Qf Mam Domestic Melbourne
Hi All,
This is my very 1st post!
I went along to the MAM recruitment day held on 31st March in Melbourne.
Whilst being a very long day (8.30-4.30) I found it to be a very friendly and relaxed environment. I got through both stages and they've already contacted one of my referees (the 2nd proving to be a bit elusive). i've been reading others comments on being invited to an evening, does anyone know if this happens with MAM? I'm not sure of the process! They said they'd get back to us fairly quickly as they want to get a ground school running by end of April???
Anyway, it'd be good to hear from anyone else who went along to that day and anyone else who may be able to clarify the next step in the process!
All the best of luck to everyone

Melbourne Qantas Domestic
Hi,
I just got the call on Wed March 31st to start my training in Sydney on April 27th. I know a few other from my recruitment day start on April 12th and 18th.
They said they would get back to us within a week but for me it took 2 and half weeks.
Good luck, I know people from the melb recruitment day in March are still waiting to hear.

MAM vs QD
For those that attended the recruitment day on the 31st, were the recruiters from Qantas Domestic, or were they from MAM, or even outsourced?
Any info would be great. I had to decline an invitation 15 months ago, re-applied and still haven't heard a thing

Hi CabinDude,
I beleive the recruiters were flight attendants from MAM.
As I said previously, the day was a long one but they were lovely and made us feel very relaxed. Keeping my fingers crossed for now!!

I'm still waiting to hear back from the MEL base recruitment. Its driving me crazy! My emotions are all over the place. One moment I'm happy that i haven't received the 'no' email....the next I'm disappointed that i haven't heard anything. Frustrating!!! 
Any answer would be good just so that i know where i stand.

im getting so upset with qantas...i just dont understand how they work! i havent heard from them since the candidate event and that was 5 weeks ago and they have checked my references and everything! then 2 weeks ago they said my application was still "progressing through the different stages of recruitment" i know alot of other girls that are in the same position as well! even just a no email would be better than this waiting game or a courtesy email to say we are very busy and will get back to you with an answer soon! then i have heard that people from the recruitment day 2 weeks after ours have got offered jobs? does that mean they dont want us? im so sad 
5 weeks is a long time and i know there are some people that were waiting for a year and a bit and i feel for you! i just wish they would communicate with us its getting a bit silly!

Hi there,
You are not alone! I have also been playing the dreaded waiting game and keep coming up with stupid theories as to why they haven't called me as yet, considering they have completed my reference check.
Very strange.....who knows???
Everytime I get a call from a private number my heart skips a beat....but alas - its never them!!!
Good luck!

Hi all....
I hear you everyone, there is still a large chunk of us still on hold from a year ago as you know. As of now , quiet a few people have been offered jobs before even we were.....we had all been successful from the process ref check etc from 1 year ago also. I am absolutely baffled as to what's going on,. I must say it would be highly unusual to get a no email after this long?? Something is definately delaying the process, but what, we do not know. I don't want to sound harsh , but either or we will get a yes or no in the next few weeks. Does anybody know of a person who has received an unsucessful email yet???
Keep your head up everyone

Well, time is running out. All those that have been waiting for a year or more, did you guys get the recruitment update on 7th December giving information that all applications are valid until 1st June 2010. If recruitment proceeds before that time we don't go thru any more assessments but if nothing happens and 1st June 2010 comes, then that's it, its finished.
1st June is not too far away!

Confused!
Hi there,
I attended the interview day on the 19 March 2010 in Perth.
I got through to the second half of the day.
I still haven't heard if I'm through to the next phase again?
I rang two Friday's ago and I was told they were still processing applications.
I know people that have received either a yes or a no now, but I'm yet to receive either!
I was just wondering when you found out?
And how did they let you know?
I've tried ringing the scheduling centre again, both yesterday and today and it just rings out.
Thanks!!

Hi Guys, I understand you're frustrations since I've been on hold for over a year myself.
However, I think it's good to remember that there are only a handful of recruiters processing hundreds of applications. Each applicant requires their Security forms to be verified and processed, individual referees to be called, Medicals to be organised, and contracts issued for those successful. In between all that the recruiters have lives too.
Even sending a generic feelgood email to those of us still waiting might involve somebody having to sift through hundreds of email addresses, separating people into different categories so that the the right email is received.
So far they have organised two groundschools two weeks apart, which suggests a pattern. Approximately 32 people have now been given start dates, which means we all move up about 32 positions. Not everybody can be first, as much as we'd like to be amongst the first. At some point we will have our applications processed.
While it might seem unfair for those of us who have been waiting a long time, we simply don't know their selection criteria or what they've been told by management, and they are under no obligation to offer any of us a job for that matter. We're not always offered jobs based on the amount of hoops we've jumped through.
What I am suggesting is that we all keep one eye on pprune and one eye on our current jobs/lives/hobbies. This is a great time to develop patience - an important quality to have for the aviation business, and work on the skills required to be a successful flight attendant.
Saying that, I do wish everybody the best of luck with their applications!
