I believe he is referring to the cadets from 08/09. They were the first to go through the current recruitment process at the end of last year.

Hey all just curious whether anyone had gone into the website to check on their application?

Seems it directs now to qantas.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com rather than the old qantas.taleo.net...

Probably remembered the golden rules

1.Great landing Captain
2.Laughed at the jokes
3.Showed genuine concern over a beer at the investment returns of Division 1 super
4.Passed the maths test running a kitty
5.Havent seen it done that way but thanks for showing me

Thank you for your input

A number of Qantas HR and other functions (including Taleo) were migrated to "Workday" on March 6th. Not sure how this operates for potential employees but compared to another IT "innovation" in the week or two before that, the transition to Workday was relatively painless…....relatively.:8

Thanks for that C441, not having luck with old user/pass combo and it says to contact an admin when trying to do password reset.
Just toying with whether it'd be prudent to give HR an email, obviously don't want to harass but just want to make sure I haven't been lost in the migration!

Keg,
Don't know what your system is like now but, going back to the late 70's to mid 80's, I recall some really inexperienced pilots (4-500 hours and a bare twin endorsement) as well as some less than stellar operators that managed to squeeze through the cracks. A few are 380 cpts now.
Met one a few years back who appeared to forget that he had only ever had one , casual , junior instructor job before joining QF.


To the applicants ;
I feel for you but, even though
you have to prepare and roll over on command for a job, remember that the interview processes have been proven to be next to worthless. I read just yesterday that a CEO took his company employment screening and found that he didn't even rate a position as a cleaner.
Creating and runnng these processes is just empire building and back slapping. The good, the bad and the ugly slip through at similar rates.
Some pilots who were (are) far better than I ,never got a look into airlines and , some out and out liars and , some complete f-wits now command airliners.
If you don't get a shot, don't take it personally, just try somewhere else.
It is a much smaller world today with many more opportunities . Don' t wait on some BS ' hold file' that won't feed your family or limit yourself to your own back yard. Love that term ' hold file'. Hold for what?
Who knows where your future lies? There are better jobs, go out and find them.

Presumably the first courses on the 787 would be a Melbourne base with Perth basing kicking off later in the year?

It's funny cause it's true!!!

Dont forget....
6.Provided useful feedback after listening for 30-60min about the planned extension and renovation of the Sydney waterfront house.
7. Agreed with the assumption that 4million in cash was not enough to retire on.
8. Was aware of the SOP of "meet in the lobby at 6" for drinks.

This SOP has been amended to

'see you at 6? Nope' *

*meet non tools at a location discussed during cruise at a time which allows you to escape the crew hotel without being spotted by tools.:p

9. Per sector, be aware of good CRM practice..... "It was worse in my day son. 14 years to FO spot."
"Cobham, Jetconnect, Jetstar, Network.....what the hell are you talking about?"

It concerns me that you would have to find an 'excuse' or sneak out the loading dock. Whats wrong with 'I have other things to do-enjoy your layover-see you at pick up!'. If that causes a problem then there are many greater problems that need addressing first!:ugh:

6pm drinks (earlier depending on happy hour/sunset in HNL etc.) is one of the good parts of the job.
Unless you really don't like the rest of the crew or tired etc then why not socialise?
If you miss out on selection after the psych tests then maybe a look in the mirror is in order! ;)

6pm drinks at a bar in HNL sounds good to me! Where do the QF crew usually go? Dukes?

Nope, Ballarrinas these days!

Agree with clear to land....u guys need to grow a pair and learn how to say no thanks

There's been a generational change. No longer any "requirement" to meet for drinks at 6. Prospective recruits feel free to know your time off duty in a slip port is yours to do as you wish.

Hell, in my 20 years here its never been, nor felt like a requirement!

Although it is nice to stick together every now and then, good to include all sometimes.

Its back to the days that you had to pack a jacket, not just a work one!

Anyhooo.......:rolleyes:

I'm hearing 8 every month, that was from a manager in training dept...good news for all :ok:

Bugger! I was going to retire in 4 years at 60. Now I'll have to stay on 'til I'm 124!
