Dicko 17 I am EXACTLY the same. Mine was about a month ago and still haven't heard a thing. What's the email address we can use?? The wait is so frustrating.

Dicko I wouldn't worry about one week! That's too soon. I haven't even contacted them and it's been nearly a month.
My refs were checksed right away but no word of medical. Don't stress. There's TOO Many applicants ATM.

ground school begins today!!!!!

good luck everyone =) will try and update as much as i can when im not too busy studying hehe :O

Yay made it through the day, was very nice, relaxed and lovely accessors, now the waiting begins

Tips for Mam AD
 

Hi guys,

What's your best tips for the assessment day ?


Congrats to those who made it through and fingers crossed!


Im attending the one on the 24 th Feb in Perth, anyone else going on this day?

If you look back in the previous MAM thread Emma there are dozens and doezes of posts re AD for mam. Some recent a page back or so.

Good luck.

Be yourself, they can tell. Dress the part, they like that. Smile mingle look through other posts they really really help, that's what I did and helped with nerves as you had a rough idea on what to expect. Good luck

Question.

It's been a month since my AD. I am not concerned about the wait at all.

Yet I was thinking of maybe emailing MAM just out of initiative and keenness.
Would they maybe like to see people take the initiative to email them re. Their position in the process or would they not see it like that at all.

I will probably get a standard answer email but can't hurt I guess. Nt fussed about the wait time although it would be nice to know something!

Sydneysider88,

I am in the same situation as you, and I did email them a couple of days ago. They replied right away, and I found out where I'm at.

So still waiting then? Have you had your medical?
I may email them Monday and just see.

Yes still waiting, and no haven't had the medical yet. You might as well - you've got absolutely nothing to lose.

Can anyone tell me, when do they check your swimming ability, is it during ground school? What is involved exactly, and is it very difficult?

Ability to paddle, the listening position, pull someone into a liferaft, ect check out some youtube video's.

So after this February round of interviews does anyone think there will be more in the coming months?

Thanks guys will do ;)

GOOD LUCK and just as Marly said - be yourself :) They can tell when you're not. And the best thing that helped me was just to be friendly with everyone as you're all arriving and waiting to be invited in. You feel so much better, and then when they shift you around tables chances are you've already broken the ice with some of the other applicants - so you work together heaps better and don't stress as much :) Really worked for me x

What happened with Virgin, I thought you was in for the next ground school?
With MAM dress the part - when they say business attire wear it - they was a girl there in casual clothes and she wondered why she did not get a call back.
Mingle, smile heaps, talk to every one will help heaps with group activities and remember to talk add your two cents worth, say what your thinking about the situation.

Good Luck

For all you people waiting with MAM.

Got an email from them today, nearly a month after my AD.
Simply said they are still processing and carefully reviewing applications and there will and can be lengthy delays at this time. Blah blah, they will get back to me as soon as it jumps up in the process.

So don't you guys fret if you don't hear in a month or twos time! Even for a medical. Keep going with your jobs now and lives. Any contact is a golden bonus.

Hey guys,

Just finished medical :$ apparently I have a tight right shoulder lol... bursitis... Physio said nothing wrong so I hope that was that and I get through... Fingers cross now waiting for my golden call :s

Good luck to everyone else!!!

I've got bursitus in my left shoulder and i got through

Don't stress!
