    I got the email too to do video interview. I am a bit nervous about it. Do we know the questions beforehand or do we just have the time they have allotted during the video process to think of our answers? Excited but really really don't want to get this far and mess it up. Well done on getting to the next stage, feel like the goal is in sight now, hopefully will be able to take a good shot at it in face to face interviews if we make it past this part!

    Hey if you read the full email it says that there are mock questions we can do however many times we like :) also after each question in the real thing it says we have 60 seconds unrecorded to think about our answer and 90 seconds recorded to say as much as we can. I'm so nervous!!! Well done also, hopefully we will make it! :D

    Got my email today too ! Am so excited, I got to face to face interviews last year but didn't get through, I'm one of the golden oldies applying so fingers crossed !!! Good luck everyone x


  • Registered Users Posts: 20 molone50


    Same here. Got to face to face last year as well and am also a golden oldie. LOL!!!!! Fingers crossed this time round.


  • Registered Users Posts: 97 ✭✭SibhEire5678


    Anyone do the video interview yet?


  • Registered Users Posts: 16 RosieFlower


    Hi folks,

    They must be on an oldie drive this year. Without going into details, it's been a while since I celebrated my 21st too!:) I have been reading up on video interviewing. One key typ I've picked up is to make sure you are happy with the the trial run questions and repeat them as often as you like to make sure that the sound on your laptop, your position in front of the screen etc. are ok. Hopefully it will just be standard interview questions they ask! Best of luck to all x

    Another oldie here who also got an email yesterday to do a video interview ..very excited !!

    Just returned home from USA on Thursday with EI & I was watching every move the CC made ☺️

    I'm sure you'll get through just fine. Keep the faith. Is there any tips you could give on what way the questions are based? Are they basic interview questions or customer service based questions? Thanks

    Yeah do let me know!! Do the practice questions first and watch over them!! So cringey but it's worth it for experience :) best of luck :)

    I can imagine. I've done the practice interviews on the app but after I've finished they disappear so was lucky enough not to see the playback ha ha. :)

    Hi everyone!
    I got the invitation for the video interview. I have never seen this before, I'm so nervous!
    Can anyone tell me the questions they ask? Is it just about previous experience and 'tell me about yourself' kind of question or really related to customer service like 'tell me about a time you gave exceptional customer sevice'? Do they ask questions about aer lingus?? I'm panicking :D
    Thank you and good luck to you all!

    Hi SibhEire5678,
    I am sure you did just fine - we are often our own critics!;) I reckon this video interview has probably as much to do with how you present yourself and how interested your are in the position you are as much as anything else. There will probably be a more detailed interview afterwards. If you don't have experience in safety, so what! I know I would have trouble answering that too, but sure isn't that what the training is about! If we knew everything we might have too do, then we would be working for them already! ;) Chin up. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you and thanks for sharing your experience. Best of luck to everyone else too. x

    Hi, I'm just wondering can you look back over your video interview or is it automatically uploaded?? :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 16 RosieFlower


    My understanding is you can look over the practice tests, but the real ones just get submitted, but I haven't done either yet :(

    Great thanks for your response and best of luck in your interview.

    Hi everyone.
    I also got through to the video interview and like many of ye made it to the face to face interview last year but unfortunately wasn't successful so I'm trying not to get too excited this time round which is hard!
    Do you have to do the actual video interview after the practice ones or could I do the practice ones this evening and do my interview tomorrow? I'm afraid to click into the practice ones incase it brings me to the actual interview.
    Best of luck to everyone its a long process but hopefully we'll get there :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 20 molone50


    I'm also terrified to open the link for the interview.LOL!!!! I know what you mean about not getting too excited.... this is my third attempt after two previous attempts at face to face interview's.Eeeeekkkk!!!! It is a position I would absolutely love and I'm scared of messing it up. Best of luck to you and everyone else though. Let's all post after we have submitted the interview and support each other with positive vibes.xx


  • Registered Users Posts: 125 ✭✭NicolaDowney


    I think I remember you from this from the last time, or maybe it was someone else with a similar name? I'm planning on doing mine tomorrow evening as I'm working all day tomorrow so will post after to let you know how it goes, goodluck if you are doing yours in the meantime :) Hopefully it will be third time lucky for you :)!

Was wondering I'm 38 and was hoping if anyone knows if they actually do hire cabin crew at this age ? Would love to get it , it's my dream job! Good luck everyone ðŸ˜

    Hey guys! Got the email to the online video interview on Friday! Was graduating at the wkend and only seeing what everyone is saying now! Sounds mad! Does anyone know for sure if we can do the practice questions, log out, and then do the real video interview at another time? Good luck everyone, we can do this! :)

    AWhh I never got an email to invite me onto the video email. Does this mean that I didn't get through at all? Or could they invite people at other times to take it?
