Hi Kate!
Well Done! It's pretty much a group interview. You will be interviewed with maybe around 30-35 others, put into groups and assessed on group activities and most probably get asked a random question where you'll have to go up to the front of the room and give answers. The panel are all so lovely though and they take notes of EVERYTHING so be aware of not just how you answer the questions, but how you present yourself at all times and how you interact with the other members in your group. But in saying that just try to act how you normally would, it's hard because you're nervous but they can see through a 'fake personality' so just act accordingly to YOUR personality even if you clash with someone else. It goes for 2-3 hours and if you get through you will get the 2nd interview later that day or the next. Good luck!!!

Hi Kate
Congrats on getting to the Assessment day! Its pretty much outlined above by Coco25 but I'll give you my experience anyway!
You arrive and your documents get checked by a Jetconnect Staff member - make sure you have EVERYTHING, or proof that you have enrolled in say your FirstAid or RSA. One girl walked in and had forgotten her passport - not a good look. Remember first impressions!
From there you sit at a numbered table that you are given & begin your first group activity - this could be anything but is usually based around problem solving & team work. I think its good to make sure you throw some ideas on the table, but not to be overbearing/bossy. A Jetconnect staff member will sit at the table & observe. Each table then has to 'deliver' their outcome to the other candidates. This can be a bit nervewracking - but I went out of my comfort zone & spoke infront of everybody...hey at the end of the day I might be standing infront of 250+ passengers!
This is normally it, and you should get a yes/no phone call later that day, or perhaps the day after. From there the 2nd stage is a panel interview.
I found out last week that I start my training for Long Haul in a couple of weeks - have to say I've never been so happy in my life haha. Coco25 is right - try & be as natural as possible, even myself as a fellow candidate I could tell who was being genuine & who wasn't. Let your natural personality shine through - smile, and actively go out of your way to try and talk to a few of the other girls/guys. Lot'sa luck!

Does anyone know what the pay difference is between Jetconnect Long Haul and Jetconnect Short Haul?
I see that they're recruiting for Short Haul at the moment, but I'm wondering if I should hold out and wait for Long Haul?
I don't mind not having many layovers, but if there's a huge difference in pay then maybe I'll hold out for LH
Any comments appreciated!

Hi Kate, I'm basically doing the same as you. Research and thinking about possible questions and how to respond! It's nerve wracking and exciting to think that it's all happening tomorrow!

Hogan Test
Hi Tracy,
When I logged onto the Hogan website on Sunday it all worked fine for me. Have you managed to get onto it since then?? All I could suggest would be to refresh the page and try again!! Have you contacted Jetconnect about this??

I went to the assessment day on the 21st August, panel interview the next day and candidate event the day after that. My referees were contacted 10 days ago and now biting my fingernails waiting to hear. Has anybody who was there that weekend heard anything? Very Exciting!

Hi there,
I went through the 3 day August recruitment process also...exhausting..hee. It's very nerve-wrecking waiting to hear back. At the same time it's fun to speculate on all the reasons why it takes so long to hear back. I guess security checks take 10 days or so.
However, a good friend of mine applied in the July recruitment event. He had his referees called also, then waited three weeks only to receive an email advising that he was unsuccessful. We can't decide whether his referees let him down,whether he failed the Hogans or whether he didn't get security clearance. I guess it must have been security clearance that he didn't get otherwise why would they wait 3 weeks to advise him that he was unsuccessful?..hmm.it's a mystery. The frustrating part is that Jetconnect don't advise why you are unsuccessful which makes it a wee bit difficult to fix those things in case you wish to apply again.
I've been coming home each day and anxiously checking my emails...hee
Anyway, good luck to you and let us know as soon as you hear
