Wow everyone, look at us, so much to share that we need to start another thread!!!
Thanks Wirraway for opening this new one up. I wanted to reply earlier today but a big blackout put stop to that.
Cloud nine I have a photo coming to you as soon as I find one that is half decent. I haven't spent too much time in front of a camera in the last couple of years!!
Talk to you all soon

Pictures Pictures Pictures ! Cloud nine you are a very pretty girl yourself. I can just see you in the khaki pants and white shirt with the Virgin embroided logo !
Ok well, because I am sick of waiting for an interview invitation by VB what do you reckon of my plan....
1. I reckon there is enough of us VB wannabe's here to make enough for a group interview - Whats say we all turn up at the same time to the head office and say we were called in for an interview, how can they turn us away when there are so many of us waiting !
2. On the inaugral flight to CNS or DRW i'm going to book myself on the flight wearing a shirt that says " I want to be Virgin Blue Cabin Crew - HIRE ME ! "........surely Brett Godfrey would be on the flight so i'd have to score an interview !
Come on Virgin, where are you ? I'm waiting for my interview !

Hey guys, Well to be quite honest cabinboy i think you might have to put ur pic on ur resume and i'm sure you'll get a interview!!! Bit of a spunk i must say!!! 
Totally agree with cloud nine on this one!!!
Well still no word for me yet about my interview...but just a little goss for all ya's my friend worked at ansett and her friend also worked there and is now working at VB in HR and i have been told that the HR girls in there don't know what there doing!!!
So she going to talk with her friend at Vb and find out whats going on with the whole interview thing!! I let you's know more when i know.
I also received an email from Emirates saying that i'm on hold for an interview session...now i know this may seem like a silly question but say i do get a call do they have interviews here or in Dubai???
Take care people...

Dreams - How did you get my pic ?......care to explain cloud nine ?...hehe 
.....now you have to send me yours dreams !...fair is fair !
The Emirates recruitment team actually travel to australia when they recruit, they usually always hit BNE,SYD and MEL. I've heard some nasty stories about the Emirates interviews - i.e - long waiting times on the day etc etc
anyway back to VB...once again I have heard the same gossip re VB HR dept - stories about applicants getting a call for an interview when they are already working for VB etc etc......not sure if it's true though.

SHEISK!!!! Cabinboy.....I have no idea how DREAMS managed to get your pics???? Care to explain DREAMS.....( he he he )
As for the Emirates interviews,cabin boy is right, they do come to Australia. I had two friends that went to the first interview in SYD about 6 months ago. Unfortunatley they were not invited back to the second. They both said it was not as relaxed as QA or VB interviews. I have heard that Emirates are very piccy with looks. They basically like blondes...but then again 1 of my friends is blonde and she didnt get in, so I cant really comment on this. All I know is that they pay top dollar and they are supposed to be pretty good to work for. Dreams...I hope you like pink eye shadow, cause I think that is part of the uniform !!! Hmmmm....Im glad to say that doesnt exist in my make up bag!!!

Wow, I am impressed with just how eager you all are to work for VB..its great to see. As you all know I am a staunch supporter of VB, even though I fly with the opposition. Its great, that even in defeat, you all are staying positive. In my mind you will all get there. I wish we had people with so much guts and determination in my airline, as you lot have.
Smile, Cloud nine, Cabin Boy, Dreams Doohan, and any one else i may have forgot.. your dreams will come true soon. Just keep on keeping on. I think Cabin Boy's idea of the group interview thing is fantastic..id love to see the reaction.
While your at it..why dont you all join Cabin Boy on the inaugraul flight he was talking about, and all wear those T-Shirts. What a great idea Cabin Boy - you have guts, determination and at the same time your a thinker. Perfect for Cabin Crew.
Can I make a suggestion to you all?
Mr Seatback 2, wrote recently that his airline, QantasLink - Impulse is recruiting. Have any of you thought of giving that a go?
From what I hear, the wages are similar (perhaps a little less) to Virgin Blues. I hear the 717 is a nice plane, and it goes to nice places. Not sure though where crew are based. I see the Cabin Crew in the terminal in Sydney all the time, so there may be a base in Sydney. I think Launceston could be another - can any one shed some light here?
Good luck to you all. I really do hope to see you working as Cabin Crew soon.

Ditch,
Thank-you for the kind comments, it's great to hear some supportive remarks from someone already in the position we dream of !
Mr Seatback is probably on a luxurious 5 day trip at the moment (b**stad!) but I know the answer to the questions him being one of my best friends and all
Qantaslink/Impulse bases - Sydney and Melbourne. They have just closed the Coolangatta base due the resumption of services back into OOL by QF mainline.
What about LST mr seatback ?

Sorry to but in guys but when you go to the Virgin Blue interviews can you tell me what they are like. I work for Virgin Atlantic and had to go through a really embarassing interview to get the job.
For your sakes I hope they are not similar, I had to sing and it was NOT good. God knows why they gave me the job!
Look forward to hearing from you and good luck with the interviews. I dont care what anyone says, Virgin are a great company to work for. They are young and innovative airlines and not stuffy and boring like some other we could mention.

Congrats Cabinboy, looks like we don't need to streak through headoffice anymore.
It's kinda strange that they would advise you what not to wear to your interview, but take their advice all the same. As for what you DO wear well let me think about that one!!
They didn't really ask you any questions about what you know about VB. In fact I dare say I could have gone to that first interview knowing nothing about the airline industry at all. All that happened at my interview was they gave us a 15 minute talk about VB, then we did the group song thing, then they asked us if we had any questions. I asked about training graduation parties and safety testing-- I thought I would try to show both ends of the scale.
Although I guess it didn't work for me!!
Good Luck

Smile, they were great questions that you asked, i cant understand why you were not asked back. I wish you were. How many days did you wait for your "no letter?" Did u have 1 or 2 interviews with them. Its a week today since my first interview.....i still havent heard, I guess they are busy and may wait till Brizzi recruitment is over before they make there final decission. honestly though, Im climbing the walls, checking my emails 20 times daily, waiting at the post box for the mail ( postie knows me now) and I even take my mobile into the bathroom with me. Stop laughing!!! Im serious!!!
