Aer Lingus cadet program 2013

[IDLWITB]

Many thanks Aerlingus 231.... Sure it doesn't cost anything to submit and see.

[Coliandro]

How long do you think it will take before the first on-site interviews will take place?

Do you also know what will be the prospect of salary for the first few years of employment?

Thanks a lot for your help

[Boe787ing]

How long have the people who submitted applications waited before a response to complete online assessments ?

[contacttower118.2]

Was three days for me.

[darkced]

invited to complete online assessments the day after I submitted my application.

[Boe787ing]

Not looking good

[future captain]

When did you submit your application?

[Boe787ing]

Friday....

[Quiet]

Wouldn't be too worried about it, just give them a few days. Unless you didn't meet the minimum LC requirement you'll get the email eventually. Plenty of time left.

[Greendotz]

Quiet:Can anyone shed light on why a CV might be optional? If you don't submit a CV are you at a disadvantage? The fact that it's optional indicates that you wouldn't be at a disadvantage but then why ask for them at all?

It does mention that the CV attachment is optional, so I guess you don’t need to worry about it too much, but ask yourself this. If you truly want this job then wouldn’t you want to put in the most amount of effort as possible? Especially on such a vanilla application process it’s probably the only opportunity you get to distinguish yourself from others. Also I bet if you did make it to the interview stage then they’d have something to go on. If you’re thinking “man, I want this job, but making a CV is such a bother” do you really think that further down the line you’ll be able to compete against incredibly passionate candidates who will be putting 100% of their effort into getting the job.

I think you’re spot on with your analysis that if they really didn’t need it they wouldn’t give you the option to upload it in the first place, but hey I could be wrong.

Also @Beo787ing, calm down buddy I you mean Friday the 17th then it’s barely been a single working day. Potentially you may not hear anything until June 21st and still get invited to take the online tests. At least give it a week, if you still haven’t heard anything by then then maybe you can start worrying, but don’t freak out just because you didn’t get a next day response

Hi all,

Just received the invite for online assessments, applied a few days ago.

I have a Frozen ATPL and job hunting 3 years now. Anyone else here thats applied as a licenced pilot? With it being a cadetship type thing I'm wondering if they'll hire a certain number ready to go straight in for the TR Training.

Good luck everyone!

[Boe787ing]

Oh wow! Just to let you know I got my email to do online assessments just now.

Do we have 72 hours from registering or from when we receive email ? I was thinking of doing it over the weekend since I have long hours at work all week.

Does anybody know if I could do that?

[Exiled Martian]

I too recently completed the online assessments (PPL'er)!

On that note Goodluck to all the hopefuls

@Boe787ing: To answer your question I think the email depicted 72 hours from receiving the actual email invite.. to quote;

"Please complete the assessments at your earliest convenience and within 72 hours of receiving this email"

[pug]

Did anyone who has completed the tests manage to answer all of the questions in verbal reasoning, or Is it accuracy based like many others are such as for graduate schemes?

[southernjock]

Same boat

Boe787ing,

I'm in a similar situation, I received my email last Thursday but am unable to register for the online tests until this coming weekend. This is due to the fact that I am overseas with work at the moment and won't be in a position to have either a steady Internet connection or computer with a keyboard or mouse until then.

I plan to register on Friday and start my 72hrs from there as it specifies in the email the 72hrs starts from the registration for the online tests.

The best of luck to you.

[Alpha Golf Mike]

Does anybody know what the Norwegian equivalent to the Irish Leaving Certificate is? I didn't get a very clear answer from Aer Lingus...

[Boe787ing]

Thanks for the responses, am glad your on the same logic as me southernjock.

Alpha golf mike I would have no idea but can you contact Naric to compare qualifications ?

[G-GOLF]

Can anyone kindly confirm whether or not a mouse is necessary for the online tests? I have not yet registered for them so apologies if they give such information after that point. I only have a laptop, which is why I'm thinking it might be an idea to find someone with a desktop before registering and starting the 72 hour countdown.

[pug]

G-Golf, I found that a mouse was only really required for the hand eye test, I managed the rest on a laptop.

[G-GOLF]

Thanks Pug!

I'll have to pop out and pick up a mouse then.
