Aer Lingus Direct Entry Opportunity
 

Hello people, Now that the cadets are getting their shot I see Aer Lingus have opened the doors again for direct entries, entries close out october 7th.
The best of luck to all.

Submitted online application form on Friday and got automated email today with instructions to complete online tests.
No confidence though :ouch:

Same email here and I am away with just an iPad mini! Anyone who has completed them, can u shed some light on whether it is doable on a touchscreen or not?

Good luck

Same here PZ... Not even an ipad mini but an iphone in a place with substandard internet connection. Anybody knows if there are more DEP selections planned? Would be a shame to miss out.

Does anyone know what the tests are? Psychometric, numerical reasoning etc.

Thanks, ES

Evening,

Some of the tests might be possible to complete on an iPad but I would DEFINITELY NOT do the hand/eye coordination and reaction test without computer with good mouse and keyboard. :=

Good luck!

Dears,

Everything is clearly explained beforehand and really straightforward.

There are no ATPL questions.

You will need a calculator, paper, pen and a mouse.

As usual, the verbal reasoning should be the hardest test. 49 questions, 12 minutes.

Damned tube ride, crashed 5x :ugh:

Any idea what the terms and conditions on offer might be?
Best of luck to everyone applying.

Biket I crashed more :ouch:

expansion
 

it's still a bit basic at the early stages
but to follow is Interview and Sim test is a certainty
That's if you get through the next paper test...
Looks like big expansion out of Dublin now IAG are involved...loads more A330's
Taking Airbus rated and non-type rated (lower 1st yr salary)
5353 roster plus 35 days leave.

Hope that helps!

Good luck.

Was there a email sent after completing the assessments, to say all completed. There was a screen afterwards but no email.

Can you explain more about this paper test? Is it after the online assessments?

Do you know how many FO'S are being recruited?

I think it is a further Psychometric assessment.
It was on paper/computer last time.
Looks like at least 20 needed this year on top of Cadets etc..

Longhaul expansion = more A320 direct entry - needed yesterday - to allow fleet progression (whatever fleet it is)!
only one visit needed usually, interview and Sim over two days max.
Type rated contractors will be needed too...later probably.
Current contractors being offered permanent positions for next spring.
Get in now to avoid seniority gaps!:eek:

Sounds good.

Do you happen to know many positions are going?

Is the sim the next day or do you get a few days?

As said before. Verbal reasoning was the hardest part. Crashed 5 times in that horrendous game. The rest not too hard I thought.

Fingers crossed, seems like a very good gig.

TT 2300
Jet (NTR) 1700

Anyone already got a call??
I think they called me but was unable to pick up the phone.

wow that would have been fast!

It is just a guess. Thatswhy the question.

Think its bit soon for a call. Applications only ended today.

Could be wrong. I haven't heard anything.

What has happened before. Is it a call or do you get a email with an interview date?

A few years ago i got a phone very shortly after the online test. When they called me the number was hidden. Just like this week. But it mght be someone else. I wouldn' t like to miss the call. Well i guess i have to wait.

So, they phoned you for the interview then?

Maybe they are working fast. When did you complete the assessments?

@dboy: And what was the call about back then? Question about ur motivation or just formal to clarify u meet requirements?

Thanks

Was a call for interview. But i was unable to go by that time.

Does anybody know what the initial base would likely be? Irish bases only - or would LGW be included? Also, what's the deal with LHR?
Thanks.

Has anyone heard back after completing the online assessments?


I completed mine 2 weeks ago so I presume I did not get through...?

No news so far ...

Guys, why are we so impatient?

The applications closed on the 7th, meaning they probably sent out the final wave of invitations for the online tests on the 8th. Those people also had their 3 days or whatever to complete them, so they probably only received the last data yesterday!

And before anyone will even be invited they will let the system send out a mass wave of rejections, probably to the vast majority of candidates, simply based on your assessment scores. Fully automated, nobody ever even saw your applications in person. You will know when it happens, people will mention it on forums, and then you'll instantly know if your scores were adequate or not. In the meanwhile, just be patient and keep on applying!:ok:

Not so elementary, Watson! :}

In a previous round the PFO landed in my e-box 6 months after the closing date!

Patience is still a virtue, tho! Best luck to everyone but only 20 seats available, apparently...

PZ :ok:

When i updated my profile i got this message in my mail confirmation:

"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."

So be patient.

Hi, anyone receive an invite yet? I have heard nothing btw.

Nothing yet...

Hi all,
Heard they post screening and are lining up interviewers and sim for late Nov early Dec, so brace yourselves...

@mask14 As in they have selected who they want to interview??

Maybe the 7th November deadline will tell all.

as yet no answer ...
who does not pass the selections, will be notified?
if I'm not mistaken the last day to be called is the 'Nov. 4

Just received an email asking me to do two more psychometric tests. Check your inboxes...!

Same here....

A friend of mine just received an email for the tests also, but I don't.
Just logged on the career website,
Applications
You have no vacancy applications.
:confused: Edit : it seems normal
When did you do your previous tests guys ?

Can other people who have got the email confirm that on their application page it says "No Vacancy application" as well??

Haven't received the email and it say no vacancy application...

My friend has the email and "no vacancy application", so don't worry.
