Aer Lingus Cabin Crew Recruitment thread

NicolaDowney

Hey has anyone else's interview been changed to the 20th of January?

Mikef747

Nicola, I got an email to say disregard the previous email and interview date and gave me a new date but it was actually still for the 8th !

NicolaDowney

@Mikef747 that's odd. There was abit of confusion whether or not my interview was the 8th or the 20th when I was emailing so she actually ended up calling me to verify that its on the 20th. I'm abit disappointed because I was looking forward to it but I'll use the extra time to prepare.

Best of luck with your interview .

Hi,I didn't get any email to say the date change yet,but I think later interview is better,more information from us who having early interview,and longer time to prepare.I am very nervous,seems mine is the earliest in all of you.don't know what to do.

I applied for it when it first came out but I know people that applied after me and they got an email before me. I was convinced that I wasn't getting an email. Also I have contacts in aerlingus and the interviews are going on right up to the 28th of January. And I was scheduled for the 8th

Thanks a lot for the reply! I applied practically on the day the job was advertised so hearing that you also applied early gives me hope that I might get an invite still.

No problem hope you hear something soon! I literally didn't think I was going to hear back cause everyone heard last week but obviously taking them a while to get through them all!

I also haven't heard anything yet.

Hi everyone, hope you're all enjoying Christmas! I have yet to hear back from EI, but not at all worried (well not yet, lol)! They're looking for well over one hundred crew in this drive, so it's going to take a long time to sort out all the interview days. Hope all of you who have yet to hear back will do so in the new year!!!

The wait is killing me....

All were given year-round permanent contracts last November, The company is now recruiting permanent-seasonal and FTC cabin crew. So working on a seasonal basis is now part of the hiring process. Being given year-round permanency will then only be a reward.

Hi there,

I have my interview on the 8th as well, just wondering when it comes to filling in the 5years check form, as part of my education I never got to finish my degree due to financial reasons, would that be disregarded on my form due to it being in complete?

Any help appreciated!

Hi! Nope you have to put everything down, regardless if you left or not! So just put down the entry date and exit date! this form has to be filled out very accurately

Mikef747

Hey guys, The recruitment form is asking for candidate/invitation number, where do I find that ?
Regards

From my understanding of the forms we don't fill that in, I could be wrong tho

Thanks Amy,
It's the first thing on contact info on the left side, I think the right side is office use only, so I think we have to fill this part in, there was a reference number when the email came for the online assessment, I wonder if this is the number ?

I must have overlooked the number in the email, I'll have a look myself tonight. Hopefully someone on this can clarify it for us.

What's everyone planning on wearing/doing with their faces? 😂 I know presentation and first impression is huge and especially so with Aer Lingus so don't wanna get it wrong! 😬😬

Business attire is probably best. Pay attention to detail. Clean polished shoes, same for nails. Minimum jewellery. Conservative colours etc. They won't expect you to know the exact standards expected of crew, that's part of the training.

More important will be your customer service experience so have examples to hand. Think of times you went above and beyond for your customers, or when you were flexible. The job involves shift work so show you are prepared for that, and mean it. There's no point making out you're prepared for early starts, late finish and working weekends if deep down you're not.

Have an idea of the Aer Lingus network and how it works. Most important is they want to see you have an understanding of role. That's it's about safety first but never losing sight of customer service.

When I went for my interview I wore a knee length black peplum skirt, a white blouse, a blazer and court shoes! I had my hair up in a bun (make sure you don't have the bun on top of your head if you wear one) and I had a little volume at the front. For makeup I just did foundation, a little bit of bronzer and blush and buffed a medium brown eyeshadow around my eyes and mascara and just did my eyebrows how I normally would! I don't think I had any eyeliner on.. I had a fairly neutral lip too, I'm nearly sure it was Mac Viva Glam 2.. Like you could definitely notice that I had makeup on but it didn't look cakey, just healthy! I had French tip nails too. I wore skin tights also as these are part of the uniform and they look nicer than having bare legs hope this helps! Best of luck

NicolaDowney

I just want to wish everyone who has interviews this week the best of luck.

Fingers crossed we all do well!

Would false nails effect my position in the interview there just on since Christmas don't want to pull them off and damage my nails I obviously understand we can't wear false ones when we are crew

2jb116

What style are they? I wore French stick on ones to my interview! If they're mad colourful just paint over them have they grown up much?

I have red shellec on my nail for Christmas, going to the interview tomorrow morning, what can I do?

2jb116

No they'll be fine just if there's a lot of obvious regrowth paint over it! Red is a uniform standard colour so it'll be perfect, don't worry at all!

Mikef747

Good luck tomorrow Daintree, hope all goes well 👍
