For those that have had their virgin interviews recently, could someone kindly tell us what kind of things were involved in the group exercises and what kinds of questions were asked in the 2:1 interviews?
Thanks :ok: :)

Virgin Atlantic Wings
 

I was wondering if anyone had any information on the wings ceremony once training is complete? I hear this is quite fun but i have no idea what exactly happens.

Hi,
I'm sure I read somewhere that you have to put on some kind of show but not 100% sure!! :uhoh:

Interview
 

Hi Helly how did it go on Friday???????? Hope it all went well for you!!
Any tips at all?? ;)

Well i can tell you what happened in my friends ceremony, but it was a year ago!!

There was some kind of show-the whole training group did a little song and dance together about virgin/their training etc (from what i recall she said it was fun, not scarey even if you arent into that kinda thing!) then all the newbies were seated in a row in front of the 'audience' and names called out to go and collect their wings/certificates one by one and have photos taken with the people handing them out (sorry dont know who they were! some kind of crew managment or something). then following this i think it was just champagne all round, lots of photos and mingling! All in all she said it was a brilliant night, she felt really proud and had a fabulous time!

like I said it was a while ago so it could have changed but not many other people have been forth coming with info so i hope this helps!

Virgins New Uniform???Vivienne Westwood???
 

Hi Everyone Just wanted to know if anyone had any info on Virgins new uniform? My friend who is currently employed with Virgin told me not to get to attatched to my uniform when i start in December as there is a new one coming out in 2007? She also told me it was going to be designed by Vivienne Westwood! With the red shoes making a come back and also hats! Sounds great to me but is this correct? id love to know if anyone has any more info??? Thanks xx:)

wouldnt that be excellent if this happened, id feel damn posh. i like the uniform anyway but a new one is always good, and vivienne westwood? who can complain??!!!1

Be afraid... be very afraid!
 

hahahahaha i change my statement to " oh dear". Maybe the uniform isnt going to be that great hahahaha.

Oh MY God Thats Awful!!! Now im praying the uniform doesnt change!!!!! Even if it means not wearing red shoes!!! :bored:

How was friday
 

Hey guys was at Marriott hotel at LHR, saw the virgin crew have there bash and saw a man wear a red dress, was that the dresscode for the guys at the party :D ;)

you guys made alot of nose, i wanted to gate crash it but := .

j

was this a wings bash do you no?

After sending off your virgin application, does anybody know how long it takes to get a reply from virgin to know if you have been offered an interview or not?

i sent my application off on the wednesday and recieved my interview date in the post on the saturday. i was lucky as they had tons of application forms at this point.

Thanks Tonix2003 and congrats!!! :) :ok:

and how long after you recieved the letter was your interview??:)

I think it was about 6 weeks or maybe a tiny bit more later that i had my interview date. Mind you i had to change it twice anyway as couldnt get the time off. It well in advance anyway.
