Hi Mrs Finalcall,

Thank you for that really appreciate it...........If all goes well will hopefully see you in training..........:D:D

Jennylee.. be prepared to wait... I applied in feb and didnt recieve a call till 2/3 months later. I am only now preparing to go into training. Just depends on how urgent they need the staff...

All the best!!!:)

Thanks CAS90. At least it gives me an idea of what to expect.

I hope I don't have to wait that long.

In my application it asked if I had any commitments in the next three months, so i am hoping that is an indication of how soon they want to recruit.

What base are yuo going to be working at?

If i make it through the training i will be based in Sydney...

you based in sydne aswell?
have you worked for any other airlines previously?

Hey Guys,

Did anyone else have a phone interview for MEL base today? If so how did you go?

I was so nervous! Hopefully the interviewer saw through that and I hear back from them soon.

Hey CAS90

Yep, medical done and passed... phew! I had my uniform fitting this morning... VERY EXCITING!:ok:

Oh wow im so excited! I still havent been told about my medical yet... still waiting on a call.

Do they tell you if you pass the medical straight away? and where do you get the medical done at?

Thanks!!

The medical was in Botany road. They dont tell you if you pass or fail. However, they did mention that I had initially failed the drug test... I had some neurofen plus the day prior as I had a headache. So they had to send my 'sample' off for analysing. Because of this, the medical cost $302... but, end result is worth it! :ok:

May I advise that you keep your real identities private, this forum is based on being anonymous which is 99% of the case. I understand the excitement of getting into the school is overwhelming, nerve racking and you need to protect yourself and your position.

good luck and I wish you well, its a great job!

Hey Wannabe,

Great news on the phone interview. What sort of questions did they ask? Did they say anything about recruitment days? I have applied for MEL base too.

Time to Fly

Hey Time to Fly!

They asked me:
What do I like about my current job?
What does my current job entail?
Why did I leave my last Job?
What do I think is the most important part of the Cabin Crew position?
What do I know about the airline?
And most importantly, Why do I want to work for vb?

They didn't tell me much, they said that they are currently shortlisting people and I should find out within the next 5 days weather or not I have progressed to the next stage.

When did you apply for the MEL position? Fingers crossed you get a call from them soon.

Great Wannabehostie. Thats good to know. I thought they would be along those lines. I think i applied on 29 August. You will have to let me know if you here anything else.

Have you been cc before?

Doe Virgin contact you via phone or email mostly and do they call on a private number?

Hi Jennylee,

I just got an email today to organise my phone interview. That is all i can tell you because it has been a while since i have been through an airline (and especially a Virgin Group) interview process. I will let you know as it unfolds.

Hey time to fly,

Was that for Syndey or Melbourne base?

Regards

Jennylee

Hi Jennylee,

Time to fly applied for MEL base and so have I. I applied back in March and only got notified 2 weeks ago via email about my phone interview and I had it on Tuesday. In answer to your question yes they did call on a blocked number. Apart from your interviews most correspondence is done via email.

T.T.F, no I haven't been CC before. I'm a newbie :O Have you flown before?
When did you book in for you phone interview? I havent heard anything back from them yet.

Jenny Lee,

Hey Narlee,
