Oh no I'm a complete outsiders, most of the people in my assessment day were already in the industry so I thought my chance was out the window, really surprised I made it this far

Being an outsider makes no difference to your ability to pass the psychometric tests, or the subsequent training. Banish all such negative thoughts from your mind. Prepare for the tests using the materials provided, especially the MMI. Do not overthink; turn up on the day relaxed.

Good luck!

Hello everyone. Just wondered if anyone has heard anything from Virgin today regarding the assessments? I was sure they said we'd know by Christmas and I can't imagine they'll be working Christmas Eve.

I had the safety record email but I didn't get any confirmation from them when I sent it back. Has anyone else heard a thing since they sent their completed forms back?

Wish everyone the best of luck and Merry Christmas to you all.

I know someone who has had an email offering a medical but I haven't had anything myself yet.

Not heard anything either apart from asking for safety of line info and again No confirmation they had received it.
Fingers crossed we get to hear very soon before Christmas would have been nice but sadly looks like it will be after Christmas now.

Same here. Heard nothing since I sent back the atoc forms.
I've heard of 2 being offered the job pending medicals.
