DHL in LEJ

Hi to all,
What do you think about being with Contractair for DHL in Leipzig?
Can we go direct to DHL for a contract or not?
And what about the working conditions for a guy commuting in LEJ?

Regards

Buggar off Neil or i'll get angry.

Hidden - you could go direct but commuting is difficult, ask Neil he's got a house in LEJ but he was never there when needed .... If via Contractair that is covered as transport is provided

Contractair says that it will be a 9/5 or 6/3 roster. I live in Portugal
Never worked with brokers. Dont know anything about them!
Why do you affirm that commuting is hard?



REGARDS

It would be neither of those. It's not impossible to commute from Portugal but it's always your time wasted. Guess it depends if you have a job or not

FOs. There may be a few DECs, but they will be short term contract only. Good luck, DH

Excuse me dragging this thread up folks!

I have an interview coming up with DHL Air UK (I've been chasing it for 2 years) for the LEJ base.

Just wondered if anyone had any up to date info to help me with prep for the interview (in exchange for beers of course!). Also, I'm giving consideration to commuting to LEJ from Athens (where my girlfriend lives, although she's prepared to move if necessary). I realise all the requirements regarding back up tickets and reporting refreshed and ready to go, but do people consider it realistic? My plan was to try to claim non-resident tax status with HMRC. I'm more than happy to drop the whole plan and relocate to LEJ if it's what's needed. I've been chasing the job too long to screw it up!

Any info/advice much appreciated. PM if required

Hello guys, I'm new here...

I pull this thread out of the list, because I've just received fresh news from them. I got 2 days for an interview, end of february 2011.

Anybody has any valuable info concerning the recruitment process? I know it's quite standard like psychotest, sim session, technical interview... But what else?

Thanks by advance!

Depends on whether you are an LEP, type rated or non type rated. Type rated with experience and you might get a full pay contract.

The information I have got is

S/O approx £28000 first year I think it goes up to £32000 second year
F/O approx £43000 first year rising to £49000 second year

UK tax an NI has to be taken out of this.

I do not know the criteria that puts you in first or second officer band.

All new hires will be expected to live near Leipzig. If you don't want to live there, don't waste your time applying. It is not the easiest part of Germany to get to. There are no direct pax flights to the UK. It takes about 1 1/2 hours from Berlin by car or train.

Hope this helps.
