Experience is really important to be considered seriously.

Like you I applied last week , I've passenger service experience with swissport. I applied last year but found the online assessment quite difficult so I'm not too optimistic about this year .

No I haven't recieved one. I don't know if they have started sending them out yet.

A2020

Got the online assesment today.

Backpack20

Nothing yet, did you receive an email inviting you to complete the online assessment? Also did you get any confirmation email from Aer Lingus when you first applied ? I didn't receive any email since I applied .

I answered as much questions as i could with the time given, I emailed Aer Lingus yesterday to confirm that my online assessment was submitted. They confirmed that by email today and that they will get back to us soon with an update on our assessment.

I applied for Guest Service Agent & completed the online assessment last week , have heard nothing since .

Backpack20

Same here.. Did you apply last year ? I have no idea how long it takes with this process .

Baxtrax

completed online assessments last week, and did the telephone interview yesterday, got offered face-to-face interview on the spot! Is that usually the way its done?

Backpack20

Congrats on the interview, how did you find the online assessment. Did they tell you what month you would be starting if you get the job ?

Backpack20

I completed my assessment on Sunday , yah your probably right.. Have a bad feeling tho !

Was it a landline that called you. I had a missed call from a unusual number.

Wondering the same , I had a call from a blocked number yesterday & missed it

I found the assessments tricky enough . I didn't do them last year. I did for the cabin crew & didn't pass them but yet they called me sometime after for an interview

Cinderella3

The longer it goes on the less hopeful I am of been called for an interview .
I know they will let us know one way or another but I think anyone been offered an interview is let know first plus I know from experience that it doesn't take long to make decisions regarding who's been offered a job

Backpack20

I put down April for when I could start working , I'm in college at the moment . I don't think that date will be suited with the training... Haven't recieved a phone call yet.

When is your face to face interview? I'm still hopeful I will get a call

Backpack20

Any phone calls today ?

A2020

Not yet. How about yourself did you get a call

Backpack20

Nope ! I dunno it's hard to predict things. Keep positive I suppose.

Cinderella3

Not a word here either !
Would love to know one way or another

Backpack20

Yah I think it's time I pack it in for this year ! Hopefully third time lucky next year 😂, best of luck !

Baxtrax

Yep it was a landline number for those who asked! I think interviews are going on until next week

It wasnt too bad.. went well but lasted around an hour. Lets see how the selection process goes..

Backpack20

Well I'm finished in or around April ! Really disappointed it's my second time applying. Thought I would of received a phone call .

I have an interview with aer lingus on Monday at 12.
I would appreciate any tips. An hour seems like a long time for an interview.
Also what is the salary?
Thanks.

Backpack20

Seriously? Is that all?

Some are only paying 10 euro ph & aren't paid for rest breaks on that either .

Yeah Airline ground staff pay is pretty grim these days.. Would be the same with American carriers. It's good experience and somewhere to start but do not expect to earn a fortune 😊
