'subject to availability'

But that doesn't stop them throwing a paddy when you apologise and say we haven't got them. Honestly at times going by their reactions you would think we have just said the engines have fallen off

The pa announcements are easy and nothing to worry about. Mine was
There is a stag do travelling, announce it. Other people's were things like tell the passengers to disembark from the front of the aircraft. Easy peasy. xx

Hi Emma,

All the info you need is on Easyjets website, where it lists their fleet. They have 2 aircraft - the Airbus A319 (156 pax) and the Boeing 737 (149 pax) But like i say everything you need to know is on their website under "about us" at the bottom
All the best

Thumbs up SYDNEY EASYJET INTERVIEW, 5TH MAY, 2006

Hi Everyone,

I'm been accepted for an assessment with Easyjet in Sydney on the 5th of May.

I was just wondering if there's anyone out there who reads this thread that will be going also. I'm actually starting to feel a bit nervous the interview!

Also, I read on Easyjet's website that if you get accepted for the position, you have to get at least 90% in the training exams. Does anybody know if these exams are difficult, and whether or not the exams are open or closed book exams?

Any info would be helpful!

-Mopsy

Hi Mopsy

The exams are only difficuly if you don't pay attention to your instructors during training and don't revise!

The exams are multiple choice but they do sometimes have 2 similar answers, of which only 1 is correct so you have to pay attention and READ the question properly.

The exams are all closed book exams, if they were open book it wouldn't be worth doing the 4 week training course as anyone could find the answers in less than 1 days training!

What I'm wearing to my interview

Hi Guys,

I've decided that I'm going to wear a pair of jeans, a black blazer and nice open collar shirt to my interview with black leather shoes for the Easyjet interview. I've read comments on this thread where people have gone either causual or formal and still got in...so I'm thinking that I'll go half-half haha ....

What do you think about this? Do you think I'll be ok? To be honest, I'm not really a full on a suit guy and I don't feel that I'd be my most confident wearing a suit.

I had been thinking about EZY for ages, and thought that one day I would go to the UK and apply. I just got back from two months overseas, so I missed the newspaper ads. I just happened to be on their website, checking entry requirements and I saw the link for Australian Applicants. I filled out the application yesterday arvo, and got the invitation a few hours ago, after applying for several other airlines, and waiting and waiting and waiting, I was so excited!!!!!!

I'm going on the 5th too, see yo guys at 0830 at the CC.

What am I going to wear?????

I am also really stressed about this whole 5 year history I don't know all the exact dates, and I have worked overseas heapd, and I don't know who to put down as referees.

Unless you know the exact dates for the last five years, and can supply references for every period, it is not even worth applying. You have to have a full and complete five year history with references, and a criminal record check to get an airside pass. Sadly, this is a requirement that cannot be relaxed or bent in any way.

What for a reference can I give them when I haven't done anything for 4 month (or traveled)?

I would appreciate any help.

thx

Aussie assessment goers

Hi All, it has been great reading your posts about the assessment day for easyJet! I have a Melbourne assessment on the May 10. Was just wondering if some of you Sydney goers might know about getting the tax department to send a letter showing all the dates and companies we've worked for? I called them the other day and they said they could only tell me over the phone - and this didn't include finish dates! Any ideas??

T girl - I had a lovely lady on the phone for the tax office help me out....Firstly the list they ask u for is basically your copies of group certificates. This will take up to 28 days to be sent out, so send off for it now and hope it gets here in time otherwise explain it couldnt be sent in time. If you have been good and kept all your tax info, you too should have copies of your group certificates, these will have your exact working dates with your employer and therefore solves any mysteries. Do get official copies from the tax office tho!

The letter the tax office asked me to send them was as follows -

My Name, Address, Tax File Number, DOB and signature.
Then the reason why i needed a 5yr payment summary (Group Certs) with Statuatory Declaration.
Please write when u need it by and that it is URGENT.

The fax number for the tax office is 02 93742688

Hope that helped!! Good Luck to all going - please let me know how u go!!

Last 5 Years!!!

I managed to figure all mine out finally...! I knew where I had worked, but couldn't remember the dates, so I called/emailed each company and they have told me the exact dates.

I got it all, and just in time!
