I had my interview on Friday and was invited allong to the Recruitment Day. I believe they are having 4 sessions, morning and afternoon, on 30 Sep & 01 Oct.

I was told that they are only looking at one ground school for MEL base starting on 8 Nov and goes for 5 weeks (as normal).

Hope this is good news for you.

Hi Jennylee,

I also applied for the guest service position closing August 16 th.
Had my phone interview last week and will have the group interview tomorrow.
I am very excited to meet them and hope everything works out.

What about you? Will you be there tomorrow?

[Jennylee]

Hi doud1307,

I withdrew my application for guest services to apply for cabin crew.

I am anxiously waiting for a response.

Do they email you before the phone interview to let you know or do they just call?

Regards

Hi Jennylee,

I received an email asking me to book for a phone interview.
Then, I had it and the human ressources assistant asked me if I would like to go for the group interview.
I never had group interview before, so I wonder how it's gonna be.

Well, we'll see.

[Jennylee]

Thanks Doud I am anxiously awiting an outcome from my cabon crew application.

I went to a group interview with jetsar a couple of months back if you go into the altara interview thread on this site it will give you some information on what that was like.

Group interviews are mainly group activities and sometimes a test or role play of some sort.

Just be yourself and make sure you participate in the group activities.

let me know how it goes!!!!

[Doud1307]

thanks gor your help and good luck with the cabin crew application.

I will let you know how it went, when I hear back from VB.

[flitegirl]

A big tip for both of you: make sure you proof read any written components of your applications (unlike your posts on here).

recruitment day

Hi Narlee and Missfinalcall,

Congratulations to both of you for getting through. I have a guest services recruitment day this week can you please tell me what it invloves exactly (or anyone else on this forum if you can help). What do they ask you to do and what questions are asked in the interview?

Thank you, really hope you can help.

[Doud1307]

Hi,

I went to a guest services recruitment today and it was OK.
It first started with a company presentation, then a small test.
After that we did group exercice.
Then half of the group took a comprehension test while the over half started the one on one interviews (about 20min)
The recruitment team was very friendly.
Nothing to worry about, but they have to make a choice and the have plenty of people to choose from.

Good luck to you and hope this help.

Hey Joannejo

Its a great day - full on and long but good.

First you go in and sign in and they ask you for your paper work and if you have any travel plans in the next 6 months.

Then you sit at a table with other candidates. There were 3 tables of about 5 in our group. They then talk about the job and the company and ask a couple of questions - anyone can answer them. After that we had to do a group activity which consisted of making a paper plane which materials that they give us. Then we had to present out plane to the groups. After that we did a test to match flight numbers from one side of the page to the other. After that we had a comprehension test which was easy and then had one on one interviews. That was it. Was there about 4 hours.

Good luck - just be yourself. There is no right or wrong answer

[Doud1307]

Hi,

Well the group exercice was the same as Mrs Final call.

For the 2 documents, I received them yesterday by email and if you don't have a printer, they will have some on the table that you can fill when you arrive.

For the clothes, almost everybody wore a suit with a white shirt and some girls had black dresses.

Be yourself and smile

recruitment day

Thank you for being so lovely and answering my questions Doud! Best of luck to you with it all. Please post on here and let me know how you went (good or bad)! I'm sure you'll make it through as you seem like a nice person. I wish I were you right now, with the interview done and dusted this morning. I don't like waiting around, it just makes you more nervous! Anyway, I'll keep you posted with how I go too.

[Jennylee]

kirisimasi,

I applied for sydney cabin crew.

guest services VRD

So I had my recruitment day this morning, hooray, I survived It actually wasn't too bad....sure everyone was nervous and it was an 'interview' but it was pretty relaxed really. I think the recruiters know what they want and you can't pretend to be anyone but yourself and hope they like you. I think I did well, but only time will tell!

Doud and Mrsfinalcall....have you two heard anything as yet?

Good luck everyone

[MrsFinal Call]

Hey Joannejo,

Thats great - as long as you walked out of there knowing you did your best whatever happens you know you gave it your all.
I got offered the position last week so all done now!
Good luck and keep us updated xo
