Thumbs up

Hi Guys!
I'm new to this little forum, but what a forum! Its awesome, my friend told me about it. You guys are full of such good advice, thankyou so much!

I put my application for Virgin in last week after hearing about an advert in The Age. So my fingers are crossed! I'm from the Gold Coast but are willing to relocate to the cold if I get a chance to be a Flight Attendant!

Just a question: I was talking to a girl who told me that she didn't get accepted into Virgin as she had a degree. I have a degree also, but I can't see how this would effect your application if you have the nessasary customer service exp, personality, presentation etc that Virgin Blue are looking for. What are everyone elses thoughts on this?

Thanks for the great posts

Thats total bullocks! I know of several DJ flight attendants who have degree's (in fact one has two!)....

Perhaps your friend may have misunderstood why she was unsuccessful.

Good luck with your application!

I thought it was bullocks! I think she did misunderstand why she was unsuccessful (this girl didn't look like Paris Hilton for nothing if you know what I mean....)

Thanks for your help!

Hi fourplay, I went to an assessment in March and it was exactly how its been described in all posts I have read here, same games etc. Sorry I cant give you a newer update.

I didn't make it through so still have 9 more months to wait till I can try again! Heartwrenching especially when they are still advertising Melbourne positions!!!

Hi Fourplay

How long did you have your application in before you got your invitation? I have had an application in for a month and haven't heard anything yet.

I attended a VB assessment day aproximately a month and a half ago and the format is still very similar to what has already been posted here.

They are a fun airline and from my experience on the day they were after people with a certain flair. So if you are to attend you could wear just about anything. Some applicants were dressed as if going out to a club. But seriously, most girls who got through wore a nice skirt, either black, grey, beige, chocolate colour with a white shirt, either plain or striped. One girl had a black skirt with black and white of the shoulder top but she was really gorgeous, bubbly girl with beautiful blond hair and full of confidence and she got through to the second round.
At the table with the activities, really smile, be full of confidence, you will have activities (card game etc). Really get involved, dont sit back.
If you can sing or dance, put alot of effort into it and show that you can because on their flights there is no tv, movies etc, you are the entertainment.
I would love to tell you more about the interview but did not get through to the second round,
Good luck, I hope this helps,

Heya all,

It seems as though the recruitment has slowed down a little or been a little quiet at DJ lately. Is this right or am I wrong?

Just havent heard of anyone going through or anything happening since the last post on here.

How did you go fourplay?

Does DJ have any new jets on the way?

Hope all is going well,

Theeya's

Question Virgin Blue Recruitment

Hi all,

Was wondering if anyone knows what's going on with Cabin Crew recruitment at Virgin Blue at the moment?

I've heard rumours that they're on a freeze at the moment cause they have too many? Anyone know??


Cheers


Scotty

I heard that they might be holding off till Jan next year. I believe they just started another school in Mel in the last couple of weeks,so that should see out the year.

Hey!

Hey!

I've been told by cabin crew of DJ that they've recruited heaps and have had waiting pools (like Qantas' short lists in other words). One by one they're calling them for ground schools. And yes, Jan recruitment is the next rumoured one, but is it for Perth base!?!

Next recruitment is around mid January....17th springs to mind and is more than likely to be for MEL basings.......recruitment for BNE basings to follow shortly after that.

That's the plan at this stage anyway!

All the very best with it! No plans for a PER base to my knowledge nor have I heard any rumours of one.
