Hey misskellouise,
Virgin Blue has their own shoe range so it is best you purchase the shoes from the Uniform hangar once you are employed.
The alice band is a head band. In the grooming guidelines you will see there are a few ways you can do your hair and almost all of them involve the black ribbon.
The ground crew bags are like satchel bags. They are not the same as cabin crew bags at all.
Hope you enjoy your new job!
KAKS,
I have been given (and accepted) an employment offer and another girl I know and work with has also accepted an employment offer for Perth base. We were both from the first round of recruitment.
There is another round happening with VRD's at the end of this month. Will be interesting to see if they get everything done in time for the upcoming ground school that starts mid next month.
PerthHostie,
Just think about your previous experiences and being able to provide excellent customer service. Try and think of a time that really stands out.
Also think about team work and when you faced problems/issues and how you overcame these.
When responding you should be using the STAR method. Situation, Task, Action and Result.
Good luck next week!

Thanks so much bubblyguy
from what I have read I think I may be stressing about it a bit too much! It seems to be quite a friendly interview.. Just need to get over these nerves!
Congratulations on being offered a position! When was your RD? How long did they take to get back to you?
Are you from Perth?

My RD was back in mid May.
The RD is great fun. Very enjoyable. Just have a good time, relax and be yourself.
There are stages after the RD and they will run through time frames with you at the RD.
And yeah in Perth.
If anyone was to commute at Perth base they would be pretty crazy!

Hey Oz,
They ask if your currently employed?
-what does the roll of cabin crew mean to you?
-what do you think are the most important things about the cabin crew roll?
-what does customer service mean to you?
And if you have flown before, they ask you to tell them the day in the life of your job!
Hope that helps.

Sydney 7th RD Day
Hey, had my RD today and was in a very small group of only 11, they said that they will be in contact within the next 2 weeks but told me during the interview that they will be contacting my references, and that the next email will be the successful or unsuccesful whether to progress to medical and security checks.

Virgin Blue SYD Application
Hi there just wondering if someone is in the same situation as me: i applied for the most recent Virgin Blue SYD recruitment on June 12th & got the standard email saying they had recieved my app but i hve heard nothing else no rejection email or phone call. Just thought this was a bit strange as they are holding RD's in SYD at the moment? Does anyone have any insights?
Thanks in advance

hey ellie,
Not sure what the whole procedure is but i have read through the forums and have seen that they are keeping the assessment numbers to a minimum, the ones over in perth had around 12 people and mine yesterday only had 11, maybe they will be calling you soon for a phone interview. Fingers crossed
