Australian First Round Interviews
 

Have an upcoming interview in Sydney. I've done a search and come up with some info, but still would appreciate more. Can anyone answer the following questions:

1. Is the book "Preparing for your Cathay Interview" the best way to prepare? Is it worth buying? Is it up to date? Does anyone have a second hand copy to sell?

2. How does the CX seniority system work? Some have told me its pure seniority, others have said you move quicker to an FO if you have jet time.

3. How long does the entire interview process take - ie if successful through the first stage, how long generally to the next?

Thanks.

Metroboy,

When are they in Sydney and when were you contacted? I'm just interested to know. Haven't been to an interview yet so I can't really help you. But I have heard that the CX Interview book is worth getting. Good luck to you. And by the way what sort of experience do you have?

Some of us are off to AKL. Is there interviews in SY also!! Sh!T, I've got to pay for an international flight. Some say CX is very good to work for i.e got Sh!t together. Well it doesn't seen so this time!!!

------------------
If I can't eat it, drink it, shoot it or root it, I don't want to know about it!!

Metroboy, please email me, I have the books.Thanks

The interviews are on 14th june at Syd. Not sure how many but glad to get one.

good luck to all

Far Tar,

Just when did you receive the call for the June 14th Interview in SYD? Was it by Tel. or by Mail ?
I have applied early this year and waiting for Iniatial Interview...

Metro Boy,
Just finished final cx interviews in HK. Was told seniority is based on start date alone. If 2 applicants come up for upgrade with same start date, the older applicant is taken first (nothing to do with experience).
Cx interview book is also very good, although be carefull with company/fleet info as my copy was accurate in about 98'.
Good Luck GC

I received the invite via email last friday.
They said a formal invite will come via the post. Hope you get one too.

Happy Flying

Dreams are goals you haven't reached yet!:)

Thanks folks - just got hold of the book.

Interview is in mid June in Sydney.

FYI, I have 2000 TT - 1300 RPT turbine FO, 500 of which is as a jet FO.

Was called a couple of months ago for AKL but couldn't manage it, so requested a later date. They rang me 2 weeks ago and offered SY instead. Lucky I don't have to pay big $$$ for a ticket.

Good luck to all.

Hi there Guys,

Yep I got one as well. Mines on the 12th of June though.
I just hope for all of our sakes that this crap with the union is over.

All the best with the interviews guys

Who have you blokes sent your original application to ? Is there an on-line access or simply postage stamps to HKG ?

You guys are setting yourself up for a VERY MISERABLE life. Have a good one...

Am I missing something here? All the posts prior to iatwhit's are from May LAST YEAR. Suddenly we fast forward a year and continue with the same conversation......
