HOORAY HOORAY! That's 2 of you!!!
I imagine the questions would be very similar to the Eastern ones (all targeted selection, company knowledge type questions). When I last went thru the Eastern one (in April this year), it felt very fierce (question after question being fired at you)...
Those of you who have been to the Results Centre should use the "Mock Telephone Interview" service - REALLY helped me get focussed on my answers etc before I went in!
Those of you who HAVEN'T been, send me an email and we can discuss further!! Hell, I've been thru 11 - I should at least REMEMBER the type of questions they asked! Practise makes perfect and all that!

Smile - I also see that virgin and eastern are poking around cabin crew staff cv also. Does virgin have anyone left to interview ? I think they have just about interviewed all of Australia !
How is your interview prep going ? I have a few days left and I think I am almost there as far as prep is concerned.
Please god, let me be the chosen one...

<img src="smile.gif" border="0"> Smile...you said you updated your CV on Staff cv. Did you add more info or change data? I havent updated mine as there has not been any changes since I registered, but I did resend it when I heard they were recruiting. But...boo-hoo...I havent heard anything. My cv has only been looked at 4 times. Have you any hints for me?
Anyway Im looking very forward to hearing how you and CB go. Im crossing my fingers for u both. <img src="smile.gif" border="0"> <img src="smile.gif" border="0"> <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

Thanks cloudy for your support and the email you sent me with those sample q's.
Mr seatback and I today conducted a mock interview (over the phone) which made me realise there is still so much to prepare for.
Smile thanks for the phone call, did you get the history email I sent you?

Let them know that you are very very very passionate about this industry. Cloudy, don't give up!!!
The only things I change on staffcv are how long I have worked for my current employer!!! Other than that I just resend and resend. Unfortunatly they don't let you tell them anything that will make you stand out from the crowd, so follow Kely's advice and jump on the snail mail bandwagon- or even the email. Maybe print out a copy of what you have put on the staff cv site and put it in your letter.
Cabinboy -- thanks for your email. I will try to call you Tuesday night for your final best wishes. Nice and early so you get plenty of sleep!! <img src="tongue.gif" border="0">

I have to tell all you guys how refreshing it is to see your enthusiasm..I have been in this caper for over 30 years, and it seems to me that anyone with your enthusiasm deserves at least a chance...make sure you know your airline and all about it is all I can help with ..and NEVER believe rumours in this game! Wait till you see the evidence with your own eyes re start dates, nuumbers being recruited etc. And do remember it's NOT an easy job..it's bloody hard! Have fun!!!!

kely,
Don't worry about the choices you have made, just go for it now. You can't preempt what will happen in the future.
The first thing you have to learn to live with in this industry is that it is always changing, always evolving, and that everyday will bring a new challenge.
I've been in cabin crew now for 14 years, domestic and international, and I learnt really quickly never to assume anything. I only planned to do it for a year or two!
You'll love your new job for however long you do it, and on the brighter side if something was to happen with Hazo look at the experience you'll rack up. And as you know all airlines love you to have experience.
Safe and happy flying to you!

Hey Cabinboy, how did your Sunnies interview go? Just got another reject letter from Eastern to add to my steadily growing pile. Made it to second interview stage so at least I didn't have to do the walk of shame after the group session. Hope you have better news! <img src="frown.gif" border="0">

All I can say is put it down to experiance....
Dont give up just yet..I think that quiet a few of us will be lucky in 2002..just a gut feeling that I have...
Take care <img src="wink.gif" border="0"> <img src="wink.gif" border="0">

Thanks for your kind words Cloud Nine. Just a bit frustrating not being able to get feedback. Was looking forward to posting a "got the job" message. Think I've got a better chance of winning lotto (hey now there's a thought, no more interviews!)

Hi my friends,
Sunstate interview was good - I answered all of the questions very well and was really proud of myself. But just like all interviews you just never know how "they" perceived you, and...what they think of you.
Believe it or not - I want this sunstate job more than virgin, so it's going to hurt if I don't at least get invited back for a second interview. Sunstate are just so warm and friendly - it gives me goose bumps !
I'll let you know the outcome
CB
p.s- go smile babe, show them what you've got! Let's make their decision on who to recruit really hard !

Hello again,
Well everyone I had a gut feeling that today the postman would deliver my fate (2nd interview or not ?), I know that sunstate are very fast with giving you a response so I sat and waited for the postman !
As the postman approached I started getting very nervous.......then.......he handed me an A4 envelope with Sunstate titles on it.....I knew damn well a rejection letter doesn't come in an A4 envelope.
Oh yeh ! Oh Yeh !.........2nd interview !! woohoo.
Interview date is TBA.
well....I am 1/3 of the way there..no need to get excited yet...at least I know I am not stuffing up anything with my inital appearance etc etc.

Yeah Cabinboy... how does it feel!!!
I know I'm feeling nervous as all hell!!!
Second interview... did the A4 enelope have anything in it about what the next interview is all about. Because (thinking positive) we will hopfuly be preparing for that one together too.
I have Sunday off work so all my last minute prep will be happening on that day, so don't be surprised if you get a call (or ten) from me then.
Talk to you soon
Love Smile
