Hi Robsta and Ex Cabin Crew

Good luck on your interview days, they try and make you as relaxed as possile!

I found out in 24 hours of my interview, just waiting to start my training course on the 26th March!

I've just left a BA franchise partner to go to Virgin :)

Hi bcf&gloves!

Thanks for the reply..

So the reading out loud bit, just making sure you speak clearly, talk and look at the group etc ?

ohh, so i actually have to go into the terminal and their check in bit do i?? i thought concorde house was like on gatwick site but a building outside or somethin??

was there a lot of people in your group?

any1 at all got their interview on the 26th ???:O

Pre Course E-Learning
 

Hi guys

I'm due to start with VS on 26th March. I haven't received any pre-course information or the passwords for the e-learning. Is anyone else in the same position or have people been receiving this already?

Cheers

JP:)

Hi Janet,

I start on the same date, and not received anything yet with passwords etc.

Should recieve them in the next few days!

Look forward to meeting you on 26th!

crikey sounds like this course is gonna be huuuuuuuuuge:}

Hi Lisa

The reading is a piece of cake, and like you said remember to think about your pace, pictch and tone!

You may not have to go into the terminal but I parked in the short stay car park as I had to drive down from Birmingham.

There where only 8 of us on the day, but I think that have upto 12, so not to many!

If you need to know anything else let me know and i will try to help!

Ian

Hi Has anyone got a number to contact Virgin recruitment or an email address as I now need to cancel my assessment day?

Many thanks

Hi JP,

Congratulations! :O Good to have you with us...you're right, sounds like there are tons of us!! None of us have had anything through for the e-learning, so don't worry :ok: See ya down there!

Jill x

woooooooooo!!!!!
 

CONGRATS JP!!!!

Im also on the course on the 26th (course 605, cos there are two course 605/606). Iv only just got my course material through the post so dont worry, It'll come!

Cant wait to meet you guys and gals on 605! xxxxxxxxxxxxx:8

I'm on 605 too!!

Yay got my course stuff this morning

I'm on 605


JP

You'll all be happy to hear I'm on 605 too, hee hee hee :E

hi good luck to all of you on 605!
it helps if you try and do the pre course stuff in order, they don't tell you the order so have a read of the cd rom first then do the induction and finally attck the pre course e learning! i really enjoyed all mine it's really got me excited i'm on 603 so i will look forward to seeing you all there! anyone on my corse see ya on Monday!!:D

Im a 605!!
 

I haven't had my e-learning pack through, but everyone else has!!! Should I be panicking??? I start on the 26th, so if it doesn't arrive tomorrow, should I contact Virgin? Arrghhh!!! :uhoh:

Jill x

Hey Virgin-girlie,

I haven't received mine yet either! Perhaps that means we are 606?! Who know's!!

Think I'll wait till tuesday and if I still not received anything will call them!

Elearning!
 

Hi Ian -

Hehe I'm on the other site too (cabincrew.com), so I'm relieved to have someone in the same boat! :) Definitely think Tuesday should be the latest to leave it.

Hiya Jenn! :p If it's alphabetical, that could make sense, cos I'm a "T" :ok: so hopefully that means I shouldn't worry! Otherwise Ian you could be right - maybe we are in 606!

I really must learn to be more patient, haha. :}

Jill x

Well if they are doing it in alphabetical order i'm a "C" so ooops!

Oh well patience is a virtue! LOL

Hey guys! Been a while since ive been on here! Hope ur all fab! Looks like you are all on course 605 - this makes me upset as im a 606! Is anyone else? Oh and also, i have a macbook and am having a little bit of trouble with the e-learning pages - i dont get a scroll bar :bored: anyone else having the same issue? Dont know what im going to do if its not going to work on my mac :*

Ahhh im getting all panicky that im forgetting to do stuff! lol x

606 here! I didn't get a CD-ROM cos they're short on them, so I got a manual instead, which is quite cool actually, I hate studying from CD's!!! :} Ahhh so much to do in the next 5 days, arghh!! :uhoh:

Jill x

I have got an interview with virgin on the 17th of april! so excited but real nervous too!!!!Anyone else got an interview on this day?

Interview!
 

Anyone at all got their interview on March 26th ??? anyone at all???

Hi Lisa,

Looks like your on your own! Should make the group exercise interesting LOL!

I am sure there will be a few more poeple on the day with you! Have you logged onto cabincrew.com there may be some people on there!

Hiya bcf&gloves!!

Thanks for the cabincrew.com tip, I still cant find anyone thow lol.. i hope it is just me to be honest no competetion lol

Oh - I found a question by 'goldtap' on cabincrew.com saying she got asked
'what does the virgin brand mean and what is it' ? or something !

Eeeek !! Im not really sure I understand that question could you help me at all?

Thanks hun xx

Hey loopeylisa,

The name "Virgin" is the brand, i.e Virgin Atlantic, Virgin Media, Virgin Cola, Virgin Megastores etc...

Hope this helps,

Pam XXX

Hi thanks Pam !!

Thats cool thought it would something a bit more complex than that lol !

Do u work for virgin or have an interview coming up or anything?

Hi Lisa

As EK has said the brand is Virgin. However I think they want to know what you think of virgin. They asked me a similar question, and I just explained what I thought of Virgin, such as innovative, fun etc. If you look on the website there are a lot of pointers you could use too!

If you need anything else let me know!

Ian

Hey Lisa,

I start training with them next Monday, 26th. Like bcf&gloves said, just do your homework and read over their website. Everything they are looking for is on there. Oh, and have some great examples of customer service experience too :ok: .

Pam XXX

Hey everyone

Hope your all having loads of luck with the interviews and training

To Lisa

Hello chic your not alone, i'm joining you on March the 26th and I'm absolutly nervous as hell i'm excited but want this job so bad!!

Totally agree worried about not being able to find it, being late, that god dam maths test.... thought about going down before but then decided i was being a tad neurotic!

How are you?

Mel xx

Hey guy's

Just wanted to say don't stress about the maths test is really is easy, all simple addition and subtraction. There are only 9 questions and you get 9 mins to complete the test! Trust me it really is easy!

Concorde House is really easy to find, if you get really lost to go to the South Terminal, head over to the Virgin check-in area, and you will see a sign saying Concorde House, go through the doors and down the stairs and Concorde House is in front of you. As you go into the building there is a coffee shop on your right, use the lifts just passed the coffee shop, think it's either the 2nd or 3rd floor!

Good luck I am sure you will be fine, keep us posted!

BCF

PS I think I'm experiencing the same feelings as you guys, as I start my training on the same day!

Mel !!!

YES!! Someone else ! haha, thought I was going alone then

Why dont u stay night before? I am! wanna be fresh etc for the morning.. Im staying at the Travel Lodge.. it was £26 !

We should meet up before the interview if u like? two heads are better than one finding this place lol... x

Thanks Ian you've been a gem so far ;-)

I will def be researching their site too... arrghh I need more time to prepare ! lol

I know Im going to go bright red the whole time as ill be so nervous - ha - least ill match virgin colours !

But I guess what's meant to be will be at the end of the day....x

Hey Lisa!!!

Ahhh I'm well happy that your going as well, I'd love to hook up before
and if we can have a cuppa and get ourself chilled and ready to face anything!

Brilliant!

i'll mail you or mail me in a bit so we can swap details and chat a bit
thats a right bargain £26 for a room, i'll look into it, its not too much of a panic as I live in London but still... could save getting up at 5!

yes!! speak soon
xx

Hello

BCF thanks for the directions and advise on the maths test...
thats cool
Congratulations on getting the job, you must be so excited soon you'll be
jetting off everywhere!!

I love this site its really good to hear people getting the jobs it shows that its possible, i had an interview with Virgin last year and unfortunatly i didn't get it so really trying hard this time!!

Does it help if you have Cabin crew experience? - i don't but was wondering if many of you guys do?

xxx

I sent u an email Mel, but no idea if it sent...it didnt say! :-(

Enough!!!
 

Hi Ian, congratulatiions on getting Virgin. Not sure if your the same Ian Im thinking of, but I do know of one starting on the 26th March with Virgin. Did you start the BA franchise on the 22/05/06? If so I was on your course.


Ciao

Application rejected
 

I have tried to apply for Virgin sine last year and keep getting rejected:* Can someone tell me what am I doing wrong. Is it to do with their application questions coz I took ages trying to make it look good!!!! Am sooooo tired of applying again and again!!!!!!!!!!But would love to join the 'Virgin' group one day.

Virgin flair
 

I am quiet new. I have applied almost 3 times and keep getting the same reply. In fact, I sent an email asking why my application was rejected. Still waiting for an answer. I think I did fairly alrite in the Virgin flair-Customer Service experience questions. This is eating my head up!!! Any suggestions for me
