EasyJet - Wannabes & Recruitment

[flyin_phil]

since feb when i started flying, i had 3 airport standby's and i think about 5 home standbys, so ive been flying quite alot

[ReallyAnnoyed]

As CC your flight/sector pay will make up roughly half of your salary, so if you do not fly a lot, you will make less money. Stand bys do not attract flight/sector pay, but airport stand bys do as you are required to be at the airport in uniform. You will most likely fly 4-500 sectors per year with a few variations spread out over the year.

Gatwick Recruitment

I applied for Gatwick base about a month ago, i was offered an assesment date but couldn't make it as i was away, they were nice and offered me another date, but i couldn't make that either due to my current roster, and since then i've not heard anything. Does anyone know if there any assessment dates going on during May? I've just e-mailed the recruitment team again to see if there is anything in May as i'm still really interested (and a little bit jobless now my BA contract has ended!!!)

Also does anybody have a phone number for EasyJet Recruitment as I can't find anything on the website? Thought it might help if I spoke to them rather than go back and forth with e-mails.

Assessment day on the 5th May 2009

Hi everybody,
I'd like to know if someone else has received an email with an invitation for an assessment day on the 5th May with EJ. I received an email where was told me that I was shortlisted and I'm still waiting for an email of confirmation with full details about the place of event. How long does it take? I still waiting and the 5th of May is not far. I hope they will reply to me on time coz I had to ask days off and also I need to plan my journey to Stansted.

Thanks in advance for any suggest and help I could get!

Hi Everybody, my name is Erika I come from Milan, Italy.
Nice to meet you Folks.

I'm going to attend the Cabin Crew Recruitment on 5th May in London Gatwick for EasyJet but I still have to book an accomodation to overnight in London ! I have to do it quickly..!

Anyone else is going to attend the same recuitment day?

[greenmoss]

Hey...I got an assessment day on the 5th May at Hilton Hotel in Gatwick.

Hi ErikaFly,
Come stai? Spero bene!
Abbiamo the assessment day nello stesso giorno (5th May 2009) e sto cercando qualcuno con il quale condividere una stanza nel più economico bed & breakfast che sono riuscito a trovare. Il B&B si trova a 10 mins da Hilton Hotel e con 5 sterline la proprietaria del B&B offre il servizio taxi (no proprio taxi, ma economico se siamo in due, 2.50 sterline a testa).

Puoi visitare il sito web del b&b. Ti posso spedire il link su messenger? Hai msn? il mio è: [email protected], puoi mandarmi una email e ti mando il link. Non voglio pubblicarlo qui perchè poi tutti prenotano e le camere se ne vanno.

La stanza verrà prenotata per il 4th May. La colazione è anche inclusa e di sicuro saremo riposati, rilassati, a colazione fatta e con il trasporto auto che ci aspetta (5 min dal b&b to get Hilton Hotel). E ci daremo dentro con l'assessment day. We can do it! The best!

Penso che io ho prenotato il treno da Norwich e mi costa 50 sterline andare e tornare. Ma tu, da Milano, cavoli, ne farai di strada per venire a questo assessment day. . Sono contentissimo di incontrare un altra italiana a bordo. lol. Ricorda che EasyJet ha disperatamente bisogno di italiani madrelingua, quindi diamoci dentro. :-)

Assessment day on 5th May 2009 at Hilton Hotel in Gatwick

Hi there,
I got an assessment day on the 5th May for EasyJet at the Hilton hotel in Gatwick, and I am wondering if someone else has got it on the same day.
I was thinking to book a room in one of the cheapest B&B I found on internet, and if we can join together, the price of the room would be slashed drastically. More we are and more cheaper will be by sharing.
The 5th May is near and...I havent booked yet coz in case there is someone else with a better idea or place where I/we could stay overnight on the 4th May.
So please, let me know asap. Otherwise I will have to book for my own!

Thanks for helping and supporting each other.

Disappointed about the assessment with EJ on the 5th May 2009:

I want to write this post to communicate my disappoint about the selection EJ made on this day.
It is hard for me to say how upset I was and how unfair the selection was for some of us.

When I arrived to the Hilton Hotel in Gatwick I found about 100 people in queue for the assessment with EJ and we were numerated in base at the inizial of our first name.
Once inside the biggest room we had the Math and English test. The Math test is very very easy but the English one has got some tricky part (usually the middle part of) that request more attention.
I did pass the math and english test very easly and then about 20 numbers were called and 20 people were eliminated, coz they didnt pass the test or they didnt complete the test (so it is important that you complete your test even if you don’t know the answer).

I was so happy to have passed it. After we were splitted up in different groups for the group exercises and asked to form groups of 4 or 5 people with a member of EJ senior cabin crew.
I was in a group with others three candidates and one senior cabin crew. To each of us was given a depliant with some sale products and they asked in two minutes to choose individually one that could be the best seller of the moment. Then everybody wrote down at least 5 key points about it and then we discussed with the senior cabin crew which of us had got the great product and why. The senior cabin crew was designated to take notes about how we interact with the others and on about our sales skills and listening level and attention to details. I did manage very well in this group exercise.
The second group exercise was on the tradition test of bunker: which of us you would save and why? To each of us were given a card where there was written your profile: a doctor or a scientist or a professor or an army officer. There is no right answer in this test. They just want to watch how you manage with the others and how you interact. Once again I thought to have done very well. Keep my smiling up and with a perfect attitute.

After the groups exercises we had the break, a 3 hour break. I went with others candidates to having something to eat and this was a great opportunity to interact and communicate more with everybody. I was so happy. This was the part I really loved about all the assessment day and I got a lot friends now from any part of Europe. I got three best friends during the break and we spoke about the group exercises and about the performance. We thought to have done brilliant and that was. No doubts. During my break I spoke with some of candidates and I found some of them unmotivated and with e negative attitude to the job with EJ. These people didn’t bother to pass the test, they just wanted to go home and forget about it. I was the first person to say to them: “No, come on... you will be fine! Be happy, be positive.. you need to be motivated if you want this job”.
This is ridiculus and I will explain why later.

We had to come back to the biggest room for 2.00pm for the second selection, elimination.
The numbers called = people eliminated.
About more than 70 per cent was eliminated at that time. I saw a lot of fantastic people with a clever mind, great personality, very nice people, with passion and very motivated leave the room to go home.... included me.
When they called my number I thought maybe this time the numbers called are the survives, but not. We were eliminated. The faces down and a big disappointed for some of us which were very good at the group exercises.
But the thing that makes me more upset and disappointed about the performance that EJ demonstrated (people that judged you), was: some of people with which I spoke before and that weren’t motivated and distressed passed through. This made me nervous, coz some of them didn’t say one word at the group exercises and they just wanted to go home, finish soon and also some of them which were screaming, shouting, taking over the others, making people in an imbarassment position passed through. I don’t understand why a so serious and friendly air company did this. I think the seniors cabin crew in change or the sales cabin crew or whatever they are called didn’t demonstrated to be enought professional to be honest and for that reason I write this post because some candidates that passed the assessment day should be at my place...at home, because they don’t deserve it. How is it possible that people unmotivated and with a bed attitute to be honest passed through?

Anyway.. I’m still a bit shocked since yesterday and I’m sorry for all of us...for all these nice people who left Gatwick to come back home and I want to say to them to not give up and to try with different air-companies and also may to come back in six months for EJ again, why not. Maybe people change and maybe better examiners will take place.

I’m not a perfect candidate... I was just myself in all the points with a buggage of my sale experiences past, and I did much better that some of others candidates whom really don’t deserve it.

I hope to having spoken in all of candidates name, who were surprised about that elimination.

Thanks for reading
