How do they check language skills?
To the person who wrote: How do they check the Italian MXP base language skills and what is the main language other than English for EJ at MXP?
I've never worked for EJ, but have done a few interviews and have worked for 8 years for a middle eastern company. I can pretty much say this is true for most airlines. If anyone has anything different, please do correct me.
The answer is in Italy they speak ITALIAN and will get an Italian mother tongue speaker to assess your level of the language.
Less confused now?

Recuitment MXP 2009/2010 - Cabin crew - What are they honestly looking for?
Hi all.
I'm applying for a CC position in Milan Malpensa, living just 40 mins away, even though I'm a Brit and I speak fluent Italian.
I worked for Emirates for 8+ years based in Dubai, leaving a few years ago as Purser to come back to reality and away from the sand.
I've tried on numerous occassions to get into EZY, almost always getting to the personal interview part, where the last time I was told that they were looking for 'real people'. (I had to pinch myself to ensure I hadn't turned to stone after that comment)!
I studied hotel and catering management and have almost 20 years experience in customer services. I'm 36yrs old (is that too old for EZY?)
Anyway, anyone know what it is that EJ are looking for in their candidates then if it's not experienced flyers with customer care experience? Reading some of the comments here, it seems the less you actually care about the job the more chance you have to get in? Hmmmm, maybe that's why I can't get in? (Which seems absurd, good enough for Emirates, but not good enough for Easy?
)
Does anyone who's recently done an assessment day, remember those 5 or 6 essential 'qualities' they deem to find in each candidate? Or for those who fly for easy, could you tell me more about the MXP based contracts, is it true they are now only temporary? Which means, you do 4 weeks training at the start of the year and by October, you're let go....?
More info the better...thanks all.

EZY

For contracts in Italy it is mandatory you speak fluent Italian such as French for the FR-contracts and Spanish for the SP contracts.
the last time I was told that they were looking for 'real people'
They don't like attitude:
The answer is in Italy they speak ITALIAN and will get an Italian mother tongue speaker to assess your level of the language.

Contracts are idd temp. contracts to start with as it's crisis every where even for a lowcost airline (they say so! ;-)

faerie flyer
I believe they are looking for these things they mention during the assessment day. I can't remember them all but just use your common sense!
As you've been crew before you shouldn't find it to hard to write yourself a list with qualities they may be looking for. Keep these in the back of your mind when attending an assessment day but be natural, yourself, and keep smiling.
36 is certainly not too old for ezy. When I started we had a fellow new starter with us who was 52 at the time, and there is a lot of crew who started in their 40's and even 50's.
Experience will certainly help but won't be the thing that gets you the job. That's your personality (and the qualities) you display during the day. If you made it to the interview stage before you are doing good anyway. It might be more your interview skills that let you down? Practice competency based questions and be specific when answering them and remember the qualities they may be looking for.
If all this doesn't help....consider that maybe it's for the best, maybe ezy just isn't the company for you? Doesn't mean that you aren't good or that ezy is bad, just that the two of you don't match? But if you are convinced this is for you, keep trying! Determination is a quality as well (although I'm not sure if it's one they are directly looking for.)!
Good luck

Hi everybody.
I'm writing you to be sure I discovered a Easyjet bug in their recruitment web site.
Put you wanna apply for 3 bases over 10 showed.
You enter the site
Register
Choose the FIRST base let say Milan
Answer to all CV questions
Click on Submit
You get an email back after submission
Well.. then you Log Out!
You go back...
Choose another city let say PARIS
Log in again
Go directly on SUBMIT
And you wait for another email....
So you do for the third base let say Stansted!
Now... you are waiting for a total of 3 emails right?!
You've only got one!
If you got all the three emails well... you are lucky.
If anyone of you have got only ONE email... well...
you better write to [email protected] and tell them you are affected with the "web site bug"!
If that's happens mean.... you have applied only for the first clicked base (Milan in my example)!
So do not hope you are going to be called for Paris or Stansted. They haven't you in the next two bases list!!
Please give me some feedback if you have reported the same issue!
And PLEEEASE... write them reporting the BUG!!
Hope this will help someone to be shortlisted!
PS: I'm dealing with Easyjet Bond Talent webmaster!! The more you write the quicker they will solve the bug. I hope!
Cheers

Have got to assessment stage but Can you be easyJet Cabin Crew if you have children?
Hi all,
Please can someone help in a few enquiries?
I applied to easyjet cabin crew on saturday and yesterday found out i have been successful at getting to the assessment stage at Luton in 3 wks.
Im just wondering if any current or previous cabin crew can advise me what options i have as a single parent with a 4yr old at school. Im worried that my dream of being cabin crew is not possible or can it be done.
My child comes first and formost of course but would like some feedback or guidance to help me make a decision as to wether to go through with it or not, and if i can fulfill my dream and info on how easyjet feel about people like me!!
Also how are shift done, are they weekly or monthly?
....Any tips or hints regarding to asessment day would be fab!
Thank You

Maths tests are very very simple - based on calculating costs of purchases and converting £ into Euros/vice versa. You are given a price list, a calculator, a pen and some paper.
English tests are trickier as it's a case of picking the best answer available (but I sometimes felt none of them were correct). You are given a short paragraph then asked whether 4 or 5 statements are correct, false or whether there is insufficient knowledge in the paragraph to decide.
Sure there must be similar things you can buy or find on the internet. I must admit I didn't do any preparation at all for them and passed - but that English test does seem to catch people out so might be worth practicing.
