hi guys, I've just recieved my confirmation mail, does anyone have any good tips or insighters on the next phase?

I finished the assessment today, anyone got an idea how long it takes for an update?
Got the second email also as soon as I started the assessment....

Junior- flyer did you pass the online assesments ? :)

negative, thats my first step, any good tips?

Second email
 

I have received written confirmation from Aer Lingus that the second email is a system response sent in error and that there is no second round of online testing. With that in mind the next stage is interview and sim test and at this time they have not scheduled a time for them. At least there'll be no more flying down the tunnel my face was numb after that...

Where in the email does it state the tests must be carried out within 3 days? Comprehension test failed:E

For the guys that already done the test,
Could you confirm me that you don't need a Joystick and you can simple use the Mouse?

Yeah you only need your mouse and keyboard

Yip... Just a mouse required

Hi all!
Yeah I got an email this afternoon about (another?) online pre-selection test? But I'd finished the online assessment with the numeracy, verbal reasoning, hand-eye coordination last night already. Do I disregard this email or will we get a second set of online tests?

Does anyone know what the rest of the selection process looks like? Sim grading (A320?) and interview?

Great opportunity :)
Cheers!

I believe that second e-mail you are all talking about is in response to speculative applications that were sent to aer lingus, they keep these on file for a period of six months and it seems this e-mail is an automated response to that.

My guess is that you can ignore it if you've applied for the direct entry scheme in the past few days as it's exactly the same competition.

I've just done the online assessment... found a little issue about time, not so easy but satisfactory! particularly about verbal reasoning

I just wonder how long does it takes now for the response..


Cheers

Aer Lingus online assessment
 

Is anybody who has experience of the online assessment willing to spill?

Where did you read 4 weeks after closing date...?

In my email it said: ""Thank you very much for your cooperation and good luck. We will be in contact shortly after you have completed the assessments."

This is one of the initial emails we received..

Thank you for completing your online application,

Following the initial screening, the most suitable candidates will be invited to participate in the next stage of the recruitment process. If your application is successful at this stage, we will contact you within 4 weeks of the vacancy closing date.

If you have not heard from us within this time then we regret to inform you that you have been unsuccessful on this occasion. We are unable to provide individual feedback as to why your application has not been successful due to the volume of candidates applying to our vacancies.

What do you think?

I saw that also.....

Am I the only one who is blocked at page 8 when it says

Please enter your rating on up to 4 relevant types. If you flew a particular type for more than one employer, please enter seperately and start with your most recent employer. Please include A320/A330 experience if you are rated on these aircraft.

Employer Name whilst on Type*

I have no working experience so I do not know what to enter, is it happened to you too ?

thanks

Best of luck to everybody who is going for this. I'm going to do the tests tomorrow when I'm less tired :zzz:

550TT, no TR, ex mil pilot. Fingers crossed. :}

anybody with some info about the math questions asked?

Hi guys,

after the tests i got the email sent by lack of coordination too.
I got no further email.
Am i ok? what to expect next?

Thanks

yeah I actually got both emails; one indeed saying it'd be 4 weeks, the other one saying "We will be in contact shortly after you have completed the assessments".

Besides the email that got sent after I'd done the assessments already (faulty or not?) I haven't heard anything yet but I've got everything crossed :)

Does anyone know how many ppl they're looking for??

Yes,

exactly the same for me...
well, a bit of confusion of the Island:E

Lets seat and wait:ok:

Numbers
 

EI will launch SFO and YYZ next year so current crew will move to 330 if they wish leaving a decent number of spots FO 320 TR to backfill which cadets won't be ready for, DUB base but easy to commute to most UK and even EUR cities
SNN will also be base for the three leased B757 and again some existing crew may transfer plus SH fleet is growing , cannot say what number is but it's all positive news and growth in these times is welcome

Very exciting news indeed Hangar6. It's good to see that at last there's some light at the end of the tunnel...

thanks Hangar6! :)

Any more inside info about the following stages of the selection?

Cheers!

Hi guys,

got the invitation to the online assessment yesterday.

Does anybody know if you have to do all the tests (numeracy, orientation, verbal reasoning, etc) in a ''single shot'' or if you can actually log out and come back later to complete the assessment?

Thanks for your help, ;)

PS 300 h TT , frozen atpl

You can log back out and do the rest later. Once you start a test though, you need to finish it.

I'd recommend using a external mouse for the hand eye coordination though.

All with just a unique login :( i did those 2 days ago :bored:

Finished the test....what the hell is that tube business about?! :confused:
1600TT, rated - low hours

Just did first 4 tests. Can you give me some examples of questions in verbal reasoning, numerancy and complex control?

1000TT, non type rated

Further education vs General Education
 

Hi guys,

Anyone can help me figure out what they mean by:
- Further Education
- General Education

I am French and we do not have the same educational features here.

I have universities (MBA) degree, and before that I gor a French baccalauréat (equivalent of your A-levels).

Do I need to consider that university degrees are "Further Education" and everything till A-levels (included) is "General Education" or is it the contrary ?

Many thanks or your help...

That's correct. Gen ed = Bac

Further. = university

Are the tests all in English, or available in multiple languages?

Verbal reasoning would be easier in my own language. :hmm:

I completed the tests 5 days ago but since then no news...
Whats next?

Yes, they are in different languages but I can't promise that you will find your native language in the dropdown list.

Tests done!:cool: Waiting for feed-back...

NO TR 1000TT 600 Jet

Time needed for test
 

Hi Guys,


Good to see some recruitment again in these dark times.

I just got the email, my question was how long it will take to finish the test?

Good luck to you all.

900hours total. 600heavy tprop. non rated

binnader – yes I attached a cover letter as well as a copy of my CV.

harry – seaside – the tests take about 1.5 to 2 hrs total, depends how many practices you have at each individual test.

I’m a low hrs non rated scrote and I got an email last week inviting me to complete the online assessment tests which I did at the weekend but I’m not holding my breath. The job ad stated that preference would be given to rated people and there’s plenty of them looking for work at the moment.

I only managed to complete about 2/3 of the verbal reasoning assessment questions before I ran out of time.

I had a fairly good practice at the final assessment to get a good feel for it before doing the assessed version, however I think that I did better in the non assessed practices than the assessed version, typical really and I’d invested £3 in a mouse for my laptop!!!!!

If the final result is based upon an overall mark for all the tests then maybe some of the others marks could raise my overall result to an acceptable level but if it’s based on individual pass marks for each test then I’m screwed (not the first time, won’t be the last).

As lukelongthorne mentioned before it’s a case of waiting up to 4 weeks from the closing date (11th July) to hear the results but as I mentioned earlier I’m not holding my breath.

I received an invitation aswell for the online assessment.
Unfortunately I have no type rating and no airliner experience.

Some people said that the test would be available in more languages.
Does anyone know if dutch is one of the languages?

And ofcourse good luck to everyone!!

Feedback
 

Hi guys,
I submitted also the same online test few days ago! Does anybody have any idea when they will get back to us with a positive or negative feedback..?? Do you think that there is also a possibility to receive a phone call for a kind phone interview???
Thanks guys good luck to all of us!
