    I applied but have got no response as yet


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18 Sevenmutts


    My Daughter also completed assessment last week. She too has not heard back. As this is her first application wondered was she still in the running ?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 207 ✭✭clownface95


    Ah the recruitment process with Aer Lingus in general can be quite long. This is my third time applying and i have never moved past the online assessment lol. Probably the longer it drags out with no reply, the less likely of a change you have been honest.

    Thank you for replying. Yes, thought a week without hearing anything was a bad sign.

    What was the deadline everyone got for the assessment? Just because i think mine may have been late


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 336 ✭✭firstlight


    I went in for the baggage handling recruitment back in January
    Received a call for Interview on a private number which i found strange
    Done interview and never heard a word back
    Be prepared to hear nothing back

    I was just wondering if everyone got the same one i was told the 16th too but due to technical difficulties i couldn’t upload until after so i don’t know if it’ll still be counted


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 207 ✭✭clownface95


    I say I most likely did not move forward with the process. Usually they yet in contact the following week once you have completed the assessment. I could be wrong !


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18 Sevenmutts


    Anyone get any phone calls today?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,646 ✭✭✭California Dreamer


    If this is anything like the way they treat their pilots be prepared to wait a very long time to hear anything and generally it will be when it is too late to actually do anything.

    Did you have interview yet, how did it go? Any mention of whether they were still interviewing for the position?

    Found it strange very few have commented on this thread compared to CC one.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 207 ✭✭clownface95


    For that position the pay is quite good. 15 euro an hour, from my memory last year I think it was only 11-12 euro an hour.

    Just means less boardsies interested in the ground positions.

    Postponed due to the weather!

    How long should I expect before I hear back? I know previous posters said a couple of weeks but I can't imagine it being that long considering it's March and they have to get everybody security checked before April/May.

    I had an interview in February and got word today that I got the job. I think I had the interview early because I previously had it for cabin crew but failed at their reach assessment so they invited me for guest service agent. They do take ages to get back to you

    Hey congratulations! I failed at the reach assessment back in December too so I had my interview for guest service agent in February but I haven’t heard anything from them yet :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 207 ✭✭clownface95


    I surprisingly received a phone call for an interview this morning. Funny as I applied like 2 months ago lol


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 207 ✭✭clownface95


    Anyone have any information on the staff travel benefits with Aer Lingus ?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 207 ✭✭clownface95


    Invitation to an interview.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 399 ✭✭TheAlkaline


    I got a call for an interview this morning, literally 24 hour notice to come in. I forgot I applied it was so long ago


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 207 ✭✭clownface95


    Yah it’s kinda strange. I was taken by surprise when they called. I’m going to attend it, mine is Thursday. Did they send you a confirmation email ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 399 ✭✭TheAlkaline

    Yep, I have mine tomorrow morning. You need to bring like 27 documents with you. On such a short notice I am struggling to get this stuff printed.

    I'll have to get to the airport early and print it on the spot before interview.
    Also I couldn't find the job description anywhere anymore, do a quick recap on what they are looking for. It seems like its been removed, so I am going in dark.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 207 ✭✭clownface95


    The five year background check has caused me allot of hassle in the past. I have worked in several places both home and abroad and also completed some courses. I don’t no how im going to get letters from all my previous employers.

    They actually haven't asked me for the whole background check, there is a 1 page vetting invitation to fill in before the interview.

    How did the interview go?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30 HappyFace22


    I was the same, I got a phone call on Tuesday for an interview Wednesday. It was mainly competency based questions. Only had to bring 5 documents. The 5 year background check etc is only needed when you've been offered the job / training course.

    Just wondering did they mention starting date for training ? Daughter had interview last week but forgot to ask.
    I am the impatient one not her. Presume also a few weeks to find out if successful.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1 Boio


    I have interview for this on Thursday, any tips on what's most important?

    They actually weren’t too sure, interviewers said they’d like to think it would be in April but to be ready at any time. Will be during the week. Yes they said anything from a week to 14 days, could be more. Fingers crossed for us both.

    Cheers, about 2 weeks ago. Was expecting a long wait so was pleasantly surprised when I received a call.

    I went for an interview on March 15th haven't heard anything back but I received a call being so excited I answered thinking they were offering me the job but they were inviting me for another interview which I already attended, very weird once I told the girl I had already attended an interview she advised me they would be in touch and hung up . Nearly 2 weeks later since the interview I haven't heard anything I have emailed to see what the story was and got an automated reply saying the applications are being assessed, I had worked in the airport for over a year as a check-in agent so when the Guest services role came up with Aer lingus I was so excited to apply. I was told it would be 7/14 days before I hear back but as mentioned I haven't heard anything
    I'm hoping to hear back soon as I want to know if I can book any holidays and also would love to get back into the airport environment, I have a feeling the interview didn't go to plan though..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30 HappyFace22


    Hi, that also happened to be twice, I received two calls since the interview on the 14th inviting me for an interview. I also informed them on both occasions that I had already attended an interview. I’d say we’ll be informed in next week or so hopefully. Best of luck
