Anyone heard if they are successful/unsuccessful from the final cadet interview?

[Westieboy]

Also waiting from the final interviews.. assuming that both successful and unsuccessful candidates will be notified?

[GA Driver]

I know of a few internal applicants who have had the unsuccessful letter.

Internal applicants from jetstar??

[GA Driver]

Yep, from other departments

[Stretch06]

All should hear by the end of next week, successful and unsuccessful.

And remember if you don't get in, there are many ways to achieve the end result.

I’ve got no idea about the particular testing you will be doing so feel free to ignore but if it’s anything like all the current trends in airline HR it will be weighted heavily in favour of psychometric, reasoning and horrid spacial type questions where you have to identify patterns..nothing in your education will prepare you that well except perhaps this:

Cube??!? Looks a bit too spherical to be a cube

In all seriousness, aside from maths and physics, it'll probably be a bunch of those "what is the next pattern in the sequence?" tests that get progressively more complex. Would expect some logic and reasoning type stuff of the "read the brief paragraph, answer a question of the 'true/false/cannot say' variety... And no doubt one of those Myers-Briggs-type "I would rather stay in and read a book than go to a party - agree/disagree" personality questionnaire

Indeed, the Jetstar cadet programme website from the training provider CAE (https://www.cae.com/civil-aviation/aviation-professionals/become-a-pilot/our-pilot-training-programmes/jetstar-cadet-pilot-program/) indicates that they use the "ADAPT online assessment"...

• Maths
• Physics
• Aviation Knowledge
• Cognitive skills
• Coordination and Control
• Technical aptitude
• ADAPT Personality Questionnaire

A quick Google of "ADAPT online assessment" should give you a fair idea of what to expect.

Steve Zissou has recently proven, once and for all, that you can fit a square peg in a round hole if you try hard enough..
