Aer lingus online test
 

hello guys, anyone receive a mail nw to do the online test from aer lingus?

do you know where i can read to be prepared?

i saw this pilotaptitudetest.com

any feedback please

:ugh: unless your going to do the test for someone else sharing info will not change someones reaction time or mental capabilities. Good luck to everyone :ok:

Simple question guys:

Seems very awkward but did you wear suit for the video interview ?

My son is sick these days and I am lazy getting change when he is on na, other days I will be working so harder to do it after work.

Don't misunderstand me, I'm not asking to share the exact question, I totally agree with you on that. But telling what kind of question we can expect, especially on the interview, can help those who are beginners in the process. Hopefully, someone already did, which is nice, this is enough info I was expecting.

Cheers, and good luck to all!

Part 1 Tests
 

Good Evening Ladies and Gents,

I have completed Parts 2, 3 and 4 and am I am looking to set aside enough quiet time to complete Part 1. I'd appreciate it if you could give me a rough indication how long it took to get through all eight individual tests in Part 1.

Regarding wearing a suit for the video interview, I wore a smart shirt and tie (no jacket).

Many thanks for your help.

How about pants man! Did you wear pants!

P.S. For the ones that have done Part1, do you have to do all of them together in one go? Or can you take a break from one section of part 1 of the assessment, and then go back into it? For example can you do work related behaviour, followed by reaction speed and spatial orientation and then do complex control at a later date?

Dead right, as the camera is focused on the top half you could be naked from the waist down, for the record I wasn’t.........or was I?

Looking at the original email it says that there are four sets of assessments and that you can complete one set and do the other sets at a later date. From that I assume that you have to do all tests in a set in one sitting which means that all eight in set 1 have to be done without a break.

No it saves each of the 8 sections separately so you can take a break. I did it all in one go pretty much. Cant remember how long it took exactly.

Nearly choked on my cereal when I read "help those entering the market...even tho we are competing, doesn't mean we can't work as a team". Seriously now, get real.
From 3.000 applicants, and considering that the ratio in aviation is around 2:1 from interview to job, how many people do you reckon will be invited to assessments? Do you believe that they have the facilities and capacity to interview even half of that, considering the timeframe set? Low hour pilots will be scrutinised to the every point/mark, because the market is flooded, the experienced ones should get the majority of slots and their online assessment results will be used as a tool to break deadlocks e.g. he/she interviewed ok-ish and group exercise was ok, rusty in the sim, lets look at his/her results.
Whilst low hours, if your performance is poor in comparison to the other guy, guess who will attend the assessment?
Wake up and smell the coffee. Those entering the market should have been switched on enough to understand this concept, as well as doing the research themselves, this is no integrated school where you are spoon-fed all the way. Airlines look for competencies, figure out what sort of question you will get based on what I just said, competencies. Remember that 3.000 applied, there are 100 jobs...go figure.
I can't believe we even need to spell it out...

Just finished the assesments, made a mess of the tunnel one. Kept crashing. Guess that's me out :ouch:. Rest were fine. Going to do the interview tomorrow.

Dont worry. Everyone will crash at some point. It says so in the introduction.

Don't count on that buddy....

Hey guys, thanks to all who have helped share advice so far. I was just wondering on whether anyone could elaborate on the video interview questions? For example, are they just "tell us about yourself?" "why do you want to work for us?" or more competency based - "tell us about a time you've had to deal with conflict" etc?
Thanks again, any advice is appreciated!

How long does it take to complete the part 1 of the assessment?

It's amazing to see a comment like this one here... disgusting. Maybe you should think what you're doing wrong not to get the job. One of the things that airlines are looking for nowadays is cooperation, MCC, CRM and with you attitude i'm pretty sure you can't be good at that when you say things like this to people that are trying to achieve their dream (probably like you).

"And remember, you want the other person to get the job!" -> this will improve your performance so much...

Good luck to all :ok:

I would highly appreciate if any of the guys that contacted me in order to get the interview questions would come forward and share the info with our colleague Pilot1013.

Pilot 1013 if no ones comes forward with the questions within the day send me an email on my email address and I will help you:ok:

bit of a mixture of the above types really

Here it is Giorgino, video interview questions;

1) Did you understand the disclaimer you were supposed to read and accept, about the disclosure of Information about this assessment, and that could disqualify you from the process?

2) if so, do you understand that it is designed to be equal and fair, and by sharing, you are giving an unfair advantage to others?

3) if you can’t comply with a simple a structure and rules, and obviously are very stubborn and have difficulty in understanding simple concepts, why should we trust you with our multi-million dollars equipment?

4) Are you naive? Anything else ?

Those are the questions kids, now grow up. You wait months if not years for an opportunity, and when it comes, they make us do an online test and some muppets don’t get it that it’s a filter tool. Then someone decides to spill it all online, the other guys will prepare and possibly perform better than you. Pilots were supposed to be smart....

I do confess that I am not smart perhaps like your self my good friend:ok:

Up to now 62 people seem to be stupid like me by asking what was it like...

The way I see it is that unless I do something that directly insults someone in this forum I can help anyone I want no matter if you do not agree:ok:

On top of that if someone will be disqualified will be me not you so I still do not understand your argument:)

I always enjoyed muppet show so I take the word muppet as a compliment

You don’t get it do you? I guess I was right....the 62 people who contacted you are not stupid, you are! They have taken advantage of the fact that YOU were prepared to give the game away, knowing full well it is a competition. This is not Ryanair where anyone who meets the standard gets the job, there are 100 jobs to 3000 applicants, do you need a picture?

And yes, I do hope Aer Língus gets Hold of this, even left your name in the open which isn’t the smartest thing.

This is not rocket science and perhaps you shouldn’t make it to the next stage. The terms of application were open to everyone and obviously you didn’t understand.

Love Peace And Happiness my good friend Anunaki,life is too short to get upset:ok:

Ciao and best of luck!

Jezzz, are you high?

This is calm, I am not upset. I have completed the tests without help and whether if I pass or fail, its on me, and I will have a clear conscience for not cheating. Aer Lingus recruitment team were made aware just now, that you shared it online with 62 others, rest Assured Giorgino :ok:

Best of luck to you in the process.

This guy sounds like a treat to work with!

For quoting the airline and doing what they asked? sure would be a treat. Are you one of the 62 that tried to pull a fast one?

Is anything I said that controversial? wasn't it there an explanation where the said company stands on this sort of thing? Didn't they ask several times to answer open and honestly and not jeopardise the confidentiality of the process?

What part of "competing for a job" you lot don't get it?

Do you think that if we have this discussion with a member of the recruitment team, they will side with you? :hmm:

Anyone who has worked in recruitment knows that this forum is monitored...We can teach a monkey to follow simple instructions and you should be a little embarrassed I'd say.

I repeat, The instructions were clear, do not compromise the opportunity for others by sharing the assessment details, speaking for myself or anyone else who wants an equal shot at the tests. That shows lack of integrity, if thats you Mrspinx then you must be a treat to fly with...
"Pilots", apparently....

Hi all,

The dead line is November the 7th at 2359 or November the 8th at 2359?
Thank you very much!

Regards!

Anunaki

Kind of proved my point there. I have not contacted anyone about anything. My observation is simply from viewing a number of your posts. From the way you write you appear to be controlling and always seem to have a need to be right. You may pass the tests but I suspect if you maintain your current attitude no one will employ you. Hopefully you at least spent more time tailoring your cover letter for this application. Good luck with the tests!

Hahahaha because you know so much! Attitude? did you understand what I wrote? My point proven when it comes to being "not so smart". Answer the questions if you know so much, I have asked several but you dodged the bullet, why? after all, it was in the application form wasn't it? Aer Lingus, doesn't want people to share information, true or false?

If reminding people of that is controlling, then you need to go to your safe space Mr Social Justice keyboard warrior, as you're not prepared to face the realities of this industry.

Cover letter? Hahahaha poor you, can't beat the argument can't you? because you know I spoke sense. Obviously you haven't spent a second thinking that perhaps you are talking with someone whose first language isn't English.

My CV and letter were given a lot of time and attention by professionals, to ensure everything was to a decent standard. I have also taken courses in order to prepare for those sort of things, such as interview prep, aptitude tests practice. I never asked anyone to take the first one so I cam get the answer, like I said before, you lot lack integrity.

Some come here to ask about "whats on the test", you are supposed to be qualified pilots and the expectation is for you to know, if you disagree I have no time for you and you need to worry about your employability instead of my "attitude". Mate, I couldn't care less about what you think.

I am very worried that this new wave of "pilots' can't follow simple instructions, have little respect to fellow competitors, zero integrity and respect for the process and still try to defend their reasons to cheat in tests, because thats what it is, cheating.

Mr Keyboard warrior, Aer Lingus recruitment team will see this tomorrow I believe, and I really don't care.

Don't need to wish me good luck, I'll pass your backhanded comments, now worry about yourself.

As my wife says "it's not what you say, it's how you say it"

Did it tell you that I don’t care?

Did I say anything so controversial? Again, in regards to the questions, right or wrong? I quoted them, so do you disagree with the airline you are applying to? Do you think it’s fair on others that some candidates were given a head start because someone was stupid enough to tell them what the questions were? All they have to do is to look at their non-tech manuals, research the right competencies and write down their answer prior to recording. That’s called cheating, isn’t that right?
Getting bored of you now.

Please ''Anunaki'', I understand your frustration over the situation but please.. We are adults, Pilots, with other words we should behave even behind the screen.

''mrspinx'' I totally agree with you and gets really annoyed when I read what this unprofessional guy named ''Anunaki'' is commenting everywhere.. Cheers for your wife, words of wise-doom!
"it's not what you say, it's how you say it"

Dude, chill!
You mean to tell me you never ever have asked another fellow student about the exam you have missed the other day, or the questions you should expect on your oral exam? Now all of a sudden you are the pinnacle of integrity here? The key word for any forum is helping. Helping by giving pointers, or helping by pointing out a job advertisement somewhere or helping by giving a knowledge about a potential employer etc etc. You obviously don't know how to participate so ask yourself, what is your contribution to this forum so far?
Stop acting like a little high school brat that nobody wants to play with and act like a grown up.
For those of you who haven't completed the assessment: I am going to finish mine by early this afternoon. If you still need some pointers, pm me and I will be happy to help.

Am having the same concern. But I'll take no risks and complete evrything by tomorrow.

I’ll comment wherever I want, I have the same rights and freedoms as you. And unprofessional ? Why exactly ? Cheating on tests is unprofessional, I think you have your priorities twisted. Adults and pilots? The real ones wouldn’t be here asking for answers for what they should know, again, you got this twisted.

Don't lose your time with this dude, just a quick look on his posts in the "VA and TITAN scheme" thread to give you an appreciation of this troll.

Another one who missed the point by a mile, which raises more questions than answers. Can you answer the questions I raised? Because so far nobody did.

Pinnacle of Integrity, absolutely not. But more than some over here. You are comparing apples and oranges. There is a huge difference in helping people by guiding them in the right direction and giving them the answers. There is a huge difference in helping people in a test where everyone’s who meets the criteria , makes it, and some test that it’s a tool to reduce the number of candidates.

It’s like I’m teaching Chinese to chimps! You don’t need to give me pointers as I have completed them. You need to read carefully what it says then comemback here and explain to others that it was very clear. Throughout the tests you are reminded to Not Share!

If they had invited us instead to an assessment centre, under test conditions we would be monitored. They can’t do that, so they expect people to be professional and respect the rules, do YOU get it or will you act like a child?

And No, I will not “help” people by telling what’s in the tests. I have helped many guys and girls in the past few years with their “pursuit of happiness “in this brutal industry, but I chose to give them some tools for “hunting”, rather than giving them “the meat in a platter”. It’s what pleases me the most, see people with the hunger and determination to find the Infos for themselves. I believe it’s more beneficial to the individual.

Try harder.

HAHAHAHA troll.

Look, if you all are men of convictions, why not send me your full names and I’ll follow up with the recruitment team? Obviously you’re trying to defend the indefensible, it must be okay to cheat then right?

Shall we ask them? I’ll await your responses with your details.

Please anunaki, pilot job is clearly a bad industry for you. Go and get a different job.

I really hope I’d never fly with you. Your CRM skills are only fit to fly a single ops C152.. good luck

HAHAHAHA CRM? what exactly this has to deal with CRM?

"Some guy will not give the answers to others so he must have bad CRM". Play me the world smallest violin!

Obviously this is not for you sunshine. How dare I tell people that they have to fend for themselves, how dare I tell people to have the hunger and determination to prepare, and enter the competition fair and square. I must be delusional then....

I will ask the question again until someone answers and attack the subject matter and not the person. Did they or not(Aer Lingus), state that this is against their rules and they expect people to respect the confidentiality of the process?

Isn't this the professional way to go about things?

Perhaps you should get another job if you can't answer these. You have to demonstrate to them that you are someone that complies and follow instructions, you can't even do that....but hey, its not for me right?

I should frame this....

I know eh!? :D The guy is like a small kid, running off to mommy and daddy to complain about other kids!
Never in my life have I ever said this but I sincerely hope I don't end up with him/his kind in the cockpit. This guy isn't even fit to refuel the plane, let alone be in a team environment.
To the rest of you: Good luck all. Don't let likes of this guy discourage your enthusiasm to help and share. Not all of us are here in this forum to mooch off

Anunaki


It’s your attitude man! Throwning a wobbler here cause someone said what to expect.. get on with it. This is life.
You go on as if the assessments was only for you. People come on here to get info and help each other. You are clearly the total opposite, so I don’t even know what are you doing on this forum.

You are arguing with everyone here that disagrees with you. You wont stand a chance even if you get in, HR people smell arogance from people like you from miles away.

Btw, theres tons of information online on what to expect in those kind of interviews, aptitude test, etc..
