Maths Test
 

High,

I was just wondering if anyone knows whether Virgin have reinstated their maths test? I went for the interview before and made it through the group part but failed the maths test :(

I know they suspended it for a while but not sure if it's in at the moment. Alternatively anyone know of a good maths tutor ;)

Thanks

seriously best of luck, how long did you have to wait between your last interview and this one?

Just Had My Virgin Interview
 

Just to let everyone know i had my interview on the 9th oct and i was soooo nervous! but the day will go smoother if you just try to relax and be yourself! You should also be proud of yourselves for even getting an interview as we got told that out of 45,000 applicants a year only 15% of them get an interview. Also just to correct someone earlier on :) Not everyone got through to the 2:1 interview there were 7 of us in total we had a short break after the Maths and english tests and then suddenly there were only five! i didnt see them leave or get asked to leave or anything very discreetly done! wondered why the room seemed empty??? Anyway if anyone wants to ask anything i will help out as much as i can xx

i have so many questions like is it good to wear a suit? also im wearing a grey suit, what colour shirt shall i wear with it? also what makes people not get through the group interview? im so so so excited but im worried i will talk myself out of the job coz when im nervous i talk for great britain. arrrggghhh any advice would be much appreciated. thanks hun

Hi! I had my interview with Virgin back in August and start my training in three weeks time. I certainly know about the pre interview jitters and wondering what to wear etc. A suit is always a good move. I wore a grey suit and had a white shirt underneath (very fitted with bow round middle). I wore maroon heeled shoes and matching handbag. A touch of red lippy would be great too (dont go over the top though!). As for the interview, just try to remain calm and think about what you want to say before you go in. Dont rehearse it too much as this will sound fake-just be yourself! They want to ask questions that you can relate back to your experiences about customer service, good and bad experiences and how you deal with situations. During the group activities, my best advice, as before is just be yourself, if you are right for the job your personality will show this and they will certainly notice.:O Good luck.x

you are a little star cs78. i no a few crew already and they have mostly said the same thing. good luck with the training, it will be damn fun i reckon. the only reason im panicing is coz i want this position so bad. i dont think i have ever wanted to do anything so bad hahahahaha.

I was exactly the same. I couldnt see myself doing anything else. It was a dream of mine for a long time but i was also preparing myself for the dreaded rejection. I think if it is what you really want, you will just keep going till you get it. It was my first application and i was sooooooo happy when i found out i got the job. The week waiting to find out was the longest week of my life!:ugh: Bu the big envelope waiting on the doorstop was the best feeling ever!!:O I really wish you and everyone else the best of luck and maybe see you up above the clouds soon. The interview is not as bad as you think it will be. The Virgin staff are very friendly and smiley and want to relax you to see you at your best, so dont worry and just enjoy yourself and the fantastic experience you are about to have. Big Tip: Smile until your cheeks hurt!! :O :O x

hi there,i have an interview in 2wks and i am so unbelievably nervous!!! any tips would be great to get me through and any tips on the maths test cos im so bad at maths would be wicked.thanku in advance x

p.s highbird let us no when you hear from them, i bet you are nervous?

Had my interview today!
 

Hey guys!

Just thought I'd let you know I had my interview today.. there were 11 of us and then ended up 8 of us having the 2:1..

Very nervewracking!.. Good luck to everyone who's waiting for the letter.. I'm hoping its the big one for me this time..!! :O :O :ok:

well done honey for getting through that far, im so so so hoping i can make it to that stage. what do you think you did in the group stage that helped you to get through?

if there is anyone on here at all that has their interview friday the 13th then let me no and maybe we can meet up. also i did a dummy run to the interview location the other day so if anyone needs to no how to get there then cntact me asap and ill help you out.

Yes id say a suit would be good i wore a black and white dogtooth jacket and skirt suit with a fitted black jumper under, it was very smart and i felt comfortable which is the main thing as the interview could go on for a few hours as mine did! I Wore a pair of black heels which were also comfortable and tied my hair back (i have long blonde hair) if i had worn it down it would of distracted me.

As for the Maths test I would recommend trying to answer all the questions because you dont have that much time, its no good strugling on one question when you may find some of the others eaisier, just read them properly take a deep breath and answer, and if you cant answer move on to the next one and go back to it later. Well this is what i did and feel it helped.

And yes I am totally pooping myself now waiting for a letter or even a phone call :uhoh: but whatever the outcome im just glad ive been able to experience the interview process as i know quite a few people that have been unable to even get to that stage! Hope this helped but again if there is anything else just ask:O

Math Questions For Virgin Atlantic..
 

Hi Guys:}
Hope you all are well. I was wondering if anybody can help me with a Couple questions. I had a virgin interview last month, unfortunatly was not a success, due to failing the math test.It is quite embarrasing. I really crumble when it comes to math and no matter how simple, it takes me a while! Altho I cashed up every night in my previous Job. Does anyone remember any of the exact questions? I want to practice, but you can't really get a book on time differences, or currency etc. It is always a tricky question, where you have to think, and with 4 mins to do a test of 10 questions! Has any1 been to the interview twice and found the questions are the same. I really want to work for Virgin, and want to re-apply, but this Math thing is letting me down.
Final question, what is Virgin like to work for as a company, are they good to their staff in how they treat them, and if you make mistakes, are they understanding..

Thankyou all x

Hey Tonix2003, i have my interview on fri 13th, I haven't driven there, but I'm driving down tonight and staying over at the travel inn, so I will try and find it tonight. If you want, we could meet up before the interview in the morning and walk over together? Then we can be nervous and jittery together!! Let me know.

Wow good luck you guys with the interviews tomorrow, i feel excited and nervous for you!!! i bet the butterflies have butterflies today.

I havent applied yet, need to loose a lot of weight, finish a college course (not relevant to CC!) and improve swimming first, but lets hope we all meet up inthe sky one day!

Make sure you let us all know what you wear, how the exams are and all the juicy details!

Good luck x :ok:

i am absolutley crapping my pants hahaha. sorry for the expression. ill give you all the goss. i already no what im wearing. a grey pinstripe suit with a white shirt. black shoes and a black bag etc. i didnt think white should would look nice hahahaha.

well i had the interview, how nerve wracking was that aswell? i was lead to believe they sent you home if you dont pass the exams but they dont. im 100% sure i didnt pass the exams yet i still had the 2 on 1 interview. was a great experience though.

Well done tonix!:D

You must have passed the exams - as some people got sent home for not passing them on Wed - how many of you were there?

Congrats on the 2:1 - best of luck!.. Still no word yet here..!
