Dragon Air
Hello,
Can anyone help me out with some information concerning getting a job at Dragon Air??
I looked on the website and it only lists "cadets" as a current requirement.
Any ideas on whether they might be hiring again after SARS is history (completely). if so, what kind of requirements are realistic on getting a job there.
Many thanks,
A/T less

Hi A/T less
Yes, they started recruiting again. I've just been invited to 2nd interview with 4000 TT of which 1700 A320 and 1000 A330. I've just sent them a "blind" application. Nothing was mentioned on the net.
Good luck

Getting it right could be the difference between getting the job or not. It was only advice, albeit not that friendly.
For the record, the company is called Hong Kong Dragon Airlines Ltd, otherwise know as Dragonair. Dragonair is what is painted on the side of the aircraft - as well as the Cantonese name.

"WOW"
Some of you guys really don't get it do you?
You really do have to know what the company is called and in fact you need to know a hell of a lot more about the company than the company name to get a job.
This applies to any company in any industry.
Of course this only applies if you really want the job.

Dan's advice is worth heeding.
If the company's name on the envelope is incorrect, it won't even get opened no matter how much experience is contained therein.

Firstly it doesnt matter how you spell the name of the company on the envelope.The Canto-office clerk opening it is unlikely to observe a mis-spelling in Cantonese nevermind English.
Secondly, this issue is an example of the typical mindset that exists there-pernickity for the sake of it and no real point anyway.
Perhaps an RAF administrative backdrop perhaps Aussie-analism.Imagine a combination!and they say Cx is worse.

thanks for the advice (Fly747)...you should get out more often.

Getting back to the initial topic in question, posted by A/T less....,
Have there been any reliable reports of recruitment at Dragonair for those who do not have Airbus experience?

This thread is interesting from the point of view of having a few guys asking Q's wrt employment, and almost the same number replying with (petty) advice that one would expect to hear from the employer himself if he was bored.

I had a fist interview with Dragon and i was told that you need a bus rating to go to HK. I now have the second interview and have found out that guys are being looked at to go to HK without Bus rating. Does anybody know whats the company line is.

My advice was genuine. If you want a job then write an accurate, grammatically correct and concise CV. Learn to spell and find out about the company you are applying to.
It's not being anal or Australian, you are trying to project the best image you can on a piece of paper which may help to define the rest of your life.
Having said that the furry worm is still more laid back than the chicken wing.
If you make the mistake of thinking that the Chinese girls in the office are stupid then don't pass go, no £200 for you.
Dragon are hiring so it pays to get it right.
PS, Hey spninx, the fist interview sounds interesting, I didn't know they went that far. It takes all sorts.

Fly 747 - I'm completely in agreement. I can only speak from experience, but I made sure everything was correct and it worked for me. And when you consider the number of CVs which arrive through the post/e-mail compared with the number of jobs going, I consider the advice given as to getting everything correct to be good. And this advice should apply to every company you apply to, wether they be a night mail operator with one Seneca to a well organised international airline with very high standards such as Dragonair.
Spell the company's name wrong and draw Dragons on the envelope to help out those poor office girls with a poor command on English if you wish, but don't expect a prompt reply.
Your choice.
PS. Those 'poor Cantonese office clerks' who can't speak English don't exist. everyone in the company is fluent - it's the company's working language.
