British Mediterranean Interview (help)
Hi all!
Have just received a letter from BMed saying I've been "specially selected" to join them for an interview for Cabin Crew in mid-August.
Now, I've done a search on the forums, and as there is some information on the company itself, there doesn't seem to be much on the interview process itself.
If somebody would be able to shed some light on this I would be ever so grateful, and if you could include any other relevant info that would be great too!
If there's something you'd rather not say on the forum, you can PM me.
Many thanks.

RE: BMed
Hi there,
I worked for BMed for nearly 2 yrs..... What a nightmare company to work for. Well, that's how I found it.
Typical scenario, check in for your xxx day trip , then the head training guy ( what an unpleasant character, may I add )... sit's in the briefing's, waiting to trip crew up on their briefing questions. This is one of many ( that I could list ) awful examples of what goes on there....... Didnt he hate that rolling briefing !.. only because he hated the thought of the crew having a head start on any briefing.... What a hateful person he is.... still, at least he has to live with himself.......
I guess BMed is something you have to do for yourself, but hey, why not just jam your fingers in the bedroom door instead if you like that sort of thing........
I work for VS, third time lucky..... How happy I am now, gawwwwwd... when I think of the things & how I felt frequently, while working for BMed.... well, lets just not go there.....
Vsboy........

oh I remember him! but what about the cabin crew manager!!!! she's even worse. togther they are the Kray twins! At least your interview is the only time you will have the dis pleasure of meeting this awful character, the rest of the time she sits in her office, door locked picking out names from her hit list! oh you might have the misfortune of bumping into her on her frequent jollies to tesco! she'll give a grunt..........how sweet she is.

Somebody asked for some constructive feedback to a question. Not an open forum to bitch AGAIN about management. That was done on another thread.
Maybe its for the best that people who are so anti the company leave to make way for new blood.
I have worked for the company for a few months now and see nothing of what is mentioned above.
Interview Tips :
If you have a knowledge of where the company came from, where it is now and where it is going in the future.... This looks good in a B Med interview!
Knowing the BA product. For example..... BA Executive Club, The different levels etc. One World and how this is a benefit to passengers. Why the BA brand is good for B MEd.
Also have some examples of times when you have demonstrated good customer service, what you would do if you saw someone stealing from the bar, what you would do if you were down route and nobody called you to go out, difficult crew members in the galley etc. How would you deal with all these situations.....
Hope this helps a little.

Dear Svona,
I worked for them for 5 years....and left the company end of last year as a Purser. They are pretty strict . I personally never had any problems with the CCM and as far as I am concerned as long as you keep yourself out of trouble and arent mouthy then you wont have any problems.
They like you to do your job and not step out of line too much.....people who had issues with the CCM and any other management had too much to say for themselves.....all adds up really doesnt it? Having said that one of the Training Managers is not paticularly pleasant!
