hi please call the recruitment team at Luton om 01582 525850. They are at Luton not gatwick and sometimes applications get put on hold if you apply for a base that we are not recruiting at what base did you go for and did you put a correct e mail address?

Dolly: the uniform was voted for by crew did you vote? were you at easyjet when this happened? alot of people voted by looking at the pictures on inside, instead of making the effort to go and see the uniform up close with the designers and ask questions. Personally i wanted the other uniform with the orange shirts and no tie, with that one you girlies (with your massive tatoo's on your legs!) would have got a chioce of trousers and skirts, but everyone was too keen to get voting and now loads of people are regretting being so hastey!

Who needs to know what about Orly?

Hi johnezy,

thanks for your reply. I appllied for London Gatwick, on their website they say they are recruiting at present. I think i put the right email as i received the automated message. Anyway i'll try to give them a call.:ugh:

yeah make sure you do we are still recruiting for gatwick so you shouldn't have had to wait this long. I'm really sorry to hear that they haven't replied to you.

John:

Yes, I voted and I voted for the third option, the mix and match of both designs.

To be quite honest I thought the whole thing was a bit of a joke. But nevermind.

I just don't see how easyjet can get rid of the trousers with girls who are actually not allowed to wear skirts by the company at the moment. What is easyjet going to do about cases like this? Seriously, any idea?

I know they are talking about leaving the ties for the guys optional at the moment so there is obviously still some room for changes.

However, about being not well informed...unfortunately I didn't have a chance to see the designs when they were introduced at our base, the photos (the ones that were supposed to help us vote) weren't very obvious only showing upper body pictures which I thought was a bit silly but there you go. But the actual design drawing for the wining uniform design shows trousers for the ladies. Go figure!

The winning uniform design has a choice of trousers or skirts for the girls, i went to the roadshow and that was one of the many questions asked!
Also in the pics the girl is actually wearing trousers.

Dear JOHNEZY,
#here-s Parisienne, I d like to know the following about Orly>

- Average roster ( i suppose that having only 11 destinations we might have at least one standby a week, which maybe is not good for the money)
- Cost of accomodation, how easy/difficult it is to find a nice room with wi-fi connection ( cost of bills, transport)
- which is the area nearest to Orly/ the area where cabin crew usually stay
-what s the atmosphere like
= how many cabin crew are based there
-do you get overnights
- Is there a bus for easyjet staff?
- do you work at CDG as well as at Orly

Any help would be greatly appreciated :D

I Got The Job
 

Hi everyone,

everything is in the title. What should I add more ?:)
I am very very very happy. The bottle of champagne has been opened and I celebrated this event with my friends. I also had a little thought for you. I would like to thank all of you for the information I could get from here.:}

hi c-ouame well done to you i hope you enjoy your course

OK Orly- well i am not based there so i have limited info for you perhaps there is a crew member on here from Orly that could help? But this is what i do know transport to the airport is up to you, i'm sure there are discount available for crew. you would only work out of Orly not CDG, that isn't one of our bases, and for the route please see our website, Orly is always getting more routes so i'm sure there will be more expansion of the base but at the moment it isn't a big base. This is sometimes better as you make closer friends with the crew that you fly with. As far as i know Orly don't have night stops but i'm not sure all i know that the norm for the airline is that we don't do night stops. You wouldn't really get a week of standbys, there maybe just 11 destinations but as i said it's a small base so you would be flying those destinations regulary. Hope this helps
john

congratulations ouame, thanx john
 

HI Ouame,
I wondered whether you applied for the ORLY BASE... If so, maybe you got some information regarding the base.. @I guess you are french native speaker... do you know if the others got tested on the language on the same day of the assessment?
cheers,
all the best for your ezy career..

thanx john for your help :D

Tomorrow...
 

... is the big day! I have to drive down to Braintree tonight, so have plenty of time to start worrying again. My friend has just found out she has got on a cruise ship for the summer, so hopefully I will get equally good news!

I'm still concerned about the 'look at our website' for the interview comments though, as I haven't had much time this week to take a proper look and I have no internet access from today! :ugh:

Also, I'm allowing an hour and a half to get from Braintree, but forgot about the roadworks on perceival way. Am I going to need to make it 2 hours travel time?!

Good luck to everyone else!x

psychopathbabble

Yeah may be worth giving 2 hours, there are also road works on M1 if your coming that way. And if you are early at the academy there is a canteen with vending machines you can use.

Good Luck

To Johnezy
 

Hi John

I have had roster changers for next week.
Looking at the company email we are recruiting together on
14th - 15th and 16th next week.
Look forword to it, see you then :cool:

psychopathbabble

How did it go?

Not a wannabe anymore
 

Hello there! I am new to this forum and am not a wannabe any more! I got a post with easyJet (the best company in the whole world). I am starting my training course on 19 March. :)

Anyone around doing the course with me at Luton? I am going to be based at LGW.

Phew... it's over!
 

Hi Guys,

Well I made it through the whole day so now i just have to wait and see. It took me a while to think of some stuff in the interview but hopefully it was still ok. I left at 6.10 and got there at 8.05 after a couple of wrong turns ;)

There was someone called John there briefly, was that you??

I'm not going to worry too much until I know if I am being offered a job but it will involve moving as Im in north Suffolk and I would need to be at least in Ipswich, so I have some decisions to make :-)

I'll let you know as soon as I do what's going on! :ok:

Thanks again for your help and advice!

try Fly Globespan. find out the recruitment days and go.
chin up :)

Recruitment team
 

Hi,

is there anychance one of you guys on the recruitment team can let me know what it involves (being on the recruitment team that is)? We got an email saying they were recruiting and to apply stating why we would suit the job.

I emailed back asking for more infomation on what it would involve (the email said very little). The response was to apply, then if I got the job and it wasn't what I wanted I could turn it down. Seems a bit silly to me. Does anyone know what it involves? I'm not comfortable applying for a job if I don't know what it is, more to the point, how can I say how I would be suited to it?

Help

EzyChic

That didn't make much sense when I read it back, let me know if you don't get it.

Hello Parisienne
 

I was a busy those last days so I couldn't reply sooner.

No, I haven't been tested in French. It might be because it is my mother tongue. As far as I've understood, there is a language test if you declare you speak fluently a language other than your mother tongue and English. There is an English test during the assessment day for it is a requirement.

easyJet recruiters also told us they wouldn't base us in a place we don't speak the language - As they aknowledge you speak that language if you are succefull to the test language.

For your Orly questions, I am not sure I can help you.

Have a nice day.

C_ouame

Is it true that candidates write the language test (different than english) after the training? Even if it's a language of their base?

hi everyone sorry not been on in a while, been busy as im heading off to pastures new!
right well lets see, where to start?
i am the only john on the recruitment team so i suppose that was me!!
if you speak a language as your mother tongue then you won't be tested on it.
hi Adam see ya on wed!

and finally the recruitment team do just about everything on the day. as a cabin crew assessor you will be required to check the candidates in, meet and greet! then you will be doing some questions and answers, after they watch a video on a day in the life of ... then there is a maths and english test to take them through and then you maybe either saying well done or having to turn people away if they have failed. after this we organise the group exercises and then again you maybe either saying well done or having to turn people away-this bit is quite hard to do and alot of people who applied for the role last time turned the job down because of this, so be prepared you will at times have to squash people dreams, (anyone reading this who has had to be turned down please note that this is as much difficult for us as it is you!). then we do a presentation on pay and contracts after this you do the interviews. So as a cabin crew assessor you will involved in every part of the day and really do have a say in who you want to work with in the future! it is fun and very rewarding but it is
also very difficult, busy and at times stressfull. but if you can give a presentation if front of up to 30 people, want the travel/night stops and are a good judge of charecter then apply!!!!:ok:

Had a nice night stop in EDI last week recruiting.

Its completely different night stopping with recruitment than as you word with crew. Not just B and B but there is also exspences for evening meals ect paid for by recruitment :D

Plus you get to know the coordinators better.

Ooooh Adam, you're desperate for me to apply, I can see it. lol

I'm still a bit weary(sp?), I love night stops, but are there lots and lots? (I have a family). Plus do I still fly? (I love flying), is the pay usual plus an office day? (you can pm me with that info).

Cheers guys

patience...
 

just to get it out of my system... i am starting to get really nervous now waiting for my phone to ring! :eek: it's killing me!

is there any sort of pattern as to when you get in touch with applicants? :ugh:

I keep thinking about it in my head and planning stuff then remembering that I'm not actually in the job yet and might not be!

JOHNEZY... good luck with the new job, i hope it goes well for you :)

EzyChic

Please see you mail box :\ ;)

You still fly full time so to speak, but you are rostered recruitment days, sometimes a couple a month other times more, for instance i have 8 in total this month.
Plus recruitment dept have the power to get your roster changed from flying to recruitment days Grrrrrrrrrrr.

Pay is fine, Basic as well as office day pay. so you dont loose money.

Go On I Know You Want To :mad:

hi easy chic, adam's right its a good side line to have and varies, depending on when they need you but generally you do about 5-10 days a month. the trips away are normally just for 2 or 3 days and are very rare as they try to spread them out a bit. You get looked after well, and fell like you're really making a difference (especially when you recruit someone for you own base!). The office day pay is very good, if you think you'ld like it apply otherwise there will be loads of peole after the posistion, there were last time. Before this year the recruitment team haven't been after anyone for the team for years, and some people have said that they waited years to apply! so it's up to you, but dont waste time thinking about it as the posistion will be filled extremely quickly, and then you may miss out!

oooh nearly forgot, pyschicobabble:
i know wait ing is the hardest part! so i really do feel for you. there is no pattern for calling applicants, sometime they do it in days and sometimes it can take a bit. Basically the team will do it as soon as they get time and have sorted out, course dates, contracts, and wheather they need to book hotel rooms. so please just try and occupy yourself! it get harder if you are successful and have to wait for your course to start! my course with VS starts on monday and i'm getting very nervous about it so today i took my mind off it and cleaned my car, i spent all day on it! and thats really something for me as the next time i clean it will probably be this time next year lol!

Woohoooo!!!

Quick question for EZY recruitment staff
 

My better half has just attended one of your recruitment days. She was not invited back for the individual interviews held during the second part of the process. Fair enough, you may think, however on posing the question of why she was not to be interviewed, she was told her standard of English was not "Up to standard".

I find this ridiculus as although she is French, her level of spoken English is on a par with mine and her written, far exceedes my own. Coupled with this she has more 3 years experiance in the job with a corporate operation and two scheduled airlines, therefore I doubt that she has any issues with "team working" having proven this by experiance.

As an occupier of the RHS I have had the "pleasure" of flying with cabin crew who`s level of English was so bad on one occasion I had to draw a picture of a bottle of water to make her understand what I was requesting.

So to the question, all you EZY recruiters. Any pointers to why she would have been rejected?

hi there sorry to hear about your wife.
ok, a few piont to consider if she passed the exams then she can certainly read and write in english good enough for us, however in the group exercises we look at some candidates and it becomes tclear that they are having trouble understanding people when they are talking or their spoken english may be a little weak. More likely in the group exercise she was a bit weak in the competencies that we look for, these are conciensous, empathy,initiative and scense of ungency, we do tell them this at the start of the day. we dont just look at team work, and just because someone has flown with another airline for years doesn't mean that they will be perfect and pocess eveything that we are looking for. Please do remember that we are not saying that your wife is not good enough for us it's just that she didn't show what we were looking for on the day. I'm sure that she would make an excellent crew member for us but she needs to show us that, wich she can, if she so wishes in 6 months time. I hope this helps you understand what we are looking for and why she may have been turned down.
Kind regards
john

Johnezy,

Many thanks for considered reply. Had a long chat with her about it last night and it seems that she was put into a group that consisted of a mainly native english speakers and it appears that she somehow left out as she was unable to keep up with the london accent!

I`ll pass on those pointers to her and keep the fingers crossed for the next time.

Thanks again.

Hi
 

Has anyone who was on the assesment day 14th March heard anything yet?? im dead Inpatient

Thanks

Jam...
 

I had my assessment day on Friday and got a call on Wednesday, another girl who went same day only heard this morning.

I know it is very very very difficult (just look at my posts above!) but the call will come and it will be unbelievable!!! :ok:

hello! to all easyjet people, wannabe's,soontobe's, and those waiting to hear!
I have just finished my last recruitment day tomorrow and apart from a homestandby will be finishing with the airline tomorrow. I am leaving to move to Virgin Atlantic, this will be very exciting and hopefully will be everything i wanted and more! My time at easyjet has been brilliant, I have made some great friends and helped to recruit some great crew. My decision to leave and go to virgin has been a hard one to make but if i didn't go for it, i would always have woundered what it would be like to work for them and to fly long haul. Maybe when i get bored with the routes and night stopping i will return to easyjet. they are a great company to work for, and really look after their crew.
So all that remains to say is Goodbye to all those who know me, and good luck to all those i have recruited or are thinking of applying.
Happy flying :ok:

jam1234

I was doing your assessment day on the 14th. Obviously I don't know who you are from your username. Please be patient with us, it has only been a few days, I am sure you will hear soon. And good luck.

the goon

Sorry to hear you partner was unsuccessful on her assessment day. I hope she can take away the feedback as constructive feedback and not as negative. As Johnesy said Don't forget we welcome people to reapply in 6 months and do like to be proven wrong. If she liked what she saw with easyjet then we will look forward to seeing her in 6 months. Good Luck

johnezy

How was today?
Well it is now all over my good friend, Going to miss recruiting with you, I feel that we both were on the same page when recruiting. And of course going to miss flying with you :(
I wish you all the best with Virgin and hope all goes well. I look forward to seeing you around and of course chin wagging on here.

joneasy
 

loved the reply to the goon,

tell me, was the bad English intentional?

Just kidding, enjoy being a Virgin.


Lovvvvvvvve yyyyyyyou

EzyChic

You applied yet?

No,

you only want me to apply so you can find out who I am!

LOL

I'm still not sure y'know.

Thinking I might not :-s

Might wait 'til it comes up again.

ezychic and adam,

That recruitment job you are talking about...how come it's not on inside?
Or am I just to blind to see?
I thought they had to post all internal job offers there to make it fair...I might be wrong...
