Re: CruisyCabinChick
I'm sure you're very objective when it comes to your friends but I have to say your opinion "she's incredible" means little in aviation recruitment. Or any kind of recruitment really. You have to remember that every carrier has it's own target for personality, temperament, experience and attitude. While your friend might be perfect for the 'opposition', maybe she just doesn't have what QF wants.
That doesn't necessarily mean that the recruiters there didn't give her a fair chance. No-one likes a rejection and it's very difficult not to take it personally. Kind of short sighted though to pull out your own application on the basis of your friend not being a good fit. You might be just what they are looking for. Have you tried applying for her airline? If they rejected you would you be equally disgusted?
People get jobs where they are meant to get jobs and a rejection from one airline means only that her job isn't with them.

Thank you Airborne Soon
Thank you,
Points noted. What you say makes sense - of course. Not just an airline, any potential employer.
I guess I just felt for her coz she was genuinely devastated.
By no means did she 'expect' it, but I would have thought she would have atleast made it through to the panel interview as she's ever so diplomatic, grooming is impeccable and has a winning attitude. Regardless of the airline, surely those points can't be overlooked.
Again, points noted though,

Well for what it's worth, those points haven't been overlooked. Her current employer obviously values them greatly. You know it's possible to be rejected for being too far above the target as well as being below it. Airlines hire the people they think will stay, maybe QF just saw someone who wouldn't be content with what they have to offer her.

Yes you're right. Sometimes it also comes down to 'culture fit'. Not a negative thing.
Note, I still fly with them and are a Frequent Flyer.
I guess it's how it rolls on the day in the end.
Happy Trails,

monday night???
Hi chef, tam1234, muizenberg and snuffles
Oh wow. I was there on the Thursday and I didn't even hear them mention anything about Monday night. How bad is that!? I must have been catching up on z's from the early start.
I definitely haven't heard anything from them.
Good luck guys!

no invite but i "continue to progress"
Hey I just received my email;
Thank you for participating in the Qantas Domestic Assessment Day and congratulations for making it through to the Panel Interview.
At this stage we will not be inviting you to the Candidate Event which is the next stage of the recruitment process. We will however continue to progress your application through the process and will be in contact with your in regards to the status of your application in the coming weeks.
Kind Regards
Cabin Crew Recruitment Team
Qantas Domestic Pty Ltd
I'm kind of confused about not being invited to the Candidate Event and yet my application will "continue to progress". Is it possible my application can "continue to progress" to actual success? Or just a delayed but inevitable (due to my not being invited to stage 3) rejection?
Oh, the waiting, the hoping, the dreaming-it never ends!

Hi viipii,
I too got the same e-mail. Does it mean they "skipped" you through the progress or on hold ? Very confusing e-mail and it can be interpret to many different meaning...
Oh well I guess from now on.. "NO NEWS IS A GOOD NEWS"..
Good luck everyone !

i received the same email and am equally confused. I feel this is just a delayed rejection letter, how can we continue progressing if we have been told we have not made it through to the next stage?

hey guys...
just received the same email...
however earlier this morning before i received it i did call them up just to ask...
the lady told me i wasnt getting invited but that they will still be reviewing my application and i should know sometime this week...
maybe we are like a standby... they obviously saw qualities in us but maybe didnt interview as well as the others... however if something falls through with some people who progressed... maybe then we are in with a chance...
dont forget... anyone can be kicked out at anytime... they are always watching... even in ground school... so.. there is always hope...
good luck all!

Hi cheekydingo
Sorry I didn't notice your post yesterday when I quickly checked through. Yes I thought at first the same as you, maybe we were "skipped" but then starting thinking that seems inconsistant with the wording that says it was the next stage of recruitment.
I agree with you - No news is good news! I think Tams1234 has hit the nail on the head. We weren't first pick but we still have a chance.

All of you who didnt get an invite on Mon night.... Maybe you impressed the recruiters enough when you went to the R.D and they dont need to see you again... I would have thought if they didnt want you they would simlply send you the no thanks email...
