Hi.  There's no real set time for when olympic holidays will get back to you that I know of.  They review your application and if you're successful, you'll be invited to an assessment somewhere.
 
I went on one last yr for a high season rep.
 
The assessment lasts all day.  There isn't anything in particular they look for.  Just be yourself and try not to be nervous.  There's lots of activities throughout the day- either on your own, in pairs or groups.  At the end, you have a face to face interview with a member of staff and you'll be told by letter if you got the job or not.
 
I made friends with a few of the people from season workers last yr and met up with them the day before.  It was a laugh.
 
They came from up north and the isle of man.  They stayed in a hotel the night before but I live in London so I just commuted to where they were.  It was great hanging out with them.  I was the only one who didn't get the job with olympic holidays though.  I was so gutted.  One by one, all the people I'd made friends with got the job and were announcing it.  I knew when I didn't get my letter that I didn't get the job.
 
Everything happens for a reason.  I applied to COSMOS and they hired me.  I worked in greece for the summer.  I absolutely loved it.  Most of the people I kept in touch with from the olympic assessment were sent to different islands in greece.  A couple were actually on the same island as me, but we had such busy time tables that I never got to see them.
 
I'm re-applying to olympic and hope I get the job.  I'd love to go back to greece.  Good luck with everything.  I hope you're successful and get the job.  x

Hey
I have just sent my application to Olympic and was wondering if anyone could give me advice on how long they take to get back to you.

Congrats to everyone that has already got their interviews, Good Luck

Hello.  I too have made it to the next stage and have been invited to the assessment on the 20th.  I live in London but was wondering if it would be ok if I met up with some of the others planning to meet up the day before...

The interview is very relaxed not as many ppl as at like thomas cook interviews so you feel less nervous. The start of the interview its just them introducing themselves then you have to stand up and say abit about ye self like name, where ur from, interesting fact ect. Then then your split in2 like 4-5 groups given like say a young couple or family and you gotta pick from a list a resort and trip u think wud suit them then your group has gotta explain why to the others. After that you have like try and sell an item they give u 4 like a min or 2. Afterwards i think was like the maths, general knowledge and problem solving tests (all easier than you expect). Finally end of your day is your role play and one 2 one interview.
Honestly the day is very friendly, laid back and fun. Just try to be confident get involved and enjoy it.
If you have any other questions r ewt let me know lol x

same here. would be good to get to know people before the day. and meet up in London. It would be most stresful otherwise, London is bad enough as it is without an assessment day on top of it. Yeah, ill be staying overnight on the Tuesday as it would be too much of a rush going down the wed morning including a 2am start for the coach.
