freak,

nice handle

When did you do your cog test and medical? kingbaida, the same question also goes out to you? I'm asking because I have heard that it takes a bit of time for the results of the psych exam to come back (close to a month). I'm guessing kingbaida you did your interview sometime at the beginning of September?

Look forward to hearing from both of you.

As they say... take 'er easy... if she's real easy... take 'er twice!

Hi,
I did my interview late August, my psy and cog test late september, and I got the call beginning of october.

kingbaida and freak,

I did my interview on the 3rd of October, with my psych and medical on the 4th. No word yet either.

kingbaida, how late in September? After the 25th? I'm asking just to get an idea about how long the psych results usually take to come back. Any idea.

Thanks gents.

Happy Landings.

yah, PD2 i am in the same boat just trying to figure out or get a clue as to what can be expected? PFO or good news, but i guess however much you worry or fret it will be when it will be

freak,

I know the feeling... it's funny... earlier this year I was doing my medical for JAZZ at the Alta-Vista building. There was this really nice nurse who was doing my medical, and we got into talking about how long I've waited to get to this point. She asked if I'd be interested in joining AC. I told her that's what I really wanted to do, but had been waiting for the last 6 years without any sort of response from the company. She said something that I'm going to use and remember for the rest of my life... she said "All good things come, when the time is right".

Hang in there freak. If I get any other information I'll pass it along.

Best of luck.

It's a tough wait isn't it? I did my interview in mid-August and cog/psych tests mid September. Still waiting. The good thing is, I'm past the stage of jumping to look at the call display every time the phone rings. However, my butt still puckers when I check the mailbox.

Keeping my fingers crossed for the Christmas present of a lifetime.

freak · Post by **freak** » Sun Oct 29, 2006 1:58 pm

you bet triple seven, the wait is so hard...
every time i check my mailbox i am holding my breath and keeping my fingers crossed and then praying next time i open my mailbox i have some good news but like PD2 said all good things will happen when the time's right!!
so best of luck guys
cheers

As fare as I know, Mailbox is bad news... if you get a call, it should be within 2 month after you finished all test.

cjet · Post by **cjet** » Sun Oct 29, 2006 8:09 pm

Interviewed mid July and still waiting and praying. I don't know if it's good or bad the longer the wait. I guess only time will tell.

The waiting is brutal. I did my interview at the end of July and still no word. I'm going with no news is good news.

Anybody get the job offer via snail mail? Does anyone know if it makes a difference on how fast they process your interview/cog/psych depending on where you did it?

pilatusdriver2 · Post by **pilatusdriver2** » Tue Oct 31, 2006 11:00 am

Hello Motto... reminds me of the ring-tone on my cellphone

From what I understand you need a complete file before you can get assessed by the hiring committee. The longer it takes to get your cog/psych and medical test results back, the longer the wait before you get the thumbs UP/down.

I’m actually really curious about what the average wait times to get your cog/psych results is… can anyone shed some light?

Cheers.

joebloggs · Post by **joebloggs** » Tue Oct 31, 2006 2:39 pm

Hey PD, I went through the process just as the psych tests were being introduced and if memory serves, it took a week from doing the test to getting the call. This may vary. By the way you will not get an offer in the mail. If successful, you will be called, if not....the dreaded letter. Good luck!!

pilatusdriver2 · Post by **pilatusdriver2** » Tue Oct 31, 2006 2:53 pm

joebloggs,

Thanks for all the information. I'm sure that there are a few other guys on the forum that appreciate the help.

Take 'er easy.

kingbaida · Post by **kingbaida** » Wed Nov 01, 2006 9:10 am

I agree with Joeblogg and PD2 !
It took me just over 2 weeks to get the call from AC !
I read a lot of rumours on this forum about everything you need, and should be ! Ok I think it's time for clarification . Sure a bachelor's degree helps, internal references and all that, but guess what ! I did not have any of those ! I believe they're looking for true and genuine people, good interview, experience, and cog test. It makes me laugh, when I see " you should answer yes to the florist question, and no to this....
My word of advice !, BE YOURSELF, and that's what they want to see. I did not bullshit on any of those questions, and it worked for me.....
Don't you think they would prefer to hire someone true and honest !
Think twice ! Good luck to all of you......

kingbaida,

You're right... I don't think there is a particular recipe for getting hired at Air Canada. I think it has more to do with the entire package. It’s good to speculate though… because it helps the time go by!

I’ve got a long story… and if I make it back to Canada… I’m buying the whole lot of you a first round of Rickards. It would be nice to meet everyone in person. Would Arizona's Bar & Grill work?

Good luck gents.
