Does that mean you have to wait 12 months to reapply? ��

Yes it does

Hey beautiful people


Hope you guys are enjoying Gs Manymiles and Kate.

I called VA the other day and was told there would be 3 ground schools running in Melbourne in January. I'm not sure if this was just specific to the October GS this year or if it always is, but to my understanding Adelaide members also come and get put up in a nice hotel (jealous).

They said they'd email very soon about the specific dates. I'm off to the States until the 4th so praying mine isn't until at least the 5th haha.


Look forward to discussing specific GS dates when we get more info.

What number did you use haha I am in the Brisbane talent pool and waiting very (im)patiently for more info of when our next GS is.

Lauren98 - - so sorry to hear that. But I agree to definetely keep trying. I know many people that tried numerous times before they were through.

Skyangel I'm in the same boat as you for Brisbane. I would love there to be a GS before Christmas but apparently the next one isn't until February. They had a GS in Brisbane start on 7th November but that was from the August recruitment round and my AD wasn't until 12th October. Which AD did you attend?

I attended the afternoon session on the 26th of September :) keen to know if anyone from that one is on here & what stage they are at! X

I'm Adelaide base but still waiting to hear on an AD date. Hopefully hear soon...is anyone else an Adelaide Base? Hope all who are on active hold hear something soon about Ground Schools. If they are doing three in Melbourne, they may be doing a few state combined ones hopefully.

Hi
Does anyone knows how long to wait to hear from them once your referees been contacted
Please share

Skyangel20 just call the head office number and they'll direct your call.

Assesment Day - Update
 

Just thought I would update those who have been successful in making it through to an AD, but are just waiting to hear of one scheduled in their base – I’m Adelaide Base and the next Adelaide one is possible end of Jan/early February. I called Head Office to just get a rough time frame – hope this helps a few people.

Hi
I have done the elevator pitch for Auckland base in October and received confirmation of progression to a recruitment day. I see applications close 24th. Does anyone have any idea of how long it takes to get to interview stage? Also Whether if successful I would be in the Janyary ground school or maybe have to wait for a later one?

Also could anyone please share what happens on the assessme Day and what I'd need to study for the online assessment? Sorry so many questions it's all new to me ��

AD days start with a presentation about Virgin, then go to group activities, then one on ones. A couple of days later you get an email saying if you go onto online testing or not then you have 72hours to complete it, after you have completed it (it's a psychometric test so you can't study for it) they let you know if you are onto references or not. My ref checks took 6 weeks but I know of others that have taken 4. Then you get a medical and final review then an offer. If there are no gs scheduled you get put in a talent pool till one is avail. If you go back through this forum there is a wealth of info on all different experiences.

Thank you so much Skyangel20 !! Good to know what to expect

Hi Sky, I was in the afternoon session that day too. I'm in the talent pool. Once They have a gs date I just need to do the medical. If I pass that, which I would hope. :) I need to also get my rsa, first aid and extend my passport because it no longer has 6 months.

Hi All I attended AD today for MEL base. Was such a great day. Good luck to everyone awaiting their response.

I don't know if anyone is still using this forum. But I found out today i passed AD - progressed to online testing and completed that. Awaiting response

I have a AD day 6 Dec -yay!

I cant open the attachments in their email ie the candidate cover form etc? The page says the site cant be reached? Did anyone else have this trouble?
Also can anyone enlighten me on what they do for the group activities? thanks guys

Passed the online testing. Onto Reference Testing!

Flytofreedom,

On AD you will go in and they will give you a brief quiz on VA. From there they do background info on the company as well as an insight to pay etc...

You will then introduce yourself to the group and recruiters and from there do the Group Assessment. Our question was "You have had an emergency landing and are unaware of your surroundings or of any injuries, list only 5 items that you would take and why?"

From there you have a break and from there you do one-on-one interviews.

I wish you the best of luck.

Virgin seem to be doing a lot of hiring, anyone know why? Is there high crew turnover, or are they expanding?
