Hi kirisimasi,

I went to an assessment on Tuesday this week.

Firstly they seat you at tables of 8, and you have a one to one interview while you are waiting you chat amongst yourself and you fill in an application form and get your documents checked and your height measured.

After this has finished they have a short presentation on Jetstar pay atention cause you some of the presentation infor will be asked in the general knowledge test later.


After this you do 3 group activities. In the group activities make sure you actively participate as they are checking for communication and teamwork skills.

After the group activities you do a general knowledge test it is mainly multiple choice maths questions and some multiple choice qustions based on the earlier presentaion. Then you need to plot some jetstar destinations on an australian map.

after this they send you out to lunch and if you are successful they will call your mobile and you go back in the afternoon for another one to one interview with someone else.

It was such a relaxing fun day.... just be yourself!!!

i go through the whole day adn they are checking my references

Hope this helps

GoOD Luck!!!!!

Hi, I had the assessment in SYD on 20th of July..
by then, I haven;t heard anything yet.
It is a bit early but has anyone got an email or checked references etc??

Btw, does altara cut more candidate off on second interview???

Many thanks if somebody answers for it...

[brendy_au]

Hey mate,

Dont worry too much, They take forever to get back to you.. Just ask your references if they have been contacted.. And generally they contact only one reference after a couple of weeks.

[courters]

starting training in melbourne with brendy next week, we have our uniform fitting sunday afternoon.

just wondering what would be suitable attire for this day?
something fairly casual for a sunday afternoon considering it will be business attire for the rest of training...?

would appreciate tips from anyone who has done the training/uniform fitting before

[ilana182]

couters we were told to wear smart casual for our flight down on Sunday afternoon. No ripped jeans! I wore nice jeans, a nice oversized tee and a jacket, with boots. NO open toed shoes ... shoulders must be covered.

Hi there

Firstly, wow! I would never have thought you could get such great information about Altara interviews. A big thanks to those who have posted before: awesome job.

I have been invited to Altara's RD next Wednesday (Aug 4) in Brisbane.

My questions are pretty simple really:

1. I am 31, going on 32. Honestly, is age a factor in the recruitment process?

2. Should I wear a suit on the day?

3. Is weight a factor? I'm a pretty big guy, a little overweight, but nothing I can't get rid of quickly . Honestly, does weight matter?

Any HONEST help would be much appreciated.

Thanks again

Mike

Hey Hamonrye

I started with Altara/Jetstar and can tell you age is NOT an issue. There were a few ladies in our GS over 30 and one guy who was probably 40ish.

I'm not sure about weight. As far as my GS, everyone was pertty healthy, I'm a size 14 which is not too tiny for a girl, but when we tried on our uniforms they had much bigger sizes than that. Good luck!

[courters]

age is not a factor, im 30

thanks ilana, very helpful, got an outfit in mind now!!

Hi Hamonry/Mike,

I'm attending Altara/Jetstar RD on the 05th AUG, the day after you.

I'm glad you asked the question about age. I thought it may be a big factor. I was only thinking about my application this morning and thought oh well, its been a couple of weeks and still no word. But then 1/2hour later my computer beeped and there was an invitation to attend RD in Brisbane next week on 05th AUG.

So good luck next week Mike , sorry I won't be on the same day as you.

Is anybody here attending the 05th AUG10 Assessment Day in Brisbane?

Also do you think its best to wear your hair up?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Again and Good Luck to everyone!

Tiger people

Has anyone been successful for the Tullamarine Tiger crew? I want to know who Ill be training with and working with.

What to wear to rd...

Hello everybody,

For a RD, it is best to wear a black suit with plain white shirt. For boys and for girls. If you don't have a jacket that is fine as long as you have the shirt and black pants or skirt.

No colored nail polish for girls and hair should be tied up if long and not much hair around the face.

Make up should be discret in earthy colors.

I hope That could help, I will attend the 3rd of august and I still haven't found anybody else who is going on the same day...

[Jennylee]

I heard back from the AD on the 20/7.

I am through to the next stage so medical and security clearance.

Anyone else get an email from the AD 20/7?

[Flyaway88]

Well Done Jennylee!

Did you receive the e-mail on the 06AUG about your AD on 20JUL??? I went on the 05thAUG. Gives me an idea of how long they take.

Good on you again
