous application from some years ago states 'Application Outcome', when I view application for that one it states something about reviewing the email they sent me.

I am quietly confident it is a good sign. Airservices recruitment seem pretty on the ball with the whole process and maintaining records and if you read the comment it seems pretty clear (verbal reasoning anyone?). Is there anyone on here that has applied who can see something different?

Atc applicant 10th Jul 2018 09:23

Thanks but did they just take out the phone interview stage? Or is it still there. Their website doesn't mention anything about the phone interview.

Dip_ATC 10th Jul 2018 11:12

They definitely removed the phone interview for the last few rounds of recruitment (instead they had an in person interview on the assessment day in Melbourne).

Assessment Centre
 
No email, but I received a call, brief phone interview and off to the assessment centre at the end of the month. How did everyone else go?

Vandelayy 12th Jul 2018 11:50

Was the call from a private number out of curiosity?

Yes, it was. I wasn't able to answer it though and they left a message

That's interesting that you haven't done the OPQ yet. Is this the 2nd time you've applied and thus completed the OPQ sometime in the past?

No, this is my first application, so not sure what the go is regarding the OPQ. Can anyone who has been through the process previously shed some light?

Hi jazzy, congrats on getting through to the next stage.
Across 2 forums, yours is so far the only report of any feedback or progress after the online testing. So now you've just made everyone even more anxious than they were already :p
*goes and checks phone and email another 7 times *

I am not sure if there are any "changes" as such to the testing. But the type of questions for each domain MIGHT change. For instance, one could study spatial tests with 3d cubes (because they used these in the test on the applicant's first attempt) only to end up with a different spatial test using rotated shapes, if that makes sense.

If you're not aware already, the tests involve verbal reasoning, numerical reasoning, numerical calculations, spatial reasoning and checking tests. On successful completion of this, you will be invited to complete the OPQ (occupational personality questionnaire). To my understanding, you will only go to the assessment centre if you pass both the Online Ability Assessment and OPQ.

Feel free to PM me and I'll link you some of the sites I am doing practice tests with.

Hi can you please suggest some sites for practice test. Cheers

It is wonderful news :D Good luck for the assessment centre! As previously stated, gotta brush up on some speed/time/distance formulas

Airservices
 
I didn't get through either.

​​​​​​Pretty gutted considering I was apparently at the next stage.

Good luck to everyone who has made it to the next stage.

What were you asked during the phone interview?

jazzycab 14th Jul 2018 04:37

Thanks CapnCoastie, kusinka and Chopz. Sorry to hear that some have missed out, hopefully you can be successful in the future. The Assessment Centre testing sounds a little daunting...

They basically just asked why I'm interested in aviation and working for them, then organised a time for the assessment centre.
