Tiger Job Advert

[Stikybeke]

Well,

I wonder, given that this is obviously some HR related requirement, if one were to pay all that money to sit these assessments (in a quiet location so that no one can disturb you...as advised) if wouldn't be worth also paying someone (who was suitably qualified, e.g a Psychologist or someone like that if you're game) some money as well to sit with you to "assist" you through this process..? ...Hey! you could even agree to a "No pass no pay" arrangement or a case of Crownies or something....

Just a thought...(not that I would condone such an approach, but really, if it's about using what you can to "reason" appropriately, why not... after all, they started it!!).

All good and well to whinge that it's unfair to pay the cost of the assessment, but given the current situation employment wise in Australia, $400 is chicken feed to have to pay if you're wanting to come home, or are in need of a career advancement.

Still pays better than Jetstar.....

Edited to add - These psychometric and skills tests, have any of you thought that maybe they're not looking for the top geniuses, but rather someone who fit's their psychometric 'mould'?

@Stikybeke I have heard of someone do exactly as you have described and they did not get through. He is a very experienced pilot also.

[Stikybeke]

Thanks DT,

I'm not surprised to hear that....Oh well, just a thought anyway. Sounds like it's basically "luck of the draw" or a "toss of the coin" for you guys. Especially those of you who are highly experienced. You'd think that in the current climate, you'd be first off the bat!

Keep trying guys and good luck!!!

Hi, would be interested in hearing what to expect for the Tigerair interview with Deputy Chief Pilot. Any help would be appreciated. P.M me if you prefer.

[TexanPilot]

Study up on the A320, Tiger operations and some behavioral questions.

[Gligg]

I hear they take in 40k or more in a steady month of testing. I'm in the wrong business!

[DeltaT]

Any truth to TG of Tiger being married to SLB of Advize?

[BUSH PILOT]

Anyone who interviewed in Feb/March heard anything yet? What's the usual time frame from interview to getting a yes or no??

[stockstandard]

nothing yet. Still just the monthly updates. Which part of the interview have you completed?

[BUSH PILOT]

Panel interview in Melbourne in early March, only the generic monthly updates since then. Would be nice to get some sort of an idea on a potential timeframe...

[Trigger Happy]

Panel interview mid March. Notified within 7 days. Not hearing is probably a good thing. Good luck!

[stockstandard]

Same here, mid march, generic e-mails every month, no news as of yet. No idea either on whats happening or time frame.

G'day ladies and gents

Just a quick question. What kind of hours are they looking at?

[TheColonel]

Recruitment has stopped for now... Things slowing down.

Just saying

[stockstandard]

Colonel,

Is this inside info about things slowing down? Until when?
Cheers

Tiger can't stay the way it is. At some point the parent will either expand it or wind it up. Rumour has it, it will be after the end of the financial year. Hopefully the cashed up owners of VA (you know the ones), will finally make the move.

Praying for a good outcome. The last thing we need are more pilots out of work.

[stockstandard]

Lets all hope you are right, and it better be before Qantas floods the market with qualified pilots.

[TheColonel]

As krusty said. After financial year...

[Trigger Happy]

Stockstandard- Sounds like you are nicely placed on the Tigerair "holdfile", so in a pretty good position when they start recruiting again. Hang in there & good luck!
