You will be fitted for a uniform before you start but you won't receive it until almost the end of GS. Yeah I know....
But trust me, once you've been living in it day in and out for a few months you'll really enjoy your days off when you don't have to wear it.

Hoping2fly: They called me and asked me to attend the medical, and then sent a follow-up email with the details of the medical centre etc. From what I have read on this forum most people get a call rather than email regarding the medical.
Are you waiting to hear back from them too? Which RD did you attend?

Waiting!
Hi Flyaway31, did my RD day early March, got the progression email nearly 2 weeks ago, I guess if you don't make it through the ref checks, they would email you fairly quickly??

Hi Hoping2fly, it seems like the recruitment team are super busy as it also took them over 2 weeks to call my references. I suggest you stay in close contact with your references and ask them to give you a bell if they are contacted. (And if you get the job don't forget to send them flowers to thank them for their great reference!)

Hi Flyaway, congrats with being asked to have a Medical...as i said all along, hang in there, it takes time, but the end result may just be worth it. Fingers crossed for you. Keep us posted!

Look closely at the SYD Cabin Crew on their website
Not sure if its just me but they seem to have merged both VA & VB
Cabin Crew for this round.
They state both VA & VB in the advert????
Sounds like the start of something....
or they just making less paper work for themselves.

Maybe they are doing it that way because we all apply for everything (well I know I applied for VA and VB) 
and it will make life easier for them to assess the candidates together. When I had my phone interview they asked me what I would prefer, VA or VB, but that I could only be in one recruitment process at a time. It is so time consuming to go through all the applications so perhaps it will make the process more streamlined- and easier for them to get back to everyone more quickly.

Hi Tyman I noticed that as well! I agree with Bluefish its probably to streamline things but also agree it does close the loop on people applying for one if they were unsuccessful for the other. I think its a smart move for the Virgin Blue Group and will save them time, meaning everyone should hear back faster!!!

Virgin Blue Melbourne
arghhhh I am so worried
I received a call on Friday from Virgin Blue for recruitment for the Melbourne base she had asked if I was able to talk at which I wasn't able to at the time and asked if she could call me back in an hour which he said sure and it is now Monday and I still haven't received her call back
I am so worried I have ruined my chances. Has anyone been in my situation and did they call you back? If so how long after did they call you?
I really do hope I haven't ruined my chances as this is my dream job

Er...what's wrong with you taking their number and then calling them back? If you want the job it's customary to put in some sort of effort. 
Employers don't generally chase after candidates, they expect you to do that.

Working at VB
Hi Everyone,
I just have a question if anyone can help me out does DJ hire it's own Ground Crew at BNE Guest Services (Check-in) specifically? I have been reading up and seen that there is companies like Aerocare and things that provide ground services? Does BNE have it's own VB staff for Ground crew
Also I have noted from looking at the Cabin Crew ads, just to see what the job descriptions are like, that there is a 12 month exclusion period once you have been told your application is not being taken further... Does that apply when you are going for ground crew?
Thanks in advance
