Welllllllllll I'm off to Sydney tomorrow... I have my VRD on Wednesday so I'm very excited... also starting to get rather nervous, but am sure I'll be fine. Just going to have fun and be myself! If anyone else happens to be going to a RD in the next cpl days good luck, maybe I'll see you there!!! :p

Hope it goes well Breeza. I'm sure you will be fab :ok:

Breeza where are you?
 

I'm sure everyone here is waiting to hear how you went.
Give us the full story please!!

virgin
 

hey everyone, just wanted to see how everyone is going with their applications, has anyone heard from virgin lately? or does has anyone found out if the sydney ground school has a date yet for sep or oct?, hope everyone is well!!!!

Hey Flyhigh12
 

I was told I would hear by the second week in August as to confirmed dates for ground school (in Sydney). I was also told to expect to start G.S. some time in September. Sooooo only two more weeks..... hopefully.... and I'll know exactly

My Vrd
 

Hi EVERYONE!!!!

Woo! So I'm back from Sydney!! Sorry guys only got back late last night....

The VRD was great... There were only 15 people there, and here I was expecting 70! We did our group activities and then had a break while they worked out who would be staying...

I was so nervous when we came back, the recruiters were all standing there with our letters and the butterflys went crazy (I was the most nervous then than i was all day!!) We were given our letters, I read the first paragraph and thought bummer, no luck, then read on very excitedly. woo hoo! Made it through to the next round. 5 Girls were unsucessful, I was really excited, but felt really bad for them http://www.cabincrew.com/ccnetwork/smileys/smiley19.gif

The next round was a role play then an interview. I think i did ok... the recruiters certainly do not give much away. But they were all really lovely. I was excited to have made it to the VRD but after the actual day and everything they spoke to us about and showed us I am SUPER SUPER excited now! So just to wait for THAT email...

ALL the people that were there as applicants were awesome as well and I could imagine them all in CC roles so I think I've got some pretty solid competiton, though if I don't make it at least I wont feel as bad knowing how awesome everyone there was and how much we all deserve it! http://www.cabincrew.com/ccnetwork/smileys/smiley2.gif

They were unable to give us GS dates though the GS will be in Sydney. Pay is the same as current EBA (the one up till 2005) but is subject to change following the introduction of the new EBA (due sometime next year hopefully)

Anyone looking for the EBA shld go to www.wagenet.gov.au you will find it there...

Anyhoo... so the wait begins!!

Breeza :cool:

recruitment?
 

hey can anyoen help me??? i had my interview in april and got to the final round and even went n done my medical in end of june beginning of july dont memba wen and no one has called me its been a month already????? whats going on at virgin???? not even an email like they use to update u every 2 weeks???? i guess im staying at rex longer!!

Just a reminder to everyone waiting on a call from DJ, they have cancelled all cabin crew groundschools until October. CC cource 118 is running at the moment and I believe that is the last one until October.

Application Progression
 

Hey All!

Welllll, I got an email today from VB. My application has progressed following my recruitment day last week, exciting stuff! :ok:

Breeza...

Massive Congrats Breeza :D, the hard parts over... now you just have to make sure your referee's are strong and you stay nice n healthy for the medical. It'll take some time but I'm glad you've made it through..(you seem like a hell of a character!:))

Well Done
 

Very Well Done Breeza, you had it altogther right from the start, What did you do at the interview to impress them? I'm going to try for a major career change, I'm a bit of an "oldie" but I think is worth a shot. Very happy for you and have enjoyed your posts, even thought about you on the VRD and wondered how you were going, "how strange is that"
Best of luck for whats to come. Regards Steffie

Maybe we'll both be Virgin's together soon! hahahaha!!! :}

Woo-Hoo!
 

Hi everyone.

Was at the VRD the day after Breeza and just got my progression email today!

Many more hurdles and hoops to navigate yet, but i cannot tell you how excited i am right now.

To all that have just received training school dates, well done and good luck! I'm sure it'll be worth the wait.

And may we one day end up on either end of a cart together.

Have a great week!
