re-applying

I'm confused cos I got told that if you don't get through any part of the interview or application process that its always 6 months before putting in a new app. Does this mean that even if you don't get invited to an interview its 3 months then you can re-apply? Has anyone ever tried this or do they hold your information on record?

Interview

Ahh Helly i'm so sorry that you didn't get the job, but never mind at least you can re-apply and you know what to expect next time.
I fly from Newcastle on Monday but havn't booked my hotel yet. Can you walk from the Premier Inn to the South Terminal?

I am nervous too about these tests,as you say it's a different story when your being timed!! How long did you get to answer them??

Helly, sorry to hear that, I was in the exact same position as you back in July.
I agree the maths test wasn't hard I just fell apart and panicked and stupidly focussed on one of the questions for ages and wasted time.
I was told by the accessors though that I could reapply in 3 months as I did not pass the maths test which I can do now, yay! did they also say that to you??
Fingers crossed for second time!

re hotel /airport

Hi vsparkle !

When i got into gatwick on the thurs night it was about 8.45 ! i had not got a clue where i was going.I collected my bag as had to put that in hold with having cosmetics in.I went straight to get a taxi to premier inn but when i got to taxi rank they advised it was best to get shuttle bus what takes you direct to hotel the bus number is G2 and they run every 20mins you will pay 2.50 its not very far you could walk but i did not fell safe in dark ! the hotel was ok just what i needed for one night ! it was 60 pound per night ! ! thought if i leave the hotel for about 8am i could have a coffee in airport. there is shuttle bus at 8.10am that will drop you of at north terminal ! when you get in airport it is ok well sign posted to south termnal !

When are you going down ? let me know how it goes !
You will be fine x

Interview

Hey guys,

I have an interview on Friday the 3rd of Nov, am soooo nervous , all the information on here has been great tho, thanx to all.

Just a couple of quick questions if anyone out there can help???
I have been told that not being blonde may reduce my chances of doing well, i know this is probably not true but please let me know of any of you who arent blonde and do work as cabin crew, i know it sounds stupid but i would feel alot more comfortable hearing from you.

Another thing is the length of time that is given for the tests, 4 mins, 10 mins AAAAARGH i dont know!!

Thank Loads

I don't think not being blonde haired will reduce your chances!
I flew to dubai last month with virgin and on both flights there were female cabin crew who had black...brown hair also half the crew were of indian origin who certainly didn't have blonde hair!

[tonix2003]

i have dark brown, almost black hair. they arnt worried about hair colour anymore.

math's test!!!!!!!!!!!

hi guys,

i have an interveiw soon and i am really worried about the math's test because i am dyslexic and really struggle when it comes to timed test's, i know i could do it in "real life" but wonder if i can perform under test presure!?
is it worth telling them i am dyslexic or will it be seen as a disadvantage?

i would really apperciate any advice on this,

thanks C H x

[candi heart]
