Virgin applications
 

Hi Mareke,

I apologise for not answering your original question, but I am extremely interested in working for Virgin Atlantic and have been frequently checking the careers website for vacancies. The website currently says that there are no vacancies.

I notice you are filling out an application and you posted yesterday. I was just wondering if I was looking in the wrong place , and if you could point me in the correct direction.

Kind regards,

Andy

Any Virgin Atlantic crew??
 

Hi!

I currently work for Virgin Blue in Australia but my dream is to work for Virgin Atlantic based in the UK. I do not have an EU passport as the requirements say you need, wondering if anyone knows whether they hire on a working visa?

Any insight into working for Atlantic would be nice too!

Thanks!

I've had an invitation to an assessment day with VS on hold now since Jan 09, this week they've finally emailed to say the assessment days will be going ahead soon with training courses (should i get the job, that is) starting in the autumn. Has anyone else in their "assessment hold pool" had this email?

Hey I applied last year also and received an email saying to let them know if I am still interested within 3 days and that assessments are being held over the summer with Autumn start dates etc. It wasn't an invitation to assessment though. Is this the same or a different email?

What stage did you get to before? I wasnt offered an interview before as they stopped recruiting so not sure whether the email implies I will have an interview or not. Slightly confused :/ x

Hi there,

It appears I had the same email as you. I got as far as them arranging a date for the assessment day, then cancelling it a day later.

The email basically says (reading between the lines) if we reply and say we are still interested, we will get interviewed - before they recruit externally. Just waiting for a date now, I hope it comes soon!

ah thats brilliant thanks for replying. I was worried they might just reconsider my application for assessment wasn't sure if it meant I would get an email. Really hope this is the case and we hear something soon! x

There would be no point in them asking you if you still want to be considered unless they WANT to interview you. Doesn't make business sense as it just creates more work for them. They're not going to email people 18months later to say "sorry, but no thanks" are they? They're just checking that you still want to attend the assessment day before they start ringing everyone. Otherwise it wastes their time, if half the people who originally applied are no longer interested. :)

Hi everyone,

Does anyone know if you can commute from Glasgow to Gatwick/Heathrow if successful?

I was recently on a Virgin flight to Glasgow where one cabin crew member said that a few of them commute from the Glasgow area to start their shift in London. Is this possible for a newly qualified member of cabin crew? I really want to work for Virgin but not keen on moving down south permantly.

Can anyone help? Thanks

^^^^

Yes Katwoman of course it is.

Whilst it's true VA prefer you to be within a 2 hour radius from LHR/LGW, there is nothing to stop you commuting. We have commuters further than Glasgow such as Copenhagen, Dubai and even LA!!!!!!!! I kid you not.

Obviously the closer you are the better but so many of our CC commute. You just have to be prepared for the cost of it and occasionally arranging hotel stays for standby months if you haven't made friends with a CC who lives in Crawley by then ;-).

Oh and you will soon become a regular face at service stations for those early morning check ins!

Have you applied yet? I personally can't wait for new crew to start - we need some fresh faces and enthusiasm!

Good luck to all of you who have interviews btw. Any questions - just ask! x

Hey everybody,
I too applied on thursday but still to hear anything....... not sure if its good or bad sign but im just so anxious to here back.

Has anybody had any luck hear back from recruitment yet?? good luck everybody xxxx nicola

Hi A_Zone_Only I know this can be a personal question so I'm happy if you don't want to answer it. Was hoping you could give an idea of what pay is like beyond the base salary, perhaps what you can expect to take home each month?

Thanks :)

hi all,

just applied last week also, got my fingers crossed tightly that i get invited to an asessment? let me know if you get an invite so i get an idea of the time scale of when they reply if they are to invite you or not

thanks
