Lssar, I feel you about that quiet time without the kiddos. I put all three of ours to bed early that night, relaxed with a cup of coffee, and then took my time getting through the test. It's the cognitive abilities test you're talking about; right? It is pretty tough, but in a way, it's actually kind of fun. Ha. Don't worry too much about trying to get 100% right, just do the best you can.

BTW, I'm also an international applicant. I made it passed the cognitive assessment last month, took the occupational personality test last week, and now I have my behavioral interview scheduled for this week. It's looks like they are contacting us in batches.

Hope you do well on the test, Lssar.

Thanks for the advice, gfosty! Yes, it´s that test the one that is waiting for me as soon as a can find a good moment (maybe next weekend: my wife is going to the beach and I´ll be left behind ´cause of work).

Congratulations for the phases you already left behind, and all the best for your next behavioral interview this week! I´ll probably send you a PM with some questions, if you don´t mind.

Good luck!

Ridiculous that you have to complete aptitude tests for a job you already do...

Good luck guys:ok: It is a long process. Just to give you an idea, I was invited for online testing in the beginning of March this year and received my official offer last week (Verbal offer about 3 weeks ago), so that's about 6 months for the recruitment process (From online testing to letter of offer).

Hi all!
Behavioural Interview tomorrow at 01:00pm AEST. That makes 07:00am my local time. That is probably the craziest time of the day as kids are getting ready for school etc....
Will be a fun session!

Good luck!! !turnleftrightnow!

Did you choose the time or did they choose it for you? With the kids waking up and all, I am pretty sure you cope utterly well under pressure! :)

You'll do great... I am still waiting to know the date and time of my interview.

All the best guys.

Had mine at 7 am too...Fortunately I had a room to lock myself into and the Mrs took care of all three gremlins. Good luck to everyone. If you're there already, who have something they want already. Chin up!

My interview is at 7:30 tonight. My wife and kiddos will be out at the gym to give me some time here to myself.

Thanks for the communication from you all. It's nice to hear from others who are also going through this process. Just curious, where is everyone from?

Good luck to all of you, guys!! All the best for you interviews! I have already contacted with some of you via PM, and I think that you are really very nice people.

Keep us updated!

Hi there all

Good luck to anyone going through the process. Did my interview last thursday and recieved my e-mail today for referee checks. Hopefully things will move nice and quickly now:O

Capedoctor,

Man, that's awesome. Maybe you'll have an offer before you know it.

So you literally found out your results within a week? Nice. Were you contacted by email or over the phone to let you know the results of your interview?

Gfosty

Email and on their website

@ Capedoctor
 

So you had the Line Manager Interview and not the Behavioural Interview, right?
Or did they skip the steps inbetween?


"1. Online application
2. Online cognitive ability assessments
3. Assessment of documentation and preliminary Training Needs Analysis
4. Occupational Personality Questionnaire
5. Interview
6. Spatial, diagrammatic and verification supervised testing
7. Line Manager Interview
8. Reference Checks
9. Pre-employment medical and security checks"

Alea jacta est!

Did my online assesment, waiting for results. Once again, thank you to all of those that helped with info.

I'll be back once the veredict is known.

Dió!

Lsaar, I hope you get good news soon about your test!

I got an email last week that I passed the interview and now AsA will be contacting my references. My guess is that it will be a few more weeks before I will see another email. Just waiting patiently with anticipation. :)

Anyone else get new updates from AsA???

@ gfosty
 

Thanks, gfosty!

Indeed soon enough: got the email this morning, I'm still in the race! I passed the online abilities testing, now time to wait and see if I progress any further.

All the best for all those interviews!

Dió!

How has it been working out from a practical point of view at the academy ?
What sort of course is it ?
Any info gratefully received

This is a new one to me. Anyone got any idea as to what to actually expect

Congratulations to all the ATCOs that are still on the race!!!

Does anyone know if Airservices has hired non-native English speakers this time?
