Altara Interviews

[Between the stars]

RD from 3rd of August

I start to worry, I can see that there are 2 persons who received an email for medical. Congratulations to you two !

None of my referees were contacted yet...
I can't figure out why some people didn't get their referees checked while some got the email for medical.

Are they many more persons like me who still haven't got their referees checked yet ?

Waiting 5 weeks

Between the Stars I am still waiting for a response.

None of my references have been spoken to. I don't understand why they have not gone back and tried again or, emailed to see when they are available.

I am concerned too as training schools will be filling up and like you I am still in the dark.

After this stage there is still a medical and security check before being offered the job.

We were told at the AD training schools have been scheduled for September and October. Is that what everyone else was told?

My fear is if the next stage takes as long as this one it might be too late.

[angelfire]

I got my email about medical and asic too.
and i guess its one more stage until its official

Anyone from Brisbane on this thread btw?

Altara Interview

Would anybody who has been successful on Altara interview, would say what kind of questions should we expected on their afternoon interview?
Any help would be appreciated.

[Jennylee]

In the afternoon interview I was asked the belwo questions:

Give an example where you have worked as part of a great team.

Which one of the Jetstar values appealed to me the most and why.

Why you want to be cabin crew?

what do you think the greatest challenge would be in this role?

what do you think you will like most about the role?

I cant remember all of the questions asked but above are most of them

I hope you have heard from them...
I contacted them and there is an issue with my visa. I didn't really understand why but they ask me to wait until they come back from the new recruitment days...
Let me know if you heard anything on your end

[Onboard PA]

Still Waiting

No still haven't got an outcome and my references are not the issue. There isn't enough staff in the office. Emails I sent where not forwarded on or communited to the right person either. If you are still waiting keep calling to get an update on your application and stay in contact with the office if you have been waiting longer than 3 weeks. Remember to keep a note of when you called and who you spoke to. They can't remember everyone!

[Sophia.mc.]

im thinking yes haha oh well...at least we only have to wait for information this time and not an answer!

[Jennylee]

Hi ilana182,

So you got a position for Jetstar casual how it is goijng Im waiting on my final acceptance after the medical and Im concerned about the flying hours do you know roughly how many hours altara casuals are getting?

regards,

jennylee

[ilana182]

I wouldn't be worried. I was at first too but it's good. My first roster was horrible though, I threw a tantrum and everything I only had 4 days. But this month I have 10 flying days and 11 on call, and I've been called in most days. Good luck!

[Jennylee]

Thanks ilana182.

How are you liking it?What destinations are you flyign to is it varied and what was training like?

I am still worried cause I will be leaving a full time job for this.

[cammyjs]

anyone else here go to the Sydney assessment centre today?

[ilana182]

Yeah I'm loving it. Meeting lots of great people and the work is easy. Don't get me wrong though, GS was INTENSE lots of emotion and stress. In SEQ we fly to Launceston, Cairns, Sydney, Avalon, Newcastle, Adelaide, Darwin, Mackay, Hamilton Island & Proserpine, with Perth flights starting in Dec. But it depends on your base as to where you fly. It's not as if you get off the plane though LOL, although I have done a few overnights in Darwin, Melbourne and Sydney due to short staffing at those bases, but I don't think the overnights will continue. Don't worry - I left a full time job too and the first few months have been hard due to GS and a crappy first month, but the pay is starting to stabilise a bit now.

[Sophia.mc.]

ilana182, did you put down that you were available everyday for both bases? do you know if this gives you a better chance of getting flying hours??

[Onboard PA]

Positions for next year

One of my references was called. They were told that the reference they were giving would most likely be for a position next year.

I guess my fear may have come true because, it has taken so long for references to be checked allocations for ground schools may have already been done for October as it is too late for Septmeber.

I think it may be time leave my details on file and move on. Good luck to everyone else who applied.

Onboard PA

Which airline are you waiting on? Jetstar?

[Onboard PA]

Dont be deterred by what they apparently said, massive recruitment and expansion going on. I guess you may have missed the boat for oct, then there are fulltimers going through in november, you may get in end of nov/early dec but they like ground schools to be finished by xmas. Even still, its great you got your references checked, hang in there its worth it

[Sophia.mc.]

how long haver you been waiting for?
i have my interview in august and i've been put through to a ground school in october but i hassled them alot about the recruitment, dont know if that made a difference, but still, keep your hopes up, dont let it worry you
