Hi Cloudy,

Yes it was through staff cv, Sunstate rung me today and asked if I would like to attend..apparently interviews are being held over 4 different days. I attended a Sunstate interview back in early 2000 but never got anywhere. I asked the lady if it was a group interview session again ( group sessions were still being used up to about 1 month ago ) and she said that it is a 2 on 1 interview. So now this time for once I am like a stunned mullet, I have nothing to say ! And I'm not sure what to expect....I think it will be like the more traditional style ( target selection ) layout which was used a while ago.

And, I'm also waiting to hear about an interview for a position doing check-in at BNE airport, it's internal recruitment only so we'll see what happens.

Hi Cabinboy
Congratulations on you Sunnies interview They'll ask questions like "tell us how you've dealt with an unhappy/difficult customer?" "give us an example of a time you've gone above and beyond a customers expectations?'" remember listen to the question asked.
At sunnies its mainly single flight attendant operation sometimes two so you'll need to show them that your very capable of working on your own and as a team. They're all very lovely ladies , you'll be great.
Best of all 2002 you'll never have to work on the Shorts, eeeeeeeeeeeeeeegggggghhhh.

Santa stop here.

Thumbs up

CB,
C O N G R A T U L A T I O N S !!
Give it all you've got, we all know that no one deserves a FA possie more than you, Cloudy, Dreams and the rest of the gang.
Was in Brisvegas on Monday for my uniform fitting, and also found myself a great apartment with a girlie from Syd that was on my flight that starts training on the same day as me... what fate! Getting very excited now...
CB, go get 'em in your intervews...just take it easy, relax and let all the reasons why you will be a great FA shine and you will knock 'em dead!
Keep us all in the know.
Cheers
SNI

Oh Dreams !! NO NO NO !!!......if your going to apply for QF in the call centre you should definetley only go for mainline reservations, Qantas holidays is run seperately and without sounding brutal is full of ex bitter travel agents, and without sounding nasty again ...is full of the people who got rejected from qantas mainline res..( i kid you not )....overall the atmosphere in QF holidays is a bit rough and these guys are not kept in the loop as much as the rest of QF.

Please email me and I will only be to happy to supply you with the details for the QF mainline MEL call centre....please apply.....I know someone like you would be perfect....don't worry about QF holidays, it is very different to mainline.

Also - on staff cv it tells you if someone has " manually reveiwed " your resume...I can tell you that since my virgin interview and the recent call from sunstate the cabincrew website does not reflect that it has been opened by these airlines...so be advised guys....it doesnt mean they haven't looked at it.

Question

Hi Cabinboy, Congrats!!! Looks like that little cheer I put in the CC 2002 thread worked!!

Anyway you are going to have to let us know what you are doing different from the rest of us!! This is the second time Sunstate have recruited since I have been on cabincrew.cv-- and the second time I have not heard from them <img src="frown.gif" border="0">

I think I might just go the old fashioned way and send them a dirty big envelope filled with reasons to recruit me!!! <img src="tongue.gif" border="0"> and maybe some chocolate --- although i don't think choccy will go too well through the post with our weather!

ps check your email

Cool

SNI,

I bet you looked damn fine in that Virgin uniform on monday ! Which suburb is your apartment in ? Please don't tell me you are going to shack up in the "cathedral place apartments" with the rest of the VB crew ? <img src="tongue.gif" border="0"> ..Welcome to the Sunshine state !

Smile - I just keep resending my cv to the airlines via staff cv once a month. This ensures my details are up to date and clearly shows I am still interested by updating my details monthly. That is my only trick of the trade !

Well guys, the countdown has started, the cv is being is tailored to suit sunstate, new shiny shiny shoes are being purchased ( the girls will be checking their make-up off the reflection of my shoes ), interview questions are being rehearsed and skin care and fitness programs are well underway !

pffffft !

WHO'S IT ALL ABOUT CABINBOY? WHO?? GO ON TELL ME!

YOU! THAT'S RIGHT! YOU YOU YOU!!!
IT'S ALL ABOUT YOU!!!

Now the countdown begins - you see everyone, it was a few months before my 23rd birthday that I started flying - so naturally, Cabinboy here (a few months short of his) should start flying too!

AND can I just say...PRETTY! THAT'S WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT! PRETTY PRETTY PRETTY! YOU'RE THE PRETTY ONE! CAUSE YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE SHOES THAT PEOPLE WILL BE SAYING "oh my god, my shoes aren't anywhere NEAR as shiny as his!"!! People will be going home crying because YOUR shoes are soooooo much better than theirs! Oh yeah baby...you better believe it...it's a ruthless wannabe community out there...

And one more thing my friend - ABOUT BLOODY TIME TOO! IT TOOK ME LONG ENOUGH TO GET UPSTAIRS! NOW IT'S YOUR TURN! AND DREAMS, CLOUD NINE, ETC...YOU'RE ALL NEXT KIDS!

I WANT TO SEE EVERYONE FLYING BY THE END OF THIS YEAR! FAILURE TO DO SO SHALL INCUR MAJOR CONSEQUENCES!!

Just remember everybody, four very important words you must say before, during and after your interview...and daily just to instil that extra bit of self centredness:

IT'S ALL ABOUT ME!

And why is it all about you???

CAUSE I'M THE IMPORTANT ONE! I'M THE PRETTY ONE! I'M THE SKILLED ONE THEY WANT! ME ME AND ME!

(I always get this excited when I hear someone has a flying interview...time for a Bex and a nice lie down I think...) <img src="redface.gif" border="0">

Mr S 2, Does this mean that because I am a couple of months off my 24th birthday that I am a step behind the mark <img src="confused.gif" border="0">

Hi Tarantella,

The icq auth did not work, not sure what happened there ? Long time no see on this forum, anyone would think your a flight attendant !

Check your email.

Cabinboy, you are going to have to make some time in your busy schedual to get together with me because......... I have a Sunstate interview too.

I was called yesterday while I was at work and returned their call this morning and have been booked in for the 14th of January!!!!

The lady I spoke to was very nice, which makes me even more excited to have the chance to become part of that team!!

To everyone else keep resending your cabincrew.cv application to show you are interested. When I logged into the site it did indicate that my resume had been looked at. So don't give up!!!

Go Smile ! Go Smile !!

WOOOHOOO !! YEHAAA !!

Did you update your Cv on staff cv like I told you too ? Was it after you updated it that they called you ? ( just trying to figure out if my theory is correct ? )

I was offered the 14th Jan smile but I took 9th Jan, so I'll be able to tell you the gossip.

Ok everyone, thats two of us with Sunstate interviews..........now we need help in finding out what questions they are going to ask us etc etc

CB
P.S - Just bought myself a pair of $195 shoes for the interview and a $60 tie - THIS TIME I MEAN BUSINESS !

I was offered the choice of the 14th or 16th of Jan which I read as there still being interview places left to fill.!!!

Anyway I updated my cv the day I read that you got your interview. I really thought that it was a useless thing to do-- I mean I thought that they had already looked at the site and why would they go again--- but they did and they found me!!

Besides it looks as though all the Qantaslink regional are recruiting, every time you log onto cabincrew.cv another one has been searching the database. Does this have anything to do with the rumour of lots of new aircraft being bought at the moment?

keep smiling
