Seems like the group email has gone out to the externals.

Is this a purely behavioral questioning session on the video interview, or can we expect technical questions/maths problems etc?

I thought the video interview comes after the psycho tests, like for the Qlink selection process? Or have they done away with the psycho test stage now?

Psych testing is done after the video interview. It's the same as with the recent QLink traineeship applications.

Video Interview = Behavioural Questions
Psychometric = Numerical, Verbal and Logical.

Have a think of scenarios, it's very random. We all got asked very different Q's. As for the psychometric, plenty of practice and study material to prepare from online.

Good luck!

Guys lets be honest. This is a job that hasn't come available to external people for 8 years! You would have to be nuts to give other people the questions you were asked, because they are the competition, and they will steal the job away from you.

Good luck to all.

My sentiments exactly. There are probably 1,000+ external applicant competing for this job plus all the internals, fighting over 150 positions, and people are so naive that they want the answers spoon feed to them.

It's called a competitive process. Do your own research, read the material supplied and best of luck.

Knowing the questions to the video interview in advance would be extremely advantageous. Anyone who is serious about their Qantas application would be wise to keep the questions to themselves.

Sorry Parrot Pilot. I've no idea. That stuff is the sole domain of the HR people. Whilst the pilot assessors have some knowledge of the overall process we don't know specifics outside of the assessment Center days unless it's stuff we've picked up along the grape vine. Eg I didn't know there were 10 video interview questions until I read it on here and had a second hand confirmation via a mate who spoke one of the internal applicants.

There probably is a weighting and I have some thoughts about it but those thoughts are informed by gut feeling and experience rather than specific knowledge or information.

Good luck to all.

Just a warning to anyone applying for a Qantas posit. We are having MAJOR uniform issues. (Apparently looks s#%#%#). The white hats just look awful. Just hold off all applications till we have sorted the issue. Would be wonderful to show "crewroom" posts, to the planet regards issue.

Just after some clarification on the time line. Im assuming "within the next three days" is Wed Thurs Fri. A few guys have said it is inclusive of today and therefore need to submit everything by Thursday.

Does anyone have a definitive due date for submitting test and interview?

Cheers
