I'm so dissappointed with myself yesterday....:( What a letdown.

Managed to pass Round 1, Kebaya + Skincheck but failed at 1to1 interview.

During Kebaya, the lady was very nice. i was initially very stiff in my walking but she asked me to try being natural and i did! She mentioned that i am very fair and have a small face. LOL

During 1 to 1 interview, The questions asked were relatively tough:

1. Why do you want to make a career switch?
2. What does customer service means to you?
3. What are the negative aspects of being a Cabin crew?
4. Do you refer to work alone or as a team?
5. Are you a team player or team leader?
6. Describe yourself.
7. Is service on Air ot service on ground more important and why?

That's all i could recall........

I frumbled at Qn 3 :

"3. What are the negative aspects of being a Cabin crew?"

I answered that working irregular hours and that it can be positive in the sense that you must stay healthy and be very disciplined.

I guess this is what killed me....depending on how you interpret my answer. i guess i failed to explain clearly and maybe the interviewer might interpret it as i'm someone who prefers 9 to 5 job.

Actually what i meant was that to some people, it might be negative. However, for me, it is positive as i do not like deskbound job and thus i do not mind the irregular working hours. This can be positive because i will then"forced" myself to stay healthy, be healthy and maintain being disciplined.

Sigh!

Hey, but i'm happy for Pinklittlefigure who managed to pass all rounds.......You deserve it for putting in so much effort.

It was nice meeting Rainchocolate as well.........i hope you remember me. :)

Iwannafly and Mouse, lets work hard and try again........We'll soon succeed! :)

I am not discouraged, because every wrong attempt discarded is another step forward

ya.. i'm soooo happy!!! it's almost unbelievable and yesterday's interview was so surreal. i went in w/o much expectations becos it's my first trial afterall..

girls, if u think ur nt pretty enough, or u worry about scars, or even ur education level... DUN FRET!! just go and try!! i'm nt pretty, i just had a scar (alamak.. came at the wrong time though) on my hand, i have mild acne... and i even went w no toenails (cos of running), at the management round, i even rem telling summertime i'm dead cos after a day of waiting, i think my make up is smudge n my face is oily and giving in to gravity.

haha...

but bear in mind, be confident, be humble, be nice and be SMILEY!! And it might just be ur lucky day!!!

AND AND AND... rem to do ur homework.. read thru the forum, it's got the best advice u can gt!!!

gd luck for those who'll b gg for today's management n future walk-ins.

:wink:

Hi everyone! Same as serray, this is my 1st time applying for such wonderful job and have gained so much experience throughout the interview!

And to tell ya, initially i have no idea what is 1-1 interview and management interviews until I tried Google search and found you guys useful tips.

To those who'd make it through: My sincere CONGRATS! I really hope to join you guys soon if ever possible...

To those who didn't make this time round: Don't give up so easily ok? :) I'm sure ALL of us here will be able to make it in the near future! JIA YOU!
Embrace the Day with Power Confidence! ^^v
