Without "may"... :}

;) Havn't you heard anything today?

No.. :{ why are you asking so? It looks like you know something...:confused:
Am I supposed to get a phone call today? Do you know anything about it???!?:ugh: :confused:
Oh perhaps it was only a simple question.. for a while I thought you might know something, sorry:(

I am about to send my application, so...it would be strange to know the outcome of your interview lol
Come on, it's almost obvious that you got the job, they must be very busy.
:D

eheheh that's true LOOOL:}
I know they may be busy but waiting is hard to handle :(
Everyone I talk with is almost sure I'll get it but what I need is a phone call and I'm going to be nervous and worried day by day:{ :}
When are you going to apply?
Best of luck, cheers:ok:

Hello everyone,

my name is Francesco and i just joined this forum. I read all the thread and i found this site very interesting for people who want to persue a carear in aviation. It's full of useful tips!! I got a small question and i hope you can help me.
Basically i applied for Easyjet about three weeks ago by submitting the online apllication form but i still have not received any kind of response fron them:{ Is that normal? On their website, it says that you should be emailed with the outcome within 14 days ... i'm getting a bit concerned
:rolleyes:

Thanks

Francesco x

Hi Francesco, have you been automatically emailed by easyJet?
Something like: 'Thank you for your application to easyJet for the position of Cabin Crew, which we have successfully received.Applications will be reviewed as soon as possible and we will contact you via email with the outcome of your application.'
If you got it then you just have to wait. It can take up to 15 days too and in some cases I know people has been waiting for over a month.
On the other hand they normally email back quickly in case of an unsuccessfull application. Hope it helps.
Regards

14th day of waiting and no phone call yet... even if I wasn't emailed with a rejection I really start to think something happened with my application.. I really don't know why they need so much time to inform whether I'm successfull or not.
I start to think I had to be emailed about a rejection but they forgot to do it.. as it's impossible not to get neither e mail nor a phone call unless they didn't change style as they now use to give no feedback in case of a rejection.... Hm? ?
Any chance they lost my file? Any chance they forgot? Should I call them? Will they mind it?

Sorry for bothering, any suggestion is helpful, tnx.
Regards

Just call them, you won't loose nothing if you call them. It's better than to be waiting for an answer. If you keep waiting you'll have a heart attack.:}
All the luck for you.


Cheers

Hi "The answer"

thanks for your reply. Yes, i got the email where they say that my application was successfully received.... . I hope they will get back to you very soon, i can undestand you as waiting it's really hard to cope with:bored: :bored: i wish you the best of luck!!:ok:

Ciccio78:

If you got the mail, cool! nothing is wrong with that. u just have to wait it out ;)
good luck!

I know this is a lOOONNG one.. But there was just so much to comment on.


I have wondered for a long time.
What it is that the people in recuitment are looking for?

I do understand some peoples fustrations with eazy.
But people I know that work for ezy are fare form as "Orange" as some here would like "ezy-newbies" to think. And I'm not talking about people that have been with ezy for less then 2-3 years.

Ezy is like anyother airline, it has its problems internally.
There is some benefits to the way ezy runs... but it is far from some of the ones you will get with a major airline.
And now I'm thinking of the ones that the staff get. (cabin crew)
one good thing is that if you are based at some of the non-UK bases then you get to come home evey night + other things.

I would like to say that I did apply twice to ezy but only because I wanted to get a job were I could be at the same place as my boyfriend and make a little pocket money.

The first time I wasen't upset about getting turned down. I was still studying.

The second time I must say was the worst or should I say the most weird assesmentday I have ever been too. It was like every one was compeeding with eachother and I'm sorry to say this, but there was some people that shoulden't have left school.( level of normal knowlege should be more then how to put on great make-up and sound like a total airhead)

I found it absolutly disgusting that an airline as ezy has the nerv to claime that they invented the questions that you have to fill out to get to the assesmentday.. No really people! :ugh:

Now let me see.. ezy has ONLY ben around for 11 years later in september this year. Hmm.. There is airlines out there that has been recuiting lets say at least the last 60 some years!! So really they should remove that from the internet.

I have worked for a premium european airline and seen those questions before ezy started recruting!

Well back to my second time around. I didn't get a date until about two weeks before the day the actual assesment.
I also had another interview with another BIG premium Airline for the following day. So I thought well if I get yes from both I will say sorry to ezy and yes to the other.
If ezy had said yes and I got no from the other airline well.. then I would have gone for it.

I have only to say that I got no from ezy and I was actually reliefed.
My friend said "well at least now one of us get to work for at real airline." ( the last part was partly a joke):}

The assesmentday is not very friendly at ezy compaired to other airlines so do not be discouraged.:{

The other airline that I now work for. Have had about 7000 called in for an assesment day but only about 70 got through to be pick for a course.
This means that there was more then 10000 who applied.

There has been som writing that ezy has enough people .. From the ones I talk to they have never enough people!

ezy will most likely keep recruiting for the next LONG time. ( next many years)
Today they have just opened their Base in Madrid.

There is a continues stream of people leaving ezy to go to other airlines. With just these two things. The constant growth and people leaving they will keep recuiting.

So for those of you who still wants to pursue a job with ezy should keep trying.

But then again don't put all your egg's in one basket because there is ALOT of airlines out there recuiting right now.

And if you are lucky you will end up at were I am and have some of the best colleuges you could dream of.

I am very proud of where I work today and I know that I was picked for more then my skills to follow orders. This is were I think ezy don't look when they evaluate. They seam to want people that have the least leader skills.
This has been confirmed from other people that work at ezy and from when I have flown with them. ( I'm sorry if I offend enyone)

I will say that my first flight with ezy left me feeling horrified that these people were respondsible for my life in case of anemergency.

They were very unprofesional when demonstrating the safety equipment and had a wierd way of making the PA "personalised" All in all it seamed so unprofessional. Another time the FA's were arguing infront of the pax.

But the last few times I have flown the FA's onboard have been profesional.

It can't be easy to work in a company were you work 6 days and only get 3 days of. And in those 6 days you can have several very long days...

I guess that when the company doesn't spend money on a psychological profile then there will be "those" that the company could have done with out.

When you fly you have so much more to do then "just" sell food ( ezy) / serve food ( premium Airlines) and announce stuff over the PA. For those that have flown before they will know what I mean.

Don't take the rejections personally.
I took it as, If they didn't like me at the interview then.. I wont like working there.

Just a final thing. I don't have anything against anyone that works or is some how associated with ezy.

I hope that for those of you who got no from ezy will try other places.. It is a big world out there and there is sooooo many airlines.
You might have more of a service skill to you that can be put to better use other places. Like serving champagne on first class to Ellen Macpherson or other famous people that do not travel with LCC because they like their privacy.


Have fun out there.:) Fly high!

Weel... consider that I've just been rejected by ezy after the interview.. I'm wondering why you felt the need to post such a long negative brief about ezy. Which is going to be the main aim?
Regards

Hi the answer,

did you try to call them? Why do you consider yourself to be unsuccesfull?

Anyway, do not lose your hope untill you get that blady phone call.:ok:

I called them and asked. 20 mins later I've been emailed. Rejected. Dunno know why as the do not provide any feedback.

OMG thats hard !!!!!!!!! im so sorry!!!!!!! :bored:

no harm going to the interview. to be honest if you get it with EZY, it might save you a lot of money having to pay for your training and uniform with ryanair. just a thought.

Yes justlikeme it's a bit hard but life goes on no one died :}
I don't know whether I'll try it again, I'll see...
Anyway 6 months for re-applying are calculated on which date? Starting from the date I submitted my application online?.. or The day I got the outcome (yesterday)? Ora what else? Does anyone know it?

theAnswer:
u know what? ive tried it more than 1x!!!! and trust me i was in the same situation! i was disapointed and had no clue if i will try it again some time... but i did! and yea, its cool that i did ;)

I pm'd you :D

What is the assessment like, what kind of things do they ask you to do, any maths? My maths isn't that good to be honest.

Anything i should watch out for?

Cheers.

Hi

You will need to brush up on currency conversions, and general sums etc.
The Maths and English tests are quite soon into the assesment day. So long as your prepared its not rocket science. Calculaters are provided. We lost around 9 people due to their lack of ability on my assesment day.

Good Luck :)

Currency convertions, how the heck do you perform them? lol

What kind of maths is it, basic adding etc?

help!help!

........

I suggest to read carefully information on their website

next easyJet assessment day
 

Hello everyone,

Some friends of mine and members of my family said I would make a good cabin crew. As a reply, I filled the online application form. Nobody believed I did send it. But I was very proud to show change my email from easyJet recently. Indeed, I am invited to attend an assessment day at Luton in the end of February. So what's next ? I don't know.

I found this forum and noticed people are rather nice. A lot of questions came in mind since I got this invitation.

First : find a round-trip flight to Luton for the recruitment day.

Second : find a hotel for the night before.

Third : how will I get dressed ? Any suggestions ?

Fourth : Are they going to eat me ? Or just ask me questions ? What kind of questions ? Is my English good enough (I am not very confident with that) ? Will I be tortured ? I am not really used to attending assessments. Is there a link between the work location I wish and their need ? Are there many French speaking cabin crews ? Will anybody here be invited at the same place the same day (wednesday 28th - then please email me) ? Shall I know the easyJet website by heart ?

Fifth : Can someone help me for my questions ?

Thank you in advance and please, keep going on with your enthusiasm.

Sebastian.

Well, let's see if I can help.

As soon as you arrive to EZY academy you register at the reception then wait a bit for someone to call the group. Don't mind if you're nervous, remmenber the other people that are with you in the room are nervous too. But try to relax, they won't eat you, they're friendly. But first thing to have in mind: be punctual!

Then all the group is taken to the first floor and wait at the corridor. 2 each time are called to check some details, passport, etc. Then you go to another room to fill a simple form. Think about 3 reasons why you want to work for EZY. And try also to break the ice, because all the group will be seated in a meeting table.

And so the real assessment starts. All of you go to another room, with tables placed in U form. Some presentations are made, of the recruiters and the company.

First test: maths. Increadibly easy, nothing to worry about. You have 10 minutes. A dozen questions and you have a price list and a currency conversion list (Euros, Pounds, Swiss Francs and Danish Krones). Multiple choice questions. They provide a calculator so it's impossible to miss. Try to concentrate.

Second test: english. No so easy, it's a bit tricky, but the only thing you need is real attention. Multiple choice with True, False, No info on text. Some texts and 4/5 question for each text. Concentrate.

Then you go for a break and the first people say goodbye.

Second stage: group test.

They divide you in groups and then give to each group a laminated card with some info. It's a streat with 5 houses, and each house have a particular colour, each owner have a particular job and pet. The group must find who has the fish. (the german has it)

Second test is the old sinking boat (that never goes down:} ). Change of groups and again a laminated card. And each member is given a small laminated card with a thing that you must take to the island and have to convince the others that that thing must go with the group. I Was the alcoholic. How the hell they founded?:cool:

Another break and then all people return to the room. Then they say that will split the group. They say some names and ask to take all personal belongings. It's the same as to say bye bye. You go to another room and they say you don't have the neccessary competencies.

The third stage is the 2-2-1 interview. I don't know nothing about that because I don't have the neccessary competencies to work in orange. Probably that's why Air Transat invited me to work with them. Probably I'm too good.

Advices: be relaxed, they're nice and most important, just be yourself, don't need to act. If you have any question just speak with one of the recruiters, they're really nice. Abouth dressing code: simple. For a boy even jeans are good, a shirt and a jacket. For girls, even trousers aren't problematic. Just dress comfortably.

About travel and accomodation look at the internet, London have too many choices, you have to look according with your preferences. To Luton there are many transportation in case you're accomodation is not there.


Cheers

Hi "c ouame"

could you please tell me how long did it take to receive an email from Easyjet with the oucome of your application?


I sent my application 23 days ago.... still non response :(


Thanks

ok guys, just to say something important here!!

I am a recruiter for Easyjet, the following should be very seriously considered by anyone attending an assesment day for us:

IF YOU WEAR JEANS OR TRAINERS TO THE ASSESMENT DAY YOU WILL BE MARKED DOWN!!!:\

Just because easyjet is a low cost operation doesn't mean we dont like poeple to look smart we are getting a new uniform which will require you to wear suits therefore our uniform standards are going to get a little more strict! ties are optional but please for your own sake no jeans or trainers and another gripe while i'm on here no chewing gum we really hate that!!!

the answers to the group exercises are irrelevent as it's the team work we want to see!

We don't "eat" anyone and you will enjoy your day with us, we do try to make it fun! sorry if i sound a little harsh but i hate to see really goo people not get offered a job, because they are dressed too casual, sends out the wrong message, and never forget that although we want you to relax it is still a bussiness meeting!!!! there enough of the moaning!! good luck all who have interview days, see you there!:ok:

Thank you for your help
 

Thank you CS-TNP for all the information you gave. :)
I feel a little bit better thanks to you. At least, they won't torture me !:=

Is the EZY building easy to find ? I booked a room in a hotel in Luton. As Paris is a quite big city, I compared the distances between the airport and the hotel with Google-Earth. I don't think I will be late at all. The hotel is less than 2 miles from the airport. It is approximately the distance I walk every morning to go to work. I understood I should keep being myself despite I would be nervous. I'll try to get comfortably dressed and will go to bed early the night before.:zzz:

Ciccio78, I sent my application on Feb. 3rd, and they automatically replied a confirmation email of registration the same day. Afterwards, the recruitment team give themselves 14 days to reply (sic : 'We try and acknowledge all applications within fourteen days of receipt.'). I was given an invitation on an assessment day on Feb. 14th. Hence, it took them exactly 11 days. I don't want to be pessimistic but I believe they mean what they say. 14 days is 14 days. I'm afraid one week of delay doesn't seem to be a good presage for you. But who knows ? Maybe they had a lot of candidatures those last days and they are a bit late, AND/OR their software for recruitment is not working well. Keep confident. A lot of people who wanted to work in orange finally do the same job dressed in another colour.

By the way, I'm opened to meet people in Luton or in London the day before (Feb. 27th). Especially if they do or will work for easyJet, or if they are invited, like me, on the 28th. You may email me.

Cheers and thank you again for your help and support.

Sebastian.;)

Thank you everyone
 

Thank you to everyone for your pieces of advice and all the information you give.

I understood : be myself, that is to say, be a team player. No trainers but street shoes. No jeans but trousers. Tie is not necessary. No chewing gum. Ok, that's all me ! So I shouldn't be worried out of that.

To answer to Ciccio78, I had a invitation 11 days after I sent my application form.

Thank you for your help and your support. I'll have to manage with it anyway.

ciccio78 what base did you apply for?

Hi "johnezy"

i applied for London Gatwick...

do u know why that take so long?

Thanks:)

yeah i think so, we are very short of full time recruiters, (these are the one who dont wear uniform for those of you who have been to an assessment day!) they process all the applications and acually do the assessment days with us, they also deal with all the pilots! so they are busy people and at the moment they are really busy! if you think your application has been in for a while and you haven't heard back then phone or email them it wont hurt to ask how it's going! good luck :ok:

Hi c-ouame, just take a deep look in what johnezy wrote, the secret is there. About the group exercises talk normally and let the others talk, present your ideas and listen to others ideas, and is you don't agree say you don't agree in a polite way. The recruiters put us all so comfortably that I even forgot I was on an assessment.

About chewing gum I think it's relaxing too much and not very polite. About jeans, I don't think it's the end of the world, but anyway, and like johnezy said, after all it's a business meeting, so we must pay attention to what we dress. And EZY is not Lauda Air, for anyone who remmember their uniform.


Cheers and all the luck

To Ciccio78
 

CALL THEM and ask where your application is or at least whether you've been successfully considered or not.
I believe, though they may be busy, that 23 days are quite enough time.
I got an invitation after 6 working days I had submitted.
Best of luck

I was unable to make the one on the 15th due to circumstances but easyjet are kindly letting me pick a date for my next one.

easyJet is a good airline to get some experience, that's what most people see it as.

I'm not planning on staying long! :}
