Virgin Australia - Wannabes & Recruitment

[DJCCGuy]

Will be interesting to see if they get the 102 crew internally that they want...that's a lot of crew...not sure if they'll get get that number

[jetcrewnw]

funny that i was interviewed and the check my references with my current job put me in jeoparady and then no thanks we may take internals
I was on hold since August last yearwhy do the reference checks and all good then get an email and phone call saying no due to current internal intake idea instead i was on holidays when they call me overseas to tell me no thanksno more for me I will give up here I obviously am out of luck and time

Remondo,

As much as I want to fly - I am only going to fly with a company that i respect.

QF I would not travel on as a passenger, so it stands to reason I would not work for them.

Good luck

Hi Len,
would almost agree with you there.

I am holding out for V on their next external recruitment though, hopefully by mid year. may see you there..?

[ANstar]

V Australia are doing another intake - however only for people that know a current Virgin Blue staffer that can refer them.... (see the recruitment website for details)

Blue Star Referrals

Anybody else apply within the Blue Star Referrals recruitment program ? ....I doubt I was the only one.

I guess it may be a few weeks before hearing anything, though can't help but wonder what sort of numbers they may be looking to recruit.

Fingers crossed..!!

RE: Blue Star Referrals

Hi Rmondo. I have also been lucky to to get an invitation to attend the VRD in Sydney on the 20th May as well. As for what numbers they are looking for I am not sure on that but I guess it will be a few for when things settle down and they start operating to other destinations apart from LAX.

Blue Star

hey Miss Sam,

I'm just south of MEL (down on the Surf coast) and chose MEL as a interview preference - hope that doesn't put me behind the 8-ball..!

Maybe with V flying out of MEL from Aug, they may be looking at a MEL base in the near future..but if I have to go to SYD, thats fine too.
Let us know how you go at the VRD.

LOL

Hi Rmondo,

I only recently applied through the Blue Star referral program. Have they contacted you yet or do you have any information about it all.. I'm worried I got in too late!

[Rmondo]

hi bettyblue

as long as your application was received by the closing date which from memory was 10th May, you should be in with a chance.
my 'history' with V goes back to late last year when I attended a V Recruitment Day in SYD. Made it through all the stages up to medical - then we were all hit by the 'economic recruitment freeze'

I received a email two weeks back to say my application will be put on 'hold' till Dec 1st. if something comes up within that time window - expect a call, otherwise after Dec 1st I will need to reapply all over again.

hope that gives you some idea - I don't think even they can tell whats around the corner, but all fingers are crossed

[bettyblue]

Thanks Rmondo

I was too late then, which is annoying because ever since I have heard about it all I have become SO excited at the thought!

I would love to know if my application would still be considered if something does come up or if I would have to re-apply again.. might have to contact them I guess. Does anyone have an email address for the recruitment department?

[Rmondo]

bettyblue, don't give up yet.

You may have been late for the Blue Star Referrals program, but I am guessing they would still be looking at your application.

For a email contact, try: [email protected]

LOL

[bettyblue]

haha thanks for the email.. tricky one huh!

[bella78]

Hi Guys

Its been a bit quiet on this thread recently and I was just wanting to see if anyone knows if V Australia are going to be recruiting anytime soon.

Thanks

[Rmondo]

one can only hope bella.
I've been told I'm on 'hold' till Dec 1st this year after which time I would need to reapply.
fingers crossed that something happens before then!!

new destos

Announced Monday - MEL LAX flights to start in NOV - along with MEL PHT (phuket), BNE PHT and MEL JNB (Johannesburg) from March.

excitement!!!!!

[Rmondo]

Sounds good.

Lets hope more flt's mean more crew!!!

[Rmondo]

Recruiting soon...??

Hi all,
Have just received email inviting me to reapply to VB SYD Base, but I am still on 'hold' with my application with V.
Would certainly much prefer to hang in there with V than drop everything (my next step would be the medical) though an email I received last week from V Recruitment said they had no idea when they would start up again - but now with VB recruiting...

ANYBODY HEARD ANYTHING..??
