hi everybody...Anybody who attended the AD day in Melbourne on 20/21 December 2011, please can you get in touch with me. You can pvt message me too. thanks

4th attempt for virgin can this be the lucky time, laugh if it is will have to decide over virgin or qantas or Skywest or qantaslink , regional or domestic . Decisions decisions?

So is there more AD's coming up in SYD this week?

No idea. But they advertised again last week for more CC roles. Which was a broad ad for LH SH and Dom.

I'd be tempted to ask if I don't hear back for a long time for my LH application to ask if I can try for Dom. Don't know how that works.

Ok, well if anyone gets in for SYD Domestic for the 26th March G/S message me!

syd16R - There are AD's scheduled for Tues & Wed this week

syd16R, youre booked into a GS already yeah?

How long from your AD did you hear back you got the job, or even to medical.

cheers

Mine was a long winded process as they changed my g/s 2 times on me. But from my AD to my first call was just over a week

Ahh ok, so youre all set now then and booked into a GS?
I really hope my process speeds up a bit!

Got my contract today so lets hope so!

Any news??
 

Hi sydneysider, i think we were in the same AD in january. I was expecting the reference check last week but nothing.. :( have you heard of anything??

I was at the 31st ad. Syd LH.
Yeah my refs haven't been checked either, 2 weeks for when I got the email saying they would.
Hopefully this week! Or soon! I hope there's a GS booked for LH soon. Was told on the day a possible march 12, but can't see that happening. I don't want to have to wait like other LH people who have bee waiting months and months, some nearly a year.

Who knows whats happening or how they go about it :s

Waiting waiting..
 

Yeap the same one.. We were told the GS is going to be on 12th marh too. I just cannot wait to start working.. Just thinking about it gets me all excited..lol :) Hopefully this week we would hear something? let us know if you hear any news. I will post it up too. XX

For sure. I hope a GS is soon, means they should start the ball rolling quicker, but who knows, I have no idea what happens next or when it will happen, there are a lot of people waiting. Who knows after this how long a medical will take etc.
Apparently things can move fast or VERY slow.
Lucky to have made it this far, every little step counts. Nearly there, ahh to dream of working for Virgin!

One can only dream and keep trying!

Hi all

I applied for BNE domestic cabin crew on the 15th Feb - any rough ideas of when Virgin will most likely get in touch regarding invitations to their ADs?

I know it's a horrible waiting process but my impatience is getting the better of me!

Thanks

online assesement verbal reasoning
 

I just got a email asking me to do the online assessment for virgin.
WOW its 30 questions and i did not finish , think i messed up. the paragraph s to read are confusing and so hard . is this just me?
it was 30 questions 17 minutes and got to 25 out of 30. verbal reasoning test

did any1 else have to do this test?

The Verbal Reasoning Test is standard prior to going to an AD.
I had to do it, wasn't hard, just comprehension pretty much and answering questions according to facts presented not personal opinion.
Strange for a CC job, but they must gain something from it, probably to see time management whilst in a test/learning environment, and how to read and interpret and judge information presented, and in general how switched on people are??

No idea. Also dont know if there is a 'pass' mark'.

thats wierd, i got asked to do it after my interview, a week later by email (today) . so every1 did it b4 or did some do it after?

yeah anyways guess same boat as most ppl waiting and unsure.

Thats strange, maybe they do it at different stages. Everyone at my AD did it before.

welcome to the waiting game ;)

sydneysider88
 

hey so u applied for LH . does that mean u only go to LA and AUH?
also i saw there was a job advertised think its now closed..international cabin crew auckland base...do u know wherre they fly? guessing its just nz and oz?

im in process with domestic, but think i can stil fly places like bali etc maybe even fiji?

Yea dom you can do some intl routes SH i believe, dont know how it works.

Yeah mine was for SYD base LH, so LAX, AUH only.

Hey there,

Were you at the morning or afternoon session?

Yes we are all in the same boat, 2 weeks ago we all got the email, just waiting to get the ref check done. Soon I hope. So dont feel left out, everyone I know is still the same.

Yeah it's frustrating! I thought when they said within the coming week it would be done by now.
But alas, the wait goes on :)

I'd give anything for this job right now or to hear any thing!

LH Next stage
 

Just got the email today saying that my application is progressing to the next stage for referee checks. I see that quite a few people got this email 2 weeks ago.. I thought I was unsuccessful because you guys found out that long ago! Im just happy to be through to the next stage though :O

It's a good feeling hey Tony! Just when they will contact them is the question. Still waiting!!

Hopefully things start to move sooner. I have no idea how they do things!

Congratulations Tony.S! I'm still waiting to hear something, anything about how I did, good to know people are still being told they are successful even though most people found out a few weeks ago. I hope I get the same email as you soon! Do you know of anyone else who was in our position?

Can someone tell us if virgin even send out unsuccessful emails?
I mean if you've been through interviews and ref checks etc.

I just spoke to a few mutual friends yesterday who had interviews more than a year ago and heard nothing.

So no one they knew got emails to say they didn't get it. So it seems they don't.
So to all you out there If you don't hear anything for a long time, I mean, an excessive long time, you may not have got it. Or may. It's frustrating though! Sure it's not hard to generate a generic email but maybe due to volume of applicants people slip through cracks?

Sydneysider, were your friends applying for domestic or international? They would get a lot more applications through domestic than international so maybe sometimes people would slip through the cracks, I hope it would be different for International...

Surely if they send an email to those who don't even make it to the AD they would have time to let the people who made it through to the interview know that they didn't make it... That's what I would hope anyway.

They applied for international.

Yeah I'd think If they email people either way I'm sure it's not too hard either way.

hi guys,
I was there for the VA International assessment on the 31st, morning session,
got the email & call over 2 weeks ago for the ref checks.. which still haven't been done according to my references...
at least we seem to all be in the same boat! but aren't they cutting it a bit fine if they want people to start on the 12th?
please keep us all updated if anyone gets contacted by them!

Hi Boo187,

If you don't mind me asking, how many people got through to the interview stage in the morning session? I was in the afternoon so it would be interesting to know...

Since last October I have put an application in for Virgin and have ever only seen my application status say "application acknowledged" then followed by the thank you no thank you letter. I thought what the hell I will give Virgin one last try, just went into be account and the status says "application under review" have never ever seen it say that. So does that mean they are actually looking at my application? :ooh:

MEL AD 1 Feb - Reference Checks
 

Hey All...

It has been a while but I got the email today saying they are going to do ref checks... and they did. Within 1 hour of receiving my email, my old boss text me and said they had called (and basically interviewed her too). However, they didn't contact my other two references.

SydSider - In regards to the "thanks, but no thanks"... they do. When i went for an AD about two years ago, I received one 2 days after the AD.

How long was it between the ref checks/medical/offered position... and ground school date???

TTF

virgin
 

hey attended the interview a week ago and now got email saying progressed thru to reference checks.... said to send any changes within 48hrs and refs will be checked within a week.
so good news i guess
xx
so thought i messed it up with that assesement thingy yesterday.

Crazy onecabin. Domestic must be moving quick.

My AD was 31 jan
Email saying ref checks to be done on 14 feb
Still waiting. My refs have not bee contacted yet.

I doubt with this many domestic people going through a GS for intl will be any time soon.

Soon find out. I think recruitmet would prioritize contacting refs and offering jobs to GS dates they have booked.
And apparently the training centred and stocked full and busy ATM.

sydneysider88

u know what tho im now in your position it could be long wait like u now, they said they will contact them , so will see.

hey quick question i know yr LH but i remmber at my interview irs flying salary of 38k.....this seems low is there flying hours as well? its EBA rate and 38k sounds low as my friends who work for DJ domestic say they get like close to a grand a week?

Not sure to be honest. Im not really in it for the money or benefits so doesn't matter to me.

I'm in it to help people, the team, work for a good company, the experience, the growth, and to be happy and smiling everyday for work not matter how hard or tiring it is :)

Groundschool Perth 6th March
 

Hi guys, I finally got my golden call today...so excited!

Groundschool starts Tuesday 6 th March in Perth, is anyone else on this GS?


Don't give up hope...after 4 months of waiting I finally got there.


Can't wait ;)

Hey guys,

Im new here. Wondering if anyone attended the AD in Melbourne on 14 Feb 2012? And if so have you heard re ref checks yet? I remember them saying 2 weeks, but seeing everyone else's posts... seems like there's a huge delay.

Thanks heaps :):)

Congrats Emma-loo. So they don't really give you much notice before a GS hey? Not that it worries me I'd be happy for short notice.
So that's a positive for all us waiting.
What was your timeline/wait like/dates? Of the whole thing?

I guess some bases would be busier than others. Ie Sydney.


Time to fly- crazy your refs were checked right away. What base are you for? Any further contact from them since?
The refchecks are pretty much interviews! It's full on.

I guess it's all worth the wait on the end - if you get it. The uncertainty is a killer. At least once your offered a GS you can relax a bit more.
