Hey beautiful people
Hope you guys are enjoying Gs Manymiles and Kate.
I called VA the other day and was told there would be 3 ground schools running in Melbourne in January. I'm not sure if this was just specific to the October GS this year or if it always is, but to my understanding Adelaide members also come and get put up in a nice hotel (jealous).
They said they'd email very soon about the specific dates. I'm off to the States until the 4th so praying mine isn't until at least the 5th haha.
Look forward to discussing specific GS dates when we get more info.

Skyangel I'm in the same boat as you for Brisbane. I would love there to be a GS before Christmas but apparently the next one isn't until February. They had a GS in Brisbane start on 7th November but that was from the August recruitment round and my AD wasn't until 12th October. Which AD did you attend?

I'm Adelaide base but still waiting to hear on an AD date. Hopefully hear soon...is anyone else an Adelaide Base? Hope all who are on active hold hear something soon about Ground Schools. If they are doing three in Melbourne, they may be doing a few state combined ones hopefully.

Assesment Day - Update
Just thought I would update those who have been successful in making it through to an AD, but are just waiting to hear of one scheduled in their base – I’m Adelaide Base and the next Adelaide one is possible end of Jan/early February. I called Head Office to just get a rough time frame – hope this helps a few people.

Hi
I have done the elevator pitch for Auckland base in October and received confirmation of progression to a recruitment day. I see applications close 24th. Does anyone have any idea of how long it takes to get to interview stage? Also Whether if successful I would be in the Janyary ground school or maybe have to wait for a later one?
Also could anyone please share what happens on the assessme Day and what I'd need to study for the online assessment? Sorry so many questions it's all new to me ��

AD days start with a presentation about Virgin, then go to group activities, then one on ones. A couple of days later you get an email saying if you go onto online testing or not then you have 72hours to complete it, after you have completed it (it's a psychometric test so you can't study for it) they let you know if you are onto references or not. My ref checks took 6 weeks but I know of others that have taken 4. Then you get a medical and final review then an offer. If there are no gs scheduled you get put in a talent pool till one is avail. If you go back through this forum there is a wealth of info on all different experiences.

On AD you will go in and they will give you a brief quiz on VA. From there they do background info on the company as well as an insight to pay etc...
You will then introduce yourself to the group and recruiters and from there do the Group Assessment. Our question was "You have had an emergency landing and are unaware of your surroundings or of any injuries, list only 5 items that you would take and why?"
From there you have a break and from there you do one-on-one interviews.
I wish you the best of luck.
