Hi guys, Im new to theforum and have a couple of questions!

I recently applied for the position of cabin crew for Virgin Blue. Today I was just reviewing my applicaton while on the website and realised that my CV was not submitted on the form!I DEFFINITLY submitted it because I had huge trouble changing it to the .txt form and I remember seeing the little icon when It was loaded. I must have triple checked my application before submiting it so dont understand why Its not on there now!I could have cryed when I realised. I Spent so long doing my application and now scared my chances have been reduced. Is there any way I can get my CV back on my application?

Another quick question...I see V Australia is recruiting. Can I apply for them too even if ive applied for Virgin blue a couple of days ago?

Thank you so much

In reply to my last post. I realised why my CV wasnt loaded on my earlier submitted application. When I saw V Australia where recruiting today I started to fill in the application. THe application had automatically uploaded my CV from my earlier submitted details, and as there where a couple of things I wanted to change on my CV, I removed it without thinking it would affect my submitted application for Virgin Blue. I did not continue filling the application for V out as I read the information about not applying if you already had...I wasnt sure if they meant if you had already applied for a V Australia position or any Virgin positions so I decided not to submit incase, but I did upload my CV back on. Now it is showing back on my review application for Virgin Blue thank goodness. Will It still have made any difference though or wil my CV just be on my application same as it was without my little error! I just dont want anything hindering my chances!

Just realised my earlier post didnt come up for some reason! But I was saying that I was worried as I applied for Virgin Blue on Monday, but today suddenly realised when reviewing my submitted application my CV was no longer loaded. I realise now why this was(as above) so just wanted to check that this wont have affected anything and now my CV is back on the form it will be like that when my application is processed or if it already has.
My other question was in relation to the above, if I have applied for Virgin Blue..can I still apply for V Australia?

Thank you!

V australia is recruiting again. Virgin blue just closed there application for domestic cabin crew.

if you have applied for virgin blue you still ARE able to apply for V australia.
Apply for both..


Good luck all

Thank you flight04 for that!
I have decided against applying as altough I have 2 years of study of the travel and tourism indurty incuding an NCFE cabin crew course, I dont have much customer service experience so am likely to be knocked back and if my application goes nowhere with virgin blue then that will be two airlines I wont be able to apply to for another 12 months Will concentrate on getting more hospitality/customer service expereince and maybe apply to V aus when they recruit again

I applied for both but was stumped when I read that you now need, not only for V Australia and Virgin, not only a Senior First Aid certificate and RSA but now also a CPR certificate. This requirement as far as I am aware is new. Since when did you need that too? Especially as you learn CPR in your senior first aid course. When I booked and did my senior first aid course recently I noticed that there was not a course you could do specifically that was just CPR, or a qualification you could gain that was just CPR.

Does anyone know anything about this?

[Boomerang_Butt]

CPR is included in Snr First aid but it expires before the 3years, can't remember when but I ttink they just want to make sure you've done the cpr component within (I think) the last 12 months. Ring Red Cross or St John's if you want to check to be sure

[Rmondo]

CPR

Yep, CPR although it is for 12 months only, most of the airlines require it to be no more than 6 months before it expires - meaning you need to update every 6 months.
Also you can give Royal Life a call who also run CPR courses - updates run for about 3 hours.

Hey

Anyone applying for the current V Australia SYD Recruitment? Does anyone know what specific things you have to to do on the recruitment day, how many people attended the last one etc? Any info would be much appreciated! Thanks

[ANstar]

You can apply for both, but can only attend 1 interview. Ie once they call you then you need to choose as you can only be in 1 recruitment process at a time.

Grazie!

[glitzy-luc]

Have you been invited to the RD?

[ruukun]

I can't find any links on the V Australia Careers website for hiring cabin crew at the moment, am I missing something?

[glitzy-luc]

I think applications closed a few days ago...

[ruukun]

that would be why then!

[Brindabella24]

OMG! I got a call from V Australia on Wednesday and had a phone interview! It was so unexpected! I registered my interest with so many airlines so long ago and was really expecting to wait years and years, but then I get a call from V Australia!

The phone interview was very on the spot with some tough questions, but I don't think I did terribly. They told me to keep checking my email and I'd probably hear by the end of the week if I got through to the next stage. Allllll of Friday I was checking my email constantly, but didn't hear anything I'm hoping I will on Monday. Even if it is just a rejection - I just want to know either way. She didn't say 'you WILL find out on Friday', so maybe I will hear on Monday or Tuesday whether I made it through. They would send you an email right, even if it was just a 'thanks but no thanks' email? They'd be courteous enough to let you know right?

I thought it pretty positive that they called me at all so I was pretty stoked. They must've liked my application at least a little bit! I am hoping against hope that I get through to the next stage! I would die for this job!

Anyone else get calls lately?

[hb78]

Hi Brindabella24.

I had a phone interview last week too, but for Virgin Blue (I imagine being the same company the process will be similar). Seemed to be the same format as you described. The lady on the phone told me that I was invited to the Assesment day during the phone call and emailed the details through straight away.

Fingers crossed for you. Good luck!

[cody24]

Hey Brindabella

Did you apply for V Australia SYD base the other week? I did, but haven't heard anything. Only closed on Wednesday tho I guess...
