Sofresh..... Despite what has been said on this thread and what you've herd, Australian has changed it's recruitment style.What they are looking for hasn't changed.
My tip to anyone who gets an interview is to fly on Australian up to Cairns.... Get the feel and vibe of it all, it could assist in the interview process.
Remember Australian is a low cost airline, not a no-frills one... It has 30% lower overheads than it's parent airline. Know its destinations, know what its market focus is, capacity of aircraft, fleet size etc etc.
Goodluck to all who apply (it's worth it)

Australian is a great comapany to work for and good luck to all.
The recruitment process may change from time to time but they want "real" people, good people who can relate to our pax in a comfortable way, (and you dont have to model underwear).
My opinion of most of our crew are people who go to work and have a good time with our pax. Yes we work hard but with the team we get it done. We provide an Australian service that is unique to our culture, it's relaxed but also understanding to our Asian passengers. We provide a "g'day mate" to the Australians on Bali flights but also provide traditional greeting to our Japanese passengers. We have unique crew who can adapt to any situation. We have language courses offered to us from the company and through the experience of other crew members we earn a great deal of cultural awareness.
Put your application in, you will love it at Australian!!

If you don't speak an Asian language fluently, but know the basics, do they still consider you? I spent 6 weeks with a Japanese family which was great and learnt a great deal about their culture and everday life, as well as going to places like Bali and Singapore? Maybe a silly question, but is this something they'd be looking for and do they see it as an advantage?
your help would be great!
thanks!

Ranjah,
Probably the reason you were not considered a "language speaker" is because although you may be profficiant in Hindi it's currently not a language required by Australian Airlines. If they do start flying to India then it may well become a recognised language. As the web site says they are looking for Japanese, Cantonese and Mandarin. They are the 3 foreign languages officially recognised at the moment. There are crew that speak all sorts of languages but although they may be useful the 3 I mentioned are the main ones required for the routes they fly at the moment.
Also, to pass as a language speaker you must have the required documents as the web site states. Good luck.
