QANTAS/Virgin Cadetships

Hi all,
Is work experience essential or desirable for gaining a placement in the cadetship? Due to the nature of my course (Aviation) and flying (3x a week), I was unable to work part-time.

Considering that neither airline has taken on new cadets for several years, I'd say it's kind of a hypothetical question

Virgin took on cadets last year...

To answer your question, having work experience in any area where you can demonstrate teamwork, leadership, good communication and customer service skills will put you in good stead for any airline cadetship a, let alone Qantas or Virgin.

Would having no prior work experience degrade my chances towards getting a cadetship though? Yes. My ex boyfriend is a Virgin cadet. He told me there was an intake last year.

Not necessarily, if you have a good extracurricular background, then you have a lot of examples to draw from from there for job interviews.
