i'm going to a recruitment day on the 9th at Gatwick for thomsonfly. bit nervous as it will be my first one!!

anyone got any advice as to what the thomsonfly people are looking for etc? what we will have to do on the day?

Hi Jenni

Good luck with your interview!

Its natural to be nervous, but the best advice is relax and enjoy yourself!! You will probably never see the majority of the people who were there again, that seemed to help!

Personally dont think they are looking for a particular type of person - god knows, if they were i wouldnt have got this far! Its the biggest cliche but just be yourself, they will know if ur not.

The order of the day is pretty much the same as everyone else:-
Maths test
Group interview
Roleplay
2/1 interview

The day lasted about 6hrs (lots of breaks!) but I spose this depends how many people turn up.

I would say PM if you have any questions but Im offline for a couple of weeks from now and also I probably wouldnt be much help hehe

Let us know how you get on!

Bye.

Makes me laugh all the messing about, I mean how much do you lot actually get paid ? to put up with all the assessments and being laid off when its quiet etc...must be tough, sure must be worth it in other ways - I just can't personally see what

Hi everyone,

I found out yesterday that i to am in the holding pool i to wonder what the next step in the process is as the letter just says that if suitable positions become available they will contact me.

Can anyone advise what the next step is and when i will hear anymore from them?

Thanks in advance

From the grapevine the earliest courses start in february, so assuming they give at least one months notice, we should start hearing soon!

the earliest course for thomson new entrants is in LGW. 11th of January.
A friend of mine was in the pool for 4 or 5 days (had her interview at the end of nov) and then she received a letter informing her about the date for her course.

gregers I don't think you have necessarily missed the boat.

In our local paper yesterday, Tfly were advertising for cabin crew and the advert said that they had 2 more open days in January and 2 more in February.

So look on thomsonfly.com and check it out! (Don't know which base they were talking about though.)

gregers

Many thanks T1,
off to check out their website.

206 CC: just out of interest, when did you enter the holding pool for T.fly? Are you starting your initial course on 1st Feb? I'm guessing you're going to be MAN based?

Has anyone else heard anything from Thomson about initial training?
