Welcome to what my world was like. No job for 7 months. Waiting for virgin hoping I got the job!
References took 2 weeks do don't stress. The whole process can take months then speeds up in weeks / days.

Now waiting after a medical tomorrow to hear. Waiting gameeeeeee.

Wait times
 

Hey Bobby,

I got my medical call 11 days before ground school. The golden call 7 days before ground school and the letter of offer 6 days before.

Be prepared to wait and dont let it get to you too much.

TTF

Still haven't heard if anyone is joining me for G/S for Domestic in Sydney on the 26th March??

You may be all alone syd16r!

Looks like it. Well looks like it will be a nice ground school for 1!

misst_ek - I know how you feel :ugh: so frustrating! I don't think I have checked my emails so much in my life. I went to my RD mid Feb as well and its been going along quite nicely till now lol hopefully its just one of those things and were still in with a chance!

Sydneysider & TTF - Thank you so much for that, iv been moping around all day but after reading that it has given me new hope that I could still get that magic medical call lol. Its just so confusing when other people have already been sent for medicals, some not even had their references checked and then when you read even good references sometimes don't make the cut it really gets you thinking.

Don't give up hope everyone! I had my medical this morning and received the official call of offer only 2 hours after, and start on Monday as discussed last Tuesday

WHAT!? Do you get your uniform before GS now?

I thought uniforms were given after a few weeks at GS??
Or is uniform before GS for domestic only?

anyone know?

It's just a fitting but I imagine if their hours are 9-4 M-F then we can't skip out on GS for a fitting, I will know more tomorrow when I make an appointment I guess, but I imagine we receive uniforms mid way through training, anyone please correct me if you know!

Actually called Melbourne today and she said we have our fittings scheduled in GS, so not sure why that info was on my email?

Yeah i thought it was mid training. Very cool!
The uniform hangar at sydney base is at the training centre, and i think SYD does them during GS as its on the same property.

Good luck!

Just anohter question


Do they email you a start date / confirmation of offer when they call you? Did you get anything in writing, or have to wait for it in the post?
thanks

You do your uniform fitting before you start. You then get it a few weeks into G/S
The Sydney uniform fitters are a lovely bunch, Oh and the uniform was very comfy! I wanted to wear it home!

Took me 3 months....some I know a year...some weeks.
You never know. A couple months the going timeframe....

When you apply for Virgin and list your previous managers name under work history, are these the people Virgin will go about contacting as your referees?

Or, will they use seperate references you provide in your resume?

They use references you provide at the assessment day in a separate form.
But I would have the references on your resume the ones you want them to contact.
