Hey toni!!!, it's J (-: , i used to worry about hair colour too, i was even tempted to die my hair blonde! But wont again, as my hair used to be alot thicker, i dyed it blonde b4. I am glad virgin have changed and are more fairer now. I heard b4, as i knew someone who went for the interview, when she got to the 2-2-1, they did not even give her a chance to speak and told her she hadn't got it. Luv ya

Hi airhostessdream

I applied and my application wasn't even successful (don't know why:confused: ) so I've sent off for another to reapply. I guess if you get to interview and they tell you that then same applies to me. I had a look over my old app. and guess I could of gone into more detail about experience so I'll do that this time as soon as it arrives and hope to be flying with you soon.:)

Pay
 
Can anyone working for VS let me know an approximately monthly pay?

I know you get basic, trip pay and allowances but how much will I be taking home?

Also, are allowances (given at hotel downroute) taxed?

Cheers

Lol i have worked for Virgin for what seems like an age (and is!) and i can tell you now that they don't give a toss about what colour your hair is, or what ethniticity you are.

I'm brunette and have never heard such rubbish about VS only hiring blondes - Yes maybe Richard prefers the fair hair girls but then again, so do a lot of men.

If you are genuinely worried about Virgin not hiring you because of your hair colour/skin colour/inside leg measurement then maybe you don't understand what the company is about and it's not for you.

Hi, A quick question from Air Traffic :confused:

I'm down to fly on a fam flight shortly with Virgin (anywhere except the US) and was wondering where the best place for night stops are likely to be as I go out with the crew and back with the same one.

I was thinking about Havana or Capetown, do you get a couple of nights there? Any other suggestions to maximise my time away from work? Shallow and idle aren't I:ok:

Cheers

Hey Candi Heart how was your interview?

What did you have to do?
What sorts of questions did you get?:ok:

Emmy Lou 9th Nov 2006 12:54

In-flight beauty therapist
 
Can anyone help me on the following?
I applied for a position as In-flight Beauty Therapist about 5 years ago and completed the full day of interview but did not get offered the job. I have now been in the beauty industry for a decade and am 27 years old and married-would this affect how they would view me as a candidate?
Also I have a mortgage! Boo hoo! So I must be earning a good salary! What is the final take home pay and perks for this position as this will affect whether I apply again!

A new virgin girly!!
 
Just thought I would let you know I got the job :Dwith virgin start my training in january soo excited! thanks for everyone's help it really gave me an insight on the day.:ok:
Some advice if anyone has an interveiw soon, just be your self, relax, smile and have fun. P.S dont worry about the test's, I did well at the english but struggled with the maths's and diddn't do that well but I still got the job. Also if anyone is dyslexic like me dont be afraid to tell them, they dont look on it as a disadvantage.

Good luck and thank you again

Candi x :O

That's fantastic news C H. I've been following your posts and i'm really glad you got the job. It's gratifying to know that we don't work for a company backward enough to reject someone for something as minor as being dyslexic.
I really stuffed up one of our selection tests when i joined but it didn't seem to matter. Must've been my winning smile and shiny shoes!

Welcome to Virgin!
