Thanks for that... Yes, my application is currently with NJE...
I have to admit, in terms of online application systems, the NJE one is not the easiest or most logical to follow, for me anyway.
Either way, I eventually got through it all!
Also another position applied for with them, London based, which may be a different way into private aviation in one way or another.

I am finding this all quite odd...
I had a phone call from NJE, asking me to confirm some details on my residency in the UK (I am British and lived here all my life...) as they thought my Passport information looked odd... But then, asked if I would be interested still in an interview. Of course, I said yes! I was told someone would call the following day to offer a date, time and location for said interview.
That was over 2 weeks ago, and nothing. I can't get in touch with anyone and am completely baffled by the whole thing.

Get used to it, this industry isn't known for it's courteous behaviour.
Took me about a year of knocking on doors, talking to chief pilots/flight attendants etc. before I got in.
Private aviation is full of sh*t, smoke and mirrors but still can be very rewarding if you play your cards right.
Hang in there, you'll make it.

Interesting replies everybody.
I too have applied for 2 jobs recently with Netjets and not heard a thing back. And Globaljet too have been in contact recently but since then, not a thing.
I can only imagine that all these business aviation companies are inundated with applications and can get the cream of the crop from whoever they want.
Still, i will keep trying!

I recently did a contract as Aircrew in KL Malaysia, we had a male flt attendant he did an outstanding job he also double as the owners wife PA. As he described it PIA lol . Anyways he was an ex Cathay purser and almost doubled his pay. It seems I ran into quite a few male flt att in Asia you may want to look into that area.
Im currently based in Singapore and have seen a few in my travels around Jakarta and Hong Kong as well. Try TAG Asia, Jet Asia, HK jet, Metro Jet HK, as well as Hong Kong Jet they are all in an expanding mode, Oh and Btw stay away from Sinojet HK crap outfit.
Look into it and good luck it all boils down to your professional attitude and qualifications.
Hope you land something as the corporate world is a blast and so much more fun than line work.

Tray Surfer: I am a male F/A and flying in Russia now.If you apply for a Job in BIZ -you can not choose the Location you like or not.
Most of the Posts are correct-in Russia- they prefer "blond,cute russian Girls".I call them "Prada-Gucci-i will marry soon"girls. The most important Thing is- if you want to start to fly in BIZ-you MUST offer extraordinary Service!Best Service, that makes passengers speakless!Than ,as a male F/A, you will be known, and the passengers will request you!
Good luck!

I'm getting the impression here that both patience and perseverance both are equally important.
Have finally managed to land an interview by pure chance. Can only give it my best shot and if anything go for the experience. At least next time I will know what to expect.
It's up to me now to shine!

Good Luck!
Very best of luck!
If, after the interview and you hear your outcome, you fancy PM'ing me to let me know any details you might want to share, I would be very thankful for any information.
Not to try and nick a job prospect or anything, just general stuff about the position and where/how you came across it etc...
Thanks,
TS

Hello again all,
I have Facetime initial interview with a chief pilot and current rotation cabin crew member for an aircraft.
I know the cabin crew member will probably focus more on the service side of the conversation and my food and service skills and experience. However, I want to try and be prepared for what the chief pilot may want to ask and talk about...
If you were/are a pilot, be it chief, or not, what would you be asking a prospective cabin crew member?
I understand it to be a 2 week on, 2 week off rotation position.
Any words of advice would be appreciated.
Warm Regards,
TS

Just a quick note of thanks to those who sent PMs and offered advice in relation to initial interview...
Heard that I did not get it, but it was very encouraging, thanks to the prep I was able to do.
You are all a brilliant mind of information, I sincerely appreciate it.
Best Regards!
