Hi,

it was on inside, and it was sent out in an email to all LTN crew. I don't now why it isn't now (not checked), I saw it on the old intranet.

EzyChic 16th Mar 2007 22:32

Whooops,

it's not there as the closing date for applications was the 13th March.

Dolley 16th Mar 2007 23:18

Strange, because I checked before the 13th but on the new one....hm, I was probably just blind ;-)

Nevermind, I wasn't interested, just wondering why I couldn't see it anywhere.
Sounds like you will have to wait for the next chance now though...

Ez Assesment Day/base Transfers Etc
 
Hi Guys:)
I am ez crew and for those going to the Assessment centres,dont worry!
They are all a nice bunch,and based on my previous flying experience,alot more relaxed as a whole.
The selection is quite tough,but just be yourself,seriously.
The test is currency conversions(they do give you a calculator!!),multiple choice,it is really easy!!
About half the original amount get to stay the whole day,but they all tend to get it,by way of telephone,usually within days.
If you are successful but prefer to be at a base where there not currently recruiting for,you can put in for a Transfer as soon as your Training course has finished,and priority is given internally rather than recruiting from the outside,for smaller bases be prepared to wait 2/3 months.
All training for all bases is done at Luton at the Academy,and you stay at the ibis hotel(which isnt the best,but a good laugh!)
Good luck to all those going for the interview,smile lots!!!:ok:

Hi there returningtofly!

Nice to see a new face on here, not sure who you are tho LOL.

Again as returningtofly (RTF for short if thats ok) i belive it was only email to LTN crew.
The job on inside was for Full Time Recruitment Coordinators.

Hey, not sure about where to stay but I drove down to Braintree and stayed at family members the night before, giving me just under a 2 hour drive instead of 4 and it was fine. Having left at 6.10am there was very little traffic on the road and after only 2 wrong turns, I made it to the academy at 8.10!

I am generally a highly strung person (also not good with mornings) but I didn't find the driving at that time particularly stressful and I felt fine when I got there apart from the expected interview nerves!

good luck x :ok:

JoJoTink 27th Mar 2007 09:43

Recruitment Gig
 
Hey all

I made some enquires yesterday, as I also threw my hat into the ring, and was told that the applicants had not yet been discussed with higher management. It seems the whole thing has got slightly held up.

So I guess no news is good news!! Not sure I know that much about it, as when I first registered an interest I was under the impression you may work at the accademy a couple of days a month and carry on with your flying roster as normal.

Did anyone else take it as a full time job? Not so sure I would want to do it if thats the case!!

ps Long live the new Bacon toastie from April 1st he he :)

little_miss_sunshine 30th Mar 2007 08:27

Hi all. I filled out an online application form on Tuesday and got an e-mail yesterday inviting me to an assessment day on 11 April. Is the reply from easyJet not really quick? I know I shouldn't complain though! Also does anyone have any idea if they're recruiting a few people for the Edinburgh base? This is all new to me!

Thanks!

eggorbeans 30th Mar 2007 10:55

part time
 
Hi Can any one tell me how long it would be if I worked for Easyjet before being able to go part-time at STN or LTN, please?
I really want to go back flying but due to family commitments cannot do full time. thanks

Airbourne-Adamski 30th Mar 2007 11:41

Hi Jo, If i am thinking right and looking at your name, i think I interviewed you yesterday, How did you find it?

Good luck let us know

esy 31st Mar 2007 14:47

I have just noticed that EZY doesn't recruit for SXF.
I applied two weeks ago, when Berlin was available. Will they take my application into consideration? I have not heard yet. Adam, what do you think?

Airlinegirl 31st Mar 2007 17:39

hey guys

just wondering if anyone starts trining on the 24th ? thats when i start mine .. im so excited!!! let me know!!

aggie140378 31st Mar 2007 17:45

Hi Adam, Yer i wondered if that was you when you introduced yourself. I really enjoyed the day, didnt feel nervous which I was shocked at. Everyone was so nice so that helped. Dont think i stopped talking about the day when I got home till after about 3 hours. Keep jumping every time my phone rings or i get an email now. I'll let you all know as soon as i do (hopfully it will b good news) And thanks for not making my interview scary :)

Wulfy 1st Apr 2007 01:16

Other Base?
 
Hi, I'm new here but have some questions

I'm living in Belgium, but I had made an application for an easyjet base in London (cause if I move to London I'm still not that far away from my family in Belgium) , but now I did get the following email :

Thank you for your completed application form for easyJet cabin crew.

At present we are not recruiting for your preferred base and therefore we have not progressed your application any further.

We are currently recruiting for our Edinburgh, Dortmund and Paris Orly bases. If you would like to be considered for any of these bases, please email us at [email protected] and we will continue with your application.

In order to be considered for any of our Mainland European bases it is a requirement that you are fluent in the native language (this would be tested).


I would consider the Paris base cause it's near my family home in the southwest of Belgium (even Edinburgh perhaps) , but i was wondering does anybody know how "fluent" is "fluent french" for easyjet ? my native language is Flemish-Dutch and I consider my English quite fluent as well, but my French is not bad, but it has been since my school days that i really had to speak it often in conversations, and it is quite rusty (especially writing)

justD 1st Apr 2007 09:38

Hey eggorbeans!
 
About part time:

you definitely have to complete your probation (6 months) then you can get it on compassionate basis or after 1 year you can just apply and you get it if a spot becomes available.

Anyone correct me if I'm wrong...:confused:

Dolley 1st Apr 2007 11:28

Wulfy:

They test you in the language, in your case French and I think it's something along the line that they have a talk with you about your family, friends, hobbies and stuff.
They make you read something like the safety demo in French and I think they make sure you are fit to assist in a medical emergency, means you know words like heart, pain, cramp, blood...so you can pretty much talk about signs and symptoms...
Not sure if there's anything written.
I've only got this second hand anyway as I've never had a language test.

You might want to consider Edinburgh and after six month you can apply for a base transfer to London!

Airbourne-Adamski 1st Apr 2007 12:01

JoJoTink

Your welcome, it was nice to meet you on the day. I am sure you are very on edge waiting for the call or email, sure it will be soon.

I wish you luck, let us all know how you got on.

Part Time

JustD, You are pretty much spot on about part time, Yes you have to coplete 6 months probation before you can apply for part time. However I am not aware that afetr your 6 months probation part time is on compasionate basis. Until you have been here 1 year which then is normal.
On assessment days we do advise the candidates part time can be applied for after 6 months.
Interesting info JustD, maybe thats our mission to found out LOL.

Oh and Wulfy

The language test is now done over the phone.

justD 1st Apr 2007 13:57

part time
 
Looked it up :)
You can apply for part-time after you have completed 6 moths, or, if you have a kid you have to look after, you can ask for flexible working regulations after 26 weeks.

eggorbeans 1st Apr 2007 16:12

part time work
 
Thanks for the info on part time work-helpful stuff. it's also great to hear that so many people are happy at easyjet, they are obviously getting it right!

_DanAir_ 1st Apr 2007 23:24

Easyjet's Paris base
 
hi everyone im new here first i'd like to apologise if i didnt write this in the correct forum but i had a look around and i thought this was the one...:uhoh:

I'd like to say that i would like to try and work for easyjet in its base in paris, but there's something i dont quite understand... what does secondment really mean? on the website it says "secondment" about paris and milan... could anyone tell me what does that mean? what difference is there with other bases... and do you need to know french to aply for that base? and is it a very demanded base by easyjet's crew or is it easy to go straight to that base? thanks a lot.:)

justD 2nd Apr 2007 07:41

Hi!
 
Unfortunately I can't tell you how popular the Paris base is, but yes, you have to speak French if you would like to apply there. (Although there are people at foreign bases who don't speak the language and still managed to get there as a newbie...there has to be a way around it, but don't know how...)
If you don't speak french, apply to any other base where you speak the language and you can transfer after 6 month.

"Secondment" means that you are on an English contarct, but not actually working in England. Theoretically you are based at one of the English bases and you are only "seconded" to your actual base.
Madrid and the Swiss bases have their own contract.

Hope this all made sense...:uhoh:

little_miss_sunshine 2nd Apr 2007 08:25

Aggie - yes the assessment day I have been invited to on 11 April is at Edinburgh. Have you been to one of these before? Just I'm pretty worried about it already!

little_miss_sunshine 2nd Apr 2007 11:21

I'm wondering if anyone can possibly answer my question. I would love to work as cabin crew but I'm really unsure about the salary. How much roughly can you expect to earn? Obviously trying to make sure I can cover bills etc!

Thanks for any help.

c_ouame 2nd Apr 2007 11:40

To little miss sunshine
 
Hi,

I suggest you read this forum from the beginning to get an idea of what the assessment day is about. My best piece of advice is 'be yourself'. The recruitment team will do everything to make you confortable and relaxed.

Salary and Benefits will be explained during that day. Anyway, you shall know how much you can expect to earn before you accept an eventual offer.

Hope this helps. And enjoy your assessment day. Make us know.

c_ouame.

_DanAir_ 2nd Apr 2007 11:51

hi everyone, thanks JustD :) ,

there's something that i didnt understand...:uhoh: so if i dont speak french i can't go directly to paris base but i can go after six months in another base? sorry i dont understand...,

and one more question...so if secondment means that you are in one base but you are seconded to another (in this case paris...) that means i wouldnt be the hole year in paris? thank you;)

justD 2nd Apr 2007 12:41

Yes, if you don't speak french, you cannot apply to Paris. But I think there is a way around it, so I suggest you apply to any base where you speak the language, then on the assessement day they will clear it off for you. You will have to choose 3 preferred bases.
I do know a few new crew, who don't speak for example German, but they still started in Germany. Don't know how, though.

If you are seconded to Paris you will be full time crew in Paris, this whole secondment is only beacause you are on an English contract. I guess that is just to make it legal. It is just for their records, you probably won't even notice.

After 6 months service you can transfer to any base even if you don't speak the language. (During this time you could even learn to speak that language)

little_miss_sunshine 2nd Apr 2007 13:42

reply to c_ouame
 
Thanks for your message.

I had a look at the previous messages on this forum but couldn't find much info at all. Think it seems to be part of a previous forum or something.

Could you possibly tell me at all what kind of information they ask about the company? Just there is so much on the website and not sure if there is an area in particular to look at.

Thanks.

esy 2nd Apr 2007 14:10

JustD, are you by chance SXF based?

_DanAir_ 2nd Apr 2007 14:15

thanks again JustD really kind of ye,

well if they ever call me i'll pick paris base as number one choice since i see that other crew without the language have been able to pick a base without knowing it... just wait and see lol i still have to finish my studies in spain, i just asked all this because ive heard here in spain there is crew that dont speak spanish... thanks for everything.

justD 2nd Apr 2007 14:28

In Madrid there is of course crew who don't speak the language, as they are there from other bases helping out until the newbies get their IDs sorted.
You should see the hotel!!! In every second room you find ezy crew :hmm:

esy:
Wherever you'd like me to be from...:O
