Parking at Easyjet academy
Hiya!
Does anyone know if you can park at The Academy at Easy Jet, Luton?
I have an assessment tomorrow morning and it would be daft for me to go into London and out again as i live in Herts. It said in my letter that there were only 50 spaces available. Also is anyone else going tomorrow?? If so i'll probably see you there!
Thanks guys,
Lou x

Hi Everyone!
Hopefully this will help those of you going for an Assessment!
Right, will try and remember all i can.
There were about 25 of us in total, its best to get there early as although the day didn't start til 9, we were registering at about 25 to (Where they took our passport and NI Number and gave us a name badge) If you get there early, its a good chance to get to know everyone and relax the nerves!
We all went upstairs to a classroom style room with a large U shaped table, and there were about 6 assessors, who took it in turn to talk a bit about easyjet. We were then asked to stand up in turn and say what our first poster on our wall was. Quite a few said Take that surprisingly. More of an ice breaker than anything!
We were then showed a video about life as cabin crew and were able to ask questions at the end.
The assessment was split into 3 stages. Stage One was a group assessment, where we were split into groups of 4 or 5 and given 2 tasks. Our first task was to build a structure out of drinking straws and blu tac that would hold a mobile phone for 20 seconds. More points for width and height. They dont really care whether the structure really works or not they want to see your team skills. There was an assessor sat with each group writing down how we worked. (remember don't be too confident and always give everyone a chance to get their ideas accross, Be positive too and say something like "yeah i think thats a great idea, how about... " if you dont agree with someone. There were some people who were quite loud and didnt get past stage one.
For the second task we were all given a brief that said we were on a sinking cruise liner and had to make a list of things we wanted to take to a nearby island to survive. we had a list of 30 items and could choose from that. We were also given individual slips which we couldn't show the group. Mine said "You are a diabetic and you must have peanuts in order to survive" I had to try and get peanuts on too. But again. they're not looking at how well you do with the task, they're watching how you react and how you work in a group. That was it for stage one.
We had a 15 min break where they marked us, and when we came back some names were called (abput 7 or 8) and they were asked to leave the room.
Stage 2 was an ability test. There were 2 written papers (A maths and English one)There is a basic maths section first, they give you a calculator (Currrency conversions and basic adding up) On that paper also was a lot of questions about easyjet.
So make sure you check out the information pack on the easyjet website!!
Also make sure you know things like.. when was easyJet floated on the stock market, when did they merge with GO, how many seats and crew members on a 319 and on a 737... which bases do they fly to/from... all multiple choice. Then there is customer service general questions. After that there are really easy customer service scenarios (multiple choice) directly linked to easyJet operations (ie refunds, reasons why refund etc...) and they give you a couple of laminated info sheet which give you all the info for the answers. Don't read into all the info too much and completely over-complicate each scenario.
We were then each in turn, given a card with a PA announcement on. We had to stand up and read it to the goup, Just real it slowly, continuously and definately. Then they give you a brief scenario on a card and you have to make up an ad-lib PA just take a min to read it, come up with a few simple lines and say it out clearly, precisely and slowly.
This is where i fell. I froze up, which looking back i could kick myself.
My card said something like "You havent ordered enough sandwiches for everybody, make announcement to inform the passengers" Everyone elses were pretty easy like "Its Mr Smiths Birthday, make an announcement from the easyjet team" or "A bag has been found on the ground, make an announcement" So all i can say is Be perpared, Don't worry, think clearly and relax.
There was another elimination after a 5 minute break when mine and another girls name was read out.
I didn't make it to the interview, but here is what it is like from someone who got through (Hope its ok to put this Oli)
"So the interview... easiest one i've ever had thank goodness! Its only about 40 minutes with about 8 proper questions total, all testing what they mention at the beginning of the day.. like your customer empathy, awareness etc etc... Its all about your experiences, usually in the work place that you are asked to explain... always talk from the customers point of view!!! It shows you are on the level... you are thinking of the customers feelings... Then there is the role play... they give you 5mins to prepare after the brief;... mine was a child (under 14)with his mum who is sitting in the row where the emergency exit is.. how are you gonna move her.. you have 2mins etc... just think about it... its not too taxing... make lots of good suggestions, ie there are plenty of extra seats, if you like you can both have window seats (info in the brief), if she asks for a free coffee... yeah fine, do it... START with appolgy for inconvenience and FINISH with appology (there is definite technique they are looking for in all of this)... remind her that you easyJet values their custom and (EMPATHY) you completely understand her problem (SAY YOU WILL MOVE THE HANDBAGGAGE FOR HER!) etc etc etc...
Then its time to ask a couple of questions... make sure you do... ie When can i start training?? Does the Airline support foreign language study?? What are your company's goals and ambitions for the future...? etc etc etc..."
Good luck! Enjoy it its a really fun day and you get to meet a lot of really nice people. But remember everything you do is being watched. Smile and be lovely and you will be fine.
Oh a lot of people on my day wore suits and quite a few went casual. I'd say wear whatever you feel comfortable in and go for it! You will be great.
Best of luck to everyone who needs it, Just remember..... Be yourself!!!

easy jet
Hey Loopyloo,

It was so good of you to take the time to inform all us easyjet wannabe's ,Just want to clarify one thing with you, will we have calculators for the Maths Test and are the currency convesions from euros to sterling. Its been about 10 years since I did maths and have forgotten the rules for conversion
, if you could give any advice on this part of the test I would very much be in your debt.
Many Thanks,
Crewboy

It included very few questions (6 main ones in total i think) and a role play that you are given 5mins alone to prepare! Not too taxing but fingers crossed i shall find out for the better in 3 to 5 working days.
The maths did seem a bit frivilouse... but who cares, it wasn't impossible, just a bit redundant perhaps.
Good luck to anyone who has it coming up, and yeah... don't bother with a tie!!

Their emphasis on the maths test is illogical.
I fell at that hurdle, was given a resit, passed, got the job, a change in personal circumstances meant I could not join at the time they offered, re-applied the year after, failed the maths as usual, told to go forth and multiply.
So on one ocasion I was good enough to start employment with them and then not. They have no idea how to recruit the right people, just look on board, as a passenger I feel unsafe, God knows what 3 people with less than 2 years experience between them would do in a catastrophe. I think easyJet so far have been lucky, but one day it will happen and God help the crew and passengers.

Hi, i'm Loopy Loo, have changed my name as just been offered a job with GB Airways! YAY!!!
Anyway for those who asked about the maths test, You do get a calculator, and they're fairly simple questions like adding up, conversions (They give you s conversion chart) giving change in different currencies etc. Think its a pretty high pass rate so make sure you brush up before you go. and learn a bit about the company as they test you on that too.
Good Luck to you all!!!

They have no idea how to recruit the right people, just look on board, as a passenger I feel unsafe, God knows what 3 people with less than 2 years experience between them would do in a catastrophe. I think easyJet so far have been lucky, but one day it will happen and God help the crew and passengers.

Anyway for those who asked about the maths test, You do get a calculator, and they're fairly simple questions like adding up, conversions (They give you s conversion chart) giving change in different currencies etc. Think its a pretty high pass rate so make sure you brush up before you go. and learn a bit about the company as they test you on that too.
Good Luck to you all!!!

The easy jet questions are listed in my Huuuuuge pos at the top. With regards to maths Q's theyre questions like
A passenger orders 3 vodka and tonics, 2 packets of peanuts and a bottle of beer. She gives you £20 but wants her change in Euros. How much do you give her.
And other questions like this

Hey Lou!!
Well done on GB! Im so surprised you didn't get in with easyJet especially as you got in with GB! I think the PA test is pretty ridiculous as interview tests go... people with experience were able to slaughter someone who had none. After all, its something thats easily learnt with a little practice, so i dont see the need to hire and fire over it. But hey, congrats anway!! You got the job and thats what matters
Just done the first 5 days of training and im pretty shattered, i think they get recruits through as quick as is humanly possible... saving money all the way no doubt. The trainers are all pretty cool, a good laugh, so it makes the 8am til 5:30pm day with 2 to 3 hours of reading afterwards a little less dry and tiring. I'm off to the hotel now (yikes!!! Two to a room, a very, very small room, beds pushed together!!) for my second exam tomorrow morning... can't wait
haha!! Good luck with your training, and good luck to all of you who are still applying!!

Oli EZ, just for your information, the PA exercise is a test of character. It is to see how you perform in front of a group. You would not believe how many crew find it difficult to string together an adlibbed PA when standing in front of 156 passengers.
And your remark saying 'get recruits thorugh as quick as humanely possible... saving money all the way no doubt....' is way out of line. easyJet now have a state of the art training facility and the training received is second to none. 4 weeks training is more than what some airlines give their crew, especially as some airlines will be training crews on several different aircraft types. You only have to worry about the Airbus 319.
With regards to the hotel, well yes that is a bit sh1te to say the least - but you are working for a low cost airline and can not expect to have luxury accommodation during training. Assuming you pass your 4 weeks training, check flights and probationary period and make it to your annual recurrent training, you will be staying in a much nicer hotel, so you have that to look forward to.
Also, might I recommend that you don't go slagging off the company just yet because 1) it will be easy to work out who you are, assuming your name is Oli and you have your second exam tomorrow!!!! and 2) you are not yet out online working for easyJet. You should leave it a couple of months before you go forming an opinion on the company, because it is not as bad as some people make out.
Now good luck to you with the rest of your exams

Oli, although I can see your point of view, it isn't always wise to make a name for yourself too early in your new career. I'm not suggesting that you can get in trouble for sharing your opinions, but people can take your comments out of context or take a different meaning from them. A lot of people from easyJet read this forum, including your trainers.
Your experience of new entrant training would probably be the same at most other airlines. The aviation market is cut-throat at the minute, and all airlines will want their new recruits out flying in the least possible time and with the minimum of cost.
Good luck with the rest of your easyJet career, and hope your pass all your exams.
