Thanks ChA380!
 

Thanks for the update CharlieA380! I assume you are part of current CC in the UK? Any idea with regard to renewing or extending contracts once there? I have read back through the post on here and it would seem most people are very happy with the UK base...

I think you will find recruitment for the London base for locals has in fact already opened. If you look at the careers website on qantas.com.au it is on the front page and in the Friday Flyer (an internal newsletter) dated 17/9/10 it states that recruitment is now open for internal and external applicants.

I have a "panel interview" in Brisbane on Thursday for Qantas UK. Is this the same as a group recruitment day? I'm very nervous as the move to London is a huge deal! My Mum was born in England so I'm all good to go.

Hours etc
 

:ok:I flew over on the A380 the other day via singapore.. Had a chat to a lovely english flighty in the back galley.. she said that the hours have been quite poor, just coming off over 15days on stand by / A days, and when she is flying its only SIN trips for 24 to 36 hours.. this is a very different story then we were told in recruitment, with them saying all three SIN BKK and HKG trips and longer stays, and from what they were saying, they were pretty desperate for staff over here (UK) but with her being on A or S days 15 days straight.. confusing
Can anyone shed some light on this?? true slips and trip times??

Yes indeed, recruitment is open. Did you notice that preferential language skills are Chinese and Thai.... so the rumour that the A380's are going on the Hong Kongs and Bangkok's seems to be true?
We will be a A380 only base?:\

@Beatac
Most people are happy, however, for the last year or so we have been doing mostly Singapores and few Hong Kongs. so moral is a little low, but it seems we are getting our BKK back and if the A380's that are coming soon are going to operate the HKK and BKK's then were laughing.

Recruitment day and more
 

Good news on the new planes CharlieA380, new faces and base growing!

Just wondering if anyone out there is joining me this Sat for recruitment day in Syd? Also, any idea if this is a panel interview or a standard recruitment day?

London Recruitment
 

Update:
For any Europeans reading this thread. The London office is NOT recruiting from the UK. The only recruitment for London Cabin Crew is being done out of OZ. ie. Austrailains who can legally work/stay in UK and be based out of London.
(internal communications were a bit vague)

How about I am chinese can speak cantonese who lives in HK and have UK citizenship allow to apply the job? Thanks

Ozskipper thx!
 

After attending recruitment day here in Sydney, I can share or clear up some details that have been previously posted on here.

The position is permanent in the UK and not a contract; they therefore cannot transfer you here to Oz should you wish to come back and work as CC, you would need to apply; There is no relocation lump sum as far as I know, it was not mentioned in the info brochure; accomodation is not provided.

Still waiting on the confirmation email, agony!:bored:

hi A380
 

I applied this week and after reading and joining this forum realised i have wasted my time wish they were clear about it so EU memebers dont apply ;( thanks for post guess i wont get a reply from them ...:confused:

Too much info
 

Folks - just a minor suggestion - you might want to edit your posts so as not to completely reveal all of the interview techniques and exercises for the recruitment process.

There are a couple of reasons I say this - you are easily identifiable, we're not real keen on candidates sharing our recruitment processes, you weaken your chances as others come into the process better prepared than you and it's not appropriate for a process which is meant to be competitive.

Nothing wrong with commenting generally but I would leave the specifics out if it were me.

Just a thought from someone who knows the processes all too well!

Ozskipper...I'm worried now! :uhoh:

Absolutely nothing to worry about Beatec!!! :)

I'm sure those who have applied will hear soon'ish.....

Anyone else in the same place?
 

A huge Good Morning from Sunny Brisbane, Australia to all Cabin Crew Qantas Wannabes;

Question or rather some advice and reassurance required;

My Situation:-
Passed all the interview stages on the 30th August, 2010 (Brisbane)
Reference Checks Complete
Medical and Secuirty Clearance sent to Qantas about 2 weeks ago
Overseas Police Check in progress and sent to Qantas when completed

Havent heard anything more; -

Oz Skipper; - Whats my chances? Is this a good sign that i have progressed so far? Should you call and follow up if you havent heard anything..

Whats the next stage? Does anyone know when a Ground School starts in Sydney for LHR training? One started on the 25th September and then next is rumoured to be OCT/NOV? Can some confirm?

The waiting is the worst part. Anyone else in the same situation as me; would be great to hear from you.

Thanks in Advance

New here
 

Hello everybody!

I'm new here and have a question I believe you will be able to help me with. To make a long story short, I need the person whom is in charge of hiring/apprenticeship at Qantas airlines.

I want to send a message to the HR, but can't find anyone to address it to.

Thanks for the help and time!

Truk - there are no guarantees but being asked to complete medicals / security checks are all positive signs. However, this in itself doesn't mean you have the job in the bag - you're just progressing along the recruitment process.

Thanks very much. Yeah; im not counting my chickens yet; but the wait is killing me. Thanks for the reply; Ozskipper.

I'll let you know if i hear anymore!

Anyone heard of when a ground school may be starting. Im praying for Novemeber? Anyone else in the same situation for Qantas CC London ! :confused:

I had my candidate event / recruitment day on 23rd Sep and they said that if we'd made it through to the medical stage we'd have an email within two weeks. It's been two weeks and I haven't heard anything from my referees. Does anyone know how long it actually took for them to send an email?

Hi;

Took about 1 week for me to recieve the email after the candidate day that they were checking my references and then 1 week later i got the email to go for a medical and security clearance. I decided to wait 3 weeks for my medical 24.09 and Qantas have had it about 2 weeks. I also had to get an overseas police check..

Guess they are really busy at the moment. Did they tell you when a ground school would possibly start?

Truk

I spoke too soon, I just got this email:

This is a courtesy e-mail to advise that your application is currently progressing through our recruitment process for a Flight Attendant position with Qantas Cabin Crew (UK) Limited.

You referee's will be contacted shortly. After this process is completed we will contact you to advise of the next stages of our recruitment process.

Thank you for you interest in a career with the Qantas Group.
