Virgin Australia - Wannabes & Recruitment

[hb78]

I tend to agree with flitegirl. Not a bad start. Sure I'd like more.... but it is on par with the airline I currently work for.

[ilana182]

I'd be stoked with $38k as a starting wage! Way more than what I do now!

[luvflying]

Yes the base wage is less than I expected...however there are other benefits like 6 weeks holidays, 10 days off in a roster.....there is also the opportunity to make extra with any overnights...I think most people that apply for cabin crew don't do it for the money - its the experience.....I feel so lucky to be given the opportunity to work for Virgin Blue as there are many people that don't get the chance....and Virgin Blue is slowly taking over the domestic market and becoming the favoured airline....Even if I do this job for only one year, it was worth it for the experience and the fact that i can tick another to do box off....so at the end of the day the money doesnt faze me

it's on again!

It's on again for MEL guys! good luck to all

Do you reckon it would be worth applying if I want to stay at BNE?

[luvflying]

If your not willing to move to Melbourne, I wouldnt bother applying for it...From reading the forums it seems that a transfer would take a while as there are waiting lists, and commuting looks as thou it would be a hassle especially with early starts and reserve days....remember that they advertised for Brisbane not long ago and then it was cancelled, no doubt Brisbane will come up again soon, after all it is there main base...hang in there for Brisbane base...good luck

[AirborneSoon]

Just remember that if they recruit you for a particular base it's because they want you in that base. Not because they want to transfer you somewhere else. Transfer lists are for people with a genuine need to move to be with family or follow their partners etc. Not so crew can get a backdoor entry into somewhere else. Be patient and wait for your preferred base to come up, it is the fastest way to get there.

Did anyone else receive email to re-apply for Melbourne Base??

[LadyJ1]

Hi Every One,

Just want to know does any one know what email address you use to contact VB about positions? Under recruitment process they say to contact via email...I can't find email contact?

[hb78]

LadyJ1

Email is below.

Didn't you just start with Tiger? Is it that bad that you want to leave already?

I received an email from VB inviting me to reapply for the MEL position. I also received a txt message via my phone telling me to check my email for the message. I was quite surprised and pleased that they took the time and money to notify applicants this way especially since it was such a let down when they previously canceled the recruitment.

Let the waiting game begin!

[ilana182]

Well I hope they do the same for BNE!

[LadyJ1]

VB

Hi firyice,

Are applications closing 02/02/2010??

[highup]

Hi everyone,

i went to a Recruitment Day in Syd last week. Just wondering if anyone knows how long you typically have to wait before you hear anything?

thanks!

[firyice]

Hi LadyJ1,

Yes, the application did state that the applications closed on the 2nd of Feb. Did others/yourself receive this same email? I'm hoping that the process will be short and sweet but the industry doesn't seem to work like that. Hopefully BNE applicants will get the same email. Fingers crossed to everyone that applies.

sydney vrd

hi highUp!

I had my vrd last week in sydney too! Haven't heard anything yet though. They did say within two weeks so fingers crossed we hear soon feels like I've been waiting for years! Good luck!

[calvin0349]

Hi everyone,
I know some of you have already gone for your VRD last week in Sydney. I was just wondering if anyone who has applied, but not heard yet, has any info re other VRD's?
I applied before the applications closed, and VB sent me a confirmation of receiving my application.
I heard rumours that there my be more ground schools allocated for the coming months. I really hope so!
Conrats to all starting ground schools in Feb. Keep the dream alive!!!!!

I've just returned from travelling overseas for six months and think I might have just missed the cut off date for Virgin. Do you think if I applied now I could still be in with a chance?

Thanks!

There's no longer a link to apply for Cabin Crew, so I think you have missed the boat. Someone correct me if I'm wrong?

Keep an eye out on the website and here (someone will probably post it), they may open applications again, you never know. Good luck

[ilana182]

Yeah I don't think you're able to apply unless there's a link on the website. Otherwise they would have all of us applying all the time!
