What's the good word at Virgin America?

VA always conducts group interviews. It is part of their working together image. Part of it is team building/group communication exercises. I interviewed early last year, over ten years experience did not get a job offer.

Yeah seems like a cold shot in hell for my friend considering he only has about 3 years regional experience. Wont hurt to try I guess. He is from the area so he can visit his family as well. Ha

I got a interview call for the 19th & they are only offering space available travel JFK-SFO-JFK.Who in the right mind will do space available travel out of JFK & SFO?uke:

I had to fly space available to the interview of my current employer (they booked it). I got stuck for 4 hours trying to make a connection to the destination for the interview. It was embarrassing to be 4 hours late for an interview as I'm always early but they offered me the job.

I just got an email for me to take their "assessment test". Is there anything I need to keep in mind before I go into it?? Thanks for your input!!

It's group activity and team building exercises so you can look up typical exercises on line. If they do the same thing as when I was there, they will pick someone from each of the groups and take things from their history then ask the other group who they think it is. Participate. Have a couple of good lesson learned good or bad stories.

Good luck

Thanks for the info, bcp7.. I started taking this assessment test thing and I didn't think I was doing all that well so I decided to exit it at the first chance to come back later. This first section (logic) was pretty tough, actually. But then, all I can do is to do my best I guess. I will go back and finish it later. Thanks again!!

The assessment test is new to me, I don't remember taking one on line. Its been over 18 months though. DL is an airline that gives every potential hire an assessment as part of a their interview process. I would imagine the NW guys would not have had to take it though, lol.

Yeah my friend just got back from their last group or whatever and said the assessment test was kind of a pain to do.

Sounds like a glorified FA type interview! Those are NOT fun.

I spoke to one of our furloughed DX'ers who was hired by Virgin America. He was really encouraging us to apply because they haven't filled the openings.
