Hi sweet'n'innocent, WEll done!!!! 
Do you know anyone in Brisbane? Feel free to email me if you need someone to show you around, or help you go house hunting. Or if you just need a friend so that moving interstate isn't so daunting.
I'm sure Cabinboy wil also be interested in meeting a fellow Pruner!!!

Sweent N Innocent,
Can you confirm with me if you will be BNE based ? are the relocation costs at your own expense ?
What day was your first group interview and how long did it take since that day to get your offer of employment ?
Congratulations
Cabinboy

Hi CB,
All I can say is that is that the VB recruitment process was very full on!
My first interview was on the 30th of Oct, and I was called back that afternoon for next round the next day. After being successful in the one on one I was asked to stay for the final one on one interview the same day. At the end of that final I was asked to book in for my med.
Following the med I had a trip overseas planned ( VB called home while I was away, I am assuming to advise I had been successful? ) and on my return - 19 NovI - I received a phone call with the offer of a position starting Jan 07. I was told I would receive a contract through the mail within 2 weeks.
In answer to your question, I believe I am to be based in Brisbane, they have asked numerous times if I am prepared to relocate and yes it is at your own cost. I thought that all VB crew are based in BNE?? Is there a possibility that I could be based in SYD?
I am excited and happy about this offer, but to be honest I have lost alot of sleep over what I am leaving behind, and the move is not and easy decision to make....
BUT, I can't believe this is finally happening I have wanted this for so long! Whatever it takes, I will do... I can't wait to start!
Thanks for your support CabinBoy...

Hi Cabinboy,Dreams,Ditch,Smile,Feris,Doohan,Biccychuccer, and anyone else that I have missed..
Today I received my "no' letter from VB...Even though I half expected that I was not successful, it is still is dissapointing. But at least Im not left hanging and waiting anymore.
The worst thing about it is not the fact that I didnt get into VB, its the fact that it will probably be months and months before another airline recruits again. Thats the saddest thing.
But there are alot of us that are in the same boat and all we can do is keep trying and trying.

Commiserations Cloud Nine, know the feeling! Even though you have an inkling you're gonna get the dreaded letter, still not pleasant to finally get it, huh. Hang in there babe, you'll get there - you know you will. VB's loss I say. Have you tried Impulse/QF Link and all the regionals or is that a "oh derrrr" question?

Cloud 9,
Bad luck my friend ..... I'll say this though ....from my experience and dealings with you I have a very high opinion of you. You are caring, compassionate, itelligent and gorgeous - So I know one day you WILL make it because you definetley have the " right stuff " to make a valuable contribution to any airline.
Keep the faith and don't give up.
CB
P.S - Looks like VB are doing a big rejection mailout, I'm extremely confident mine is on the way !

Cloud Nine, I am so sorry to hear about your letter. There wasn’t anyone that didn’t deserve it more than you. Seriously… you inspired a lot of people on this forum, including myself, through you dedication and never say die attitude!
I am proud of you!
Throughout this forum, we have heard a lot about Virgin Blue… Qantas…. Virgin Blue… Qantas and maybe the odd Emirates. What about Ansett Mark II?
Seriously… there is a good chance that our proud Aussie airline will fly again successfully, and we all need to pray it does, because a reliable source of mine says… they will be doing an off the street Recruitment very soon. Once the Administrators have signed off to fox Lew bid and paid the existing staff there entitlements, our beloved Ansett will spread its wings again, Giving everyone the opportunity to apply!
I can honestly say Cloud Nine, you would look Great in Blue and Gold uniform, so too would Cabin Boy, Dreams and anyone else I forgot to mention on this forum. I too would look forward in donning my uniform again, but I have to re apply just like everyone else.
So gang, hang in there… as one door closes an A-320 one opens!!!!
Absolutely!!!

Cabinboy, Doohan and KEM(oops how did I forget u)
Thankyou for your posts..very VERY sweet. Had a shocker of a day, and all your posts (plus a Carlton cold) made me feel alot better. I only wish that you 3 were doing the interviews, Im sure I would have been successful. LOL.
Kem...yeppy I have appiled with every airline possible. Youve gotta be in it to win it!!!
Doohan...Ansett II?? What is the go there? I was under the impression that sadley they were doomed. I hope not, for your sake and all of us wannabes.
CabinBoy..what can I say, your my last hope that at least one of us will get some good news regarding VB.
Take care all...x

VB course started today,a few candidates didn`t turn up!
You VB girls all look the same.Was on turnaround in BNE and noticed a training school on lunch break,my favourite was the young cute girl,about 19,looks a bit like the lead singer off No Doubt.For sheer salaciousness though,liked silicon t$ts.
Hey girls,don`t listen to the male flight attedants,especially the ex AN ones,they are just trying to keep you to thereselves when referring to sleazy pilots!!
Anyone recognise NoDoubt,tell her she has a big fan.

Hey guys - recently got a start with QFlink/The Pulse but up the pointy end, not down the back. Mores the pity, I think because my first impression of the Cabin Crew thread is that you're all ***SHOCK*** pleasant to each other!
I usually reside on Dunnunda and Godzone and quite frankly it seems to me (I've always known it, mind) that the vast majority of my peers wouldn't know a kind word if it thumped them in the head.
Ultimately, love your work back there and keep up the standard.

Cheers big ears, oh and Sweet and Innocent;
CONGRATULATIONS

Hi Ditch, I think that is pretty much the standard letter. Oh well-- I think i mentioned in a post a while ago that we should start up our own airline. Even if we all turn out to be bumbling, clumsy and a little bit quirky-- we all know that we will be successful due to pure determination.

Ditch,
Im sorry that you too got the same letter as most of us.
Yeppy mine also said I would be kept on file. What a load of crock!!! Honestly do you really think that it will be kept on file???? Unfortunatley I cant see my self receiving a call from them inviting me to another interview.
Oh well...we ca only keep trying

DREAMS...I cant beleive that you got another letter?!?!?! Thats terrible!
I remember when this thread first started, a few comments were posted about VB being unproffesional ect ect....hmmmmmmm....Im sad to say that I think it may be true. Dont get me wrong Id still love the chance to work for them, but honestly I think there may be a few hic ups in the HR department.
