Just wondering if I were to do the phyc testing/inteview with Qlink (if given the chance) would this hamper my chances of securing a test date/inteview with Qmainline? (assuming one of these days they start hiring again)

I know a guy getting recruiting Emails from QLink reminding him to update - I am sure you are all getting them - he has 4500 TT and 1300 Multi

Overheard

Overheard a QLink pilot (FNQ) on CTAF saying there was going to be a ground school starting early December. Heard anything?

Psych test was stupid but I passed it. Felt more like a English comprehension test than anything. Then the maths was statistics and pie graph stuff. Tips, all I did was the practice tests on the shl or whatever website.

If all else fails go with B. Apparently its the new C. See C was replaced in the late 90s for A which before the 90s was D when it wasnt E or B.

Ok I know the information I want is in here somewhere but I can't bear to troll through this thread all 5 million pages to find it and the search engine is too difficult for my education level so here goes..

Is the SHL psycho evaluation for QLink also the same one Jetstar and Jetconnect use..ie does SHL retain your results for future applications?

(Just a stingy pilot that can't abide forking out 171 clams for an online exam over and over)

thanks KSA5223, yeah did the practice SHL tests. Quite unnecessary. Just gotta work up the guts to sit the actually SHL test. Might do it tomorrow. What do you mean you passed? you got greater than 50% and it tells you or you got contacted by qlink to do the next stage of recruitment (interview)?

hey built. Can't remember exactly, pretty sure It was via email from qlink about a week later I think saying successful in the psych testing and yeah next stage. But this was through the traineeship which went tango uniform not long after I got the email. I did not have the 250 multi at the time to go direct entry.

qantaslink lotto

Has anyone else here been a casualty of the qantaslink lotto employment process? Each time I get offered a position for testing via email and respond all the spots are taken!

What really puzzles me, whilst I'm out being a good employee, working hard, the email is sent out. I get back from my job, reply to the email and miss out each time.

Yep, happened to me, and now my application is apparently not competitive. Lucky the eggs are not all in one basket.

Mustang,

I was overseas when I was applying and exactly the same thing happened. Must have been all the guys with email on their phones. Hang in there, You'll get it.

yeah I know someone who has just been told the same thing. Reapply in two years. and that was after being told earlier this year he had made it to the interview stage. Had a fair few hours too.

Can I ask what experience levels you have Zoomy? PM if you don't want it up here.

I am in the same boat, my story is:-

1. Applied for D/E employment with Qlink just over over a year ago
2. Completed on-line psych at the time.
3. Offerred several interviews - later advised all testing positions taken.
4. Received an e-mail about a month ago asking me to update my details, which I did.
5. Received another email shortly afterwards asking to confirm my interest in the job by replying with Name/ARN, which I did.
6. Waiting...

I know of two friends that have recently been asked to complete on-line psych testing. Another friend with far more experience than me who had previously been offerred an interview has just been told he is not competitive, reapply in two years.

Has anyone been offerred an interview lately?
