Virgin Blue Recruitment Drive
Hey! i attended the Cabin Crew recruitment day in Sydney the other day and I havent heard anything yet, they said that they will contact us within 2 weeks via email but i was wondering how long on average it takes for them to get back to you??? this is driving me crazzzzyyyyyyyyy!!!!! please help!

Maybe you want to read the VB recruitment thread before you ask the same question 50 other people before you have. Or maybe it's 2 weeks, as you've already been told. :ugh:

Hey everyone.
I was at the same VD as VBhopeful. I received an email earlier this week updating me on my application. It is fair to say VB are very busy right now and obviously people will progress through different stages at different speeds. My advice is not to try and compare/read too much into things and from experience VB have always kept true to updating people within the time frames they set....so wait out your two weeks and try not to stress. As for those waiting to hear at all about their application.....I agree with other comments no news is good news, just be patient. Good luck to all. |
VBhopeful,
After they checked my references they called me a few days later then i had my Medical and i didnt hear anything for 2 and a half nearly 3 weeks grrr! So dont worry, most annoying thing ever though :ugh: Good luck keep us all posted :) Trollytom- you probs wont get an email at all just a phone call so be ready! Good luck everyone :ok: Bluefish_au - The waiting game, its torture!!! :} Keep in touch i would love to know how you go ;) |
Surferboy. I didn't get any email to update me on my application :(
I know they've called my references. So pain stakingly awaiting a call or email. These two weeks are going so slow. Can't beleive it's just been a week Trying to be patient! Lol good luck all! |
I'm wondering if it's possible to commute from SEQ?
I'm thinking about applying for SYD and commuting from Brisbane? Does anyone else do this? How does it work? |
It would very difficult to commute to Syd from Qld. Sydney recruits are being told to expect daytripping rosters. You will need to be in Syd for 5am sign on 11pm signoffs and standby days. So you would only be able to return home on your days off. Commuting does not count as duty travel so you have to pay the fare yourself. Not to mention the risk of the flights from that port being full, which is high.
|
I have a friend in the Sydney base who commutes to QLD. However, she is renting a room in a share house and only goes home every two weeks or so.
So if you want to commute, I think you really need to have a place down here in Sydney, be prepared to only go home on your days off and wait for your transfer to come through. If you want a foot in the door, that may be the way to go. |
Don't know if anyone has noticed, but as of this morning they've added Melbourne to the recruitment site:
Virgin Blue Cabin Crew Melbourne - Mar 10 Closes 14th March. |
Hi there does anyone know the procedure if you are unsuccessful in your application to join VB ? Do you get an automated email to let you know that this is the case or do you just not hear back at all?
Also is it standard procedure to wait for the application deadline to close before you hear anything ? Any advice appreciated Thanks and have a great evening |
I got accepted!
Had RD on 23rd Feb, received an email a week later saying i had been progressed and referees would be called shortly. Referees were called on Monday, received phone call on Wednesday asking to go have a medical. Had medical this morning and received THE call this afternoon. Anyone else start on the 6th April? Best of luck to everyone else. |
I got in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi everyone,
I got the job! I am so excited! :D This blog is such a great forum for anyone hoping to get their dream job. All your advice has helped me such a great deal, and I am more than happy to help any of you if you have any questions. Is there any of you out there starting training on the 6th of April in Sydney? If so, I will see you there! Once again, thank you all for your advice and support, and for those still waiting, sit tight....your time will come. xxoo |
Application timeline
Hi all,
applied on line last tuesday (9/03/2010) How long before I hear from them? I know there is a big recruitment drive on, but just trying to juggle work etc and it would help enormously to have some idea of a timeline. thanks!! |
Sydneysurferboy - I had my RD in Sydney the same week as you! It was a lot of fun actually and all the candidates were lovely.
I was ecstatic when I got an email a few days later saying I had been successful in progressing further and that they would soon contact my referees. However it’s been over a fortnight and they are still yet to contact them! I am so keen to hear from them… the wait is so hard! |
NavLites - it took about a month for VB to contact me for a phone interview after I applied online. Good luck!
|
Hey Navlites..I agree with Flyaway, I can take some time, mine took about 3 weeks, but from what Ive heard and red 3-4 weeks is normal. Hang in there and stay positive.
Flyaway, it took over a week before i got an email saying they would call my references and then another week to call my references. It seems to vary, like you found out a few days after, that they were going to call your references. Maybe they are all full for this GS on the 6th and there is no point in calling your references now, when the next ground school might be sometime later. Stay positive, no news is good news, but agree the waiting is hard, very hard. |
training
just wondering if the virgin blue and pacifc blue training schools are the same?
|
I Got Invited To The Medical!
The wait was worth it! I have been asked to attend a medical this week!
Good luck to everyone else waiting for the call, it is a hard wait. To anyone who has started ground school - how are you finding it? And on a lighter note, how soon do you get issued with the uniform? |
hey cc wannabes
is anyone else on here starting BNE GS on the 12th april? send me a pm or post on here hey flyaway31 when I went for my uniform fitting the lady said you'll get the uniforms delivered to your GS during the second week :) |
