OK SO
I applied back in Feb 2019, 2 days later I was asked to film a 30 second video answering;
Why do you want to work for Virgin?
Why cabin crew?
After a painful 7 months, I got the email asking to attend an assessment day. I was prepared, I watched youtube videos & glassdoor was my bestfriend however, once I entered that room the pressure was on.. It was so nerve racking!!
My group had 12 girls only so it was pretty small. We entered a room with 3 tables and we were split into 4. After watching an intro video we answered a few questions;
Whos the CEO? - Paul Scurrah
What was Virgin formally known as? - Virgin Blue
Founded? - 2000
We then watched a few more slides and as a group activity we were asked to write on paper what we had just learnt from those slides. This is where you are judged on how well you work in a team. DO NOT talk over anyone, be patient and say things such as "that's a good idea" ect Our next group activity was to present to the class a demonstration of how to use PPG gloves. After that was all done we then waited for our 1:1 interviews. N E R V E racking!
Started off with a few basics, will list the questions below, a lot were basics but also a few tricky behavioural ones.
The next step if successful is a reference check. Its a pretty lengthy process until you get the job offer, completing things such as; swimming test, medical test, training school..
Also keep in mind salary is SUPER LOW. It will obviously increase every year by a little bit but beginner salary was $46k including super..
Even though I was pretty prepared I think my nerves got the best of me, we find out in 2 weeks if we are successful or not but I dont think I will get an offer but at least I know what to expect for next time and I can help you all out.
