First EasyJet assessment - what does it include?

Here is a site on the net with some information about it: http://www.latestpilotjobs.com/interviews/view/subject/Easyjet+Pilot+Interview+and+Assessment.html

Good luck, Vladimir! Don’t forget to tell them that you are passionate about aviation and really eager to learn, as your active participation in the quality forum of EuroGA shows..

No joke!

I wouldn’t mention small aircraft too much, airlines mostly think that is suspicious and will make you less standardizable.

Reply honestly when it comes to the personality questions (how would you react to this and that…). It is rather a “lie detector” than really to find out who you are. They will ask the same questions worded slightly differently, and it is impossible to keep track what you answered 20 questions ago. You then get scored on contradicting answers.

Do you have a Swiss passport? If not, it will be a huge negative point for the selection (so I’ve heard), be prepared for that.

And if you pass all tests and they invite you for the interview face-to-face, they will ask you the same (or similar) questions again. So answer only what you really think and not what you think they want to hear from you.

The same with your CV. Some airline interviewers will search for “contradictions” in your CV and ask nasty questions about them. Example: One of our students had a completely different job before starting his flight training. In his CV he wrote (dates are fictuous): May 2005 – July 2009 – Worked as dispatcher with logistics company XYZ. He attached a certificate of employment of company XYZ, which unfortunately read: Employed from May 2005 – June 2009. In the interview, they bluntly asked him: “Why are you lying to us in your CV?” When he wanted to know what his “lie” was, they told him about the discrepancy in the employment dates. He said: “That must be a mistake then.” The interviewer told him: “A large company like XYZ does not make mistakes. So it must either be your mistake or you are trying to lie. We don’t employ liars and we don’t employ pilots who make mistakes.” And that was it. (He is now flying an Airbus for a different – better! – company…)

That’s as good as randomly chucking out 90% of all CVs because nobody wants to employ unlucky people.

And that would be my answer to them if they come with such a statement.

A decent company would accept that as an excellent answer.

If you manage to pass the first stage (this online assessment) go to a preparatory course before taking the next steps. Everybody else does it and if you are the only one who has not taken the course you will be the first one to be kicked out. No matter how good you are. Especially for the simulator screening you need some training. Find out which simulator (or FNPT) they use and what airport is used for the test and get an hour of training beforehand.
