Yay!!! Congratulations SydneyShowGirl!!! That is amazing news! I had my interview yesterday for Melbourne based Cabin Crew.
I was just wondering how long your interview lasted, and the sorts of questions they asked you. I think I was in there for around 30mins... I really hope I get the job too, i've wanted this for so long!

Congratulations to all of you! You must all be so excited 
I still haven't heard. I applied 25th Jan and they sent an email saying they received my application. I'm still waiting with baited breath by my phone and computer. I hope I hear something soon.
Is anyone else in the same boat?

Hi, my first post, so congratulations to all those who have been accepted and good luck to everyone else.
I applied for SYD base on 17th Jan, receivd phone call on 5th feb (just over 2 weeks) then played anxious phone tag up until today. had phone interview today, lasted for 25min (they will go over your resume with you, ask about your duties/roles and why you left, they will then ask you ?'s about why you want to be CC and work for VB) if they are happy with all your answers I got offered an RD over the phone for next Tuesday.
Hopefully this gives you guys and guys who are still waiting some info on what to expect.
Can anyone tell me though what to expect at the RD?
Many thanks

Hey I know the waiting is killing you all (me included until this morning) but don't worry they'll be in contact soon. Apparently they are super busy at the moment so they are trying to catch up with everyone ASAP.
Also thanks for your continued support, this forum has been a wealth of information and help. Good luck to everyone going through the recruitment process. I really do honestly wish that we'll get to work together in the near future. Take care and let me know how you get on.

Phone Interviews
Hello
Just wondering if anyone knows the exact process for phone interviews, I had mine yesterday and was told she was going to collate everyones answers and phone back succesful applicants with a interview date...
If they dont ask you initially are you not succesful?? Im so upset I may have blown my chances :0(
Any advice would be so appreciated

Hi Lollicious,
from my experience at the end of the phone interview they invite you to a RD...if you are not successful they will send an email a day or two later..
Good luck, maybe they are doing the invitations to RD's a different way.

I suspected from what I have read on here that was the case...
I think that a phone interview is quite intimidating and rushed but I guess all you can do is try your best and hope you click with the interviewer.
I am pretty dissapointed because that 15 min conversation is your chance to sell yourself and I wasted it....
thanks for your help..

Uniform
Hey all, just wanted to let you know I got fitted for my uniform today! It was so cool, I ended up getting 2 skirts as the dress looked like a sack and the pants were gaping at the back. Four shirts, the beautiful red woolen trench, the creamy light trench, a red jumper, my belt and 2 pairs of shoes! We'll get our uniforms later during training, but I would of loved to have taken them home now. It's a great uniform and I'll wear it with pride.
How is everyone's progress so far? When I spoke to the recruitment team yesterday they did mention that they had a lot to get through, so don't panic if you haven't heard anything yet. Easy for me to say
, but I can assure you they are working through all applications as quickly as possible.

Does everyone get asked during their phone interview or has anyone been asked after?
I am so excited for all the gorgeous sounding people who got through I just want my misery of waiting to be over and know if the interview was a waste ....

Lollicious
Hi Lollicious I love the name, very cute!
I'm not sure how the invitation to RD works, but I was asked at the end of my phone interview if I could attend and they gave me a couple of different days and times to choose from.
Perhaps they do it differently each time to keep everyone guessing?!? Don't worry if you didn't get it this time, there will be other intakes at VB and others. Apparently Qantas will be doing an intake soon (I have a CC friend there who mentioned it), so I'd carefully watch the web site everyday.

hi all...
just reading all your posts and thought i'd add my input!
i applied for the syd feb position on the 21st.. received a phone interview which lasted about 15mins on friday (19/2). I think (and hope) all went really well....
I asked the lady how long the recruitment process took... and she said that once you send your resume in your shortlisted and make it to the phone interview. Then she said I will recieve an email before the end of the week either inviting me to RD or not, and from there they will call 2 referees, then a medical and then your invited to training.
So lollicious... dont be disheartened just yet... because maybe they're doing it different... like i said.... the lady said that i will recieve an email before the end of the week...
fingers crossed!!!

Phew!
Hi everyone,
Well I just wanted to let you all know that I finally got my phone interview this afternoon. I am going to the RD this Wednesday in Sydney.
Is anyone else out there going this Wed to the morning session?
Well, now I am frantically running around getting my hair cut, preparing my documents etc.
I am really nervous, as this is my first time doing this, so any tips would be really appreciated.
I hope to meet some of you, if you are coming this Wednesday.
Good luck to all those who are still waiting, your time will come!!!!!!

losing faith!!!!
i need some advice!!!
so reading some of the older posts compared to the newer posts, the recruitment process seems to be a little different. it appears that not long ago you had to wait the week to find out if you were successful to RD.. rather that straight after the phone interview.
so i was thinking? could it possibly be that because there are obviously more females than males applying, if the males sound decent, they make it throught straight away? and then the few EXCEPTIONAL girls as well?
as for everyone else there is a wait? cause surely not every every person could get an offering over the phone? if all the initial people got offered a place at RD then there would be no places left at the end.. right?
i guess i'm still trying to be hopeful.
your thoughts would be appreciated...
