Wow, I can`t believe it! I just got a call from Air New Zealand. The woman told me that I passed the phone interview and invited me to an Assessment Centre in London Heathrow! I scheduled it for March 14th at 1:15pm. They also had March 12th available, but I have to work that day. She told me that the Assessment will last a half day. I am so excited.
Warwicks, hope you also passed! Maybe I will see you in London soon!

@ warwicks: I am so sorry that you didn`t receive a call! Don`t give up, there are a lot of other great companys to work for.
@ MissApproach: Congratulations that you got invited! Please let me know how the Assessment went.
Did you already receive your invitation by e-mail? I didn`t. Hope I will get it soon.
Do you think that I need a first aid certificate if I am already working as cabin crew?

Yes sorry Warwicks, is there any chance you can re-apply to Virgin?
Aliyyah: Yes I will no worries! I have no idea what to expect
. Maybe I should have chosen the 14th!! 
I have not received the email yet either, I started to worry that I had given the wrong email address.
With regards to the First Aid Certificate, I am sure I read somewhere that you had to have one. But some Airlines are reluctant to give them to you when you leave. Can I ask who you are working for?

Yes, it`s a pitty that I won`t be able to meet you at the Assessment.
Maybe someone here can tell us something about the interview day? I am surprised that it will only last half a day. I thought it would last a whole day. But good for us! Especially good for me, because I don`t need to stay at a hotel. I will fly from Germany to London in the morning, attend the interview and in the evening fly back home.
Good luck for you too!
I am currently working for a small German Airline, based in Stuttgart!
So, I need to get an First Aid Certificate, probably better than to show up without it, right?

First Aid Certificate
At the Air NZ website it says:
First Aid
Prior to attending an Assessment Centre you need to hold a current First Aid Certificate (St. John's or Red Cross), obtained within the last six months. (First Aid Certificates are not required for registered nurses).
So, today I registered for a First Aid Course for Wednesday.
Although I am still not sure if I even need it, because I am already working as a flight attendant and we have a First Aid Course every year. And I also worked as a doctor`s assistant for 4 years.
But this way I am on the safe side, because I don`t want to show up for the interview with stuff missing! And it also can`t hurt to do the First Aid training again.

Hi
No they said they would email me all the details but as of this morning nothing has arrived. I'm guessing you are the same? I was worried that they had the wrong email address but I confirmed it several times with two different people on the phone?
I shall let you know when I do!

Confirmation email
Hi
Just got the confirmation email from Air NZ this morning.
They want you to bring an Ophthalmologist - eyetest too. I Referred back to the website and it says thats only if you wear contacts or glasses but it seems they are now asking everyone too provide that!! They do say you can supply it at a later date if sucsessful.
Also I have a St Johns 1st aid at work certificate but its over a year old! In my current job as cabin crew onboard a fast ferry I have ongoing 1st aid training onboard during drills etc...don't know if this is acceptable! They didn't ask me about it at telephone interview stage.
Guess I will have to call Air NZ to see whether it is still worth attending or not

Hello everyone,
I recieved my invitation e mail as well. I called them with regards to the first aid course and found out that the airline require an external first aid certificate.
Does anybody know what ones are suitable as there are so many out there and there seems to be a large variation in the cost of these!

Hey warwick....
Well done matey ( and the rest of you )
Check out st johns ambulance they will do a course for you - When I got job at ANZ they said that we could supply at a later date after the interview but as long as you get one - so if you have booked on to a course take the course info with you and that will prove you are doing it...
When I applied it was different to what happens now - so I cant give you any info on the interview - but i remember the 221 was about 40 mins and the group assessment was about 1.5-2 hrs long it was fun and i enjoyed the day. I decided to take Qantas in the end but I have a friend ( who lives in L'spa Warwick,) and she flies for ANZ at the mo she started last year and really likes it her money is quite good i think at ANZ the salary is lower but the allowances are higher so all in all i think works out similar to mine.
i also went for a medical with ANZ and it was a lot more thorough than QF but it was at an American Airlines Medical centre not that the two airlines test for different things but ANZ deffo used more gadgets etc etc but it was ok. the eye test is a new thing to me too.
Warwicks let me know how u get on good luck
xx
PS - qf are recruiting too !!!!!

Confirmation
Hi all,
I got my confirmation email too. They have been very kind to give us so much information, although it seems to be what I expected.
The Ophthalmologist test though!? I am not able to get this before my interview.
Qantas(NZ)wannabie-I guess we will meet on the assessment day! I will be wearing a kiwi on my head
!!
Thanks for the info Wan2fly. Let's hope it WILL be a fun day regardless.

Confirmation email
I had the telephone interview on a Monday.
I got the call on the Friday to say I had been selected for the assessment.
Then the confirmation email arrived the following Weds, so 3/4 working days.
