Hi there,
Good luck guys Please let us know your assessment process
Hey Flyhigh12,
I heard a rumor that DJ will hire a lot of new people this time.
Do you think the company needs a lot of cc now or maybe they want to put people on active hold list ??? Any information which you can give us would be appreciated.
Good luck guys

hey Ozcat,
If you have applied for Sydney Base, I dont think they will be an active waitlist. They want to expand the base as it is at present the smallest. So I don't think there will be much of a wait time. But don't take my word for it I am not 100% sure. Which base has everyone applied to?
Make sure you all let me know how you go.
Goodluck.

FYI - VB is short in all bases and are using CS as CC for Dec and January to fill the holes - an expensive exercise in the long term. I would expect to see massive recruiting now that EBA is in place which includes new lower entry salaries for newbies.

I hope they call me soon then!
It really feels like airlines don't care at all for those people who apply who have never done it before, even though we have all the requirements asked of us and heaps of life and customer service and travel experience.

Ive just noticed VB are now recruiting for BNE and MLB now...Im from brisbane so that would have been perfect for me!!!Is there literally no point in applying again? In my email it does say
We continually have ongoing recruitment needs and therefore invite you to keep in contact via our website www.virginblue.com.au. Should you be interested in any other employment opportunity, please submit your application online.
So obvioulsy the waiting 12 months before reapplying doesnt apply when you dont get through to the RDs. So would there be any point in applying again or should I just accept defeat?

Yeah I recently applied for the Melbourne base position and it said on the application that you should choose carefully the base because you can only apply for one. So now that I've applied for Melbourne but Brisbane is still listed on the page I'm not even bothering applying for that one.

Just move
You arekidding me people!!!!!
If you really want to work for VB and you say it is your dream, Live a little and just take a position in a port that you don't want. Just get in and then apply for a transfer. I was told in my training it was harder to get into VB than Medicine at Queensland Uni (in relation to applications versus positions available). If your offered a job have some balls and take a chance. You'll love living outside of your comfort zone. You don't know what it's like until you try it.
To be eligible for a transfer, you need to be in the position for 9 mths and have high performance and no performance management issues. If a position is available it's pretty streamlined.
Your probation (6mths) will fly and your 9 mths will come up in no time and if you have to stay for 12 mths, big whoop.
You are going to work for an airline for gods sake. You will get staff travel and get $$$$ for free flights to go home and see your family. They can even use it to come and see you. You can also bid for overnights in your home city.
Virgin want people who want the job, if you tell them you are willing to move anywhere for the job, you'll have a better chance.
I read posts from people on this forum that they rrrrrreally want the job. But when push comes to shove and they are offered a job, they turn it down and then whinge. Get with it people.
Here endith the rant.
