Don't know what to expect for stge 2. Anyone got any idea?
Dear Pinklush: This post of yours sums up my experience & certainly my thoughts.

Which means - i'll be seeing you on 08 Jan! *in gigantic surprise*

I asked the same question (what would happen at Stage 2) to my caller and she said she does not have the information.

"I assume you made your application in writing so maybe that had something to do with it"

I have to say that I did my best for my application, and it also checked by a friend of mine who works as a HR expert.

One thing for sure is I will not give up trying for the next opening.

Thanks again for your reply.
The only way out is always through.

hi, i'm new to this forum... juz wanna share my experience with BA interview, i attended the 1st round on 1st Dec 3pm, the interviewer is a lady, very friendly, after the interview i chatted a bit with her. She gave me some tips on 2nd interview, she said 1st round will be a group interview, it'll b a topic given to us, she wants to see our interaction skills, then there will be written test, some math questions coz math skills is needed for on board duty-free sales. She told me BA is looking for pple with good customer service skills, preferably with customer service experience, but not necessary from airline.
I got my 2nd interview on 8th jan too... good luck to all who make it to 2nd round.

Thanks for the reminder Plavt! :)
Hmm..from the looks of it, they've only started calling the successful applicants from day 1, which is 1st Dec. Correct me if i'm wrong. Do post if u went for the interview on 2nd Dec and got a phone call. That way, the rest of us can stop the dreadful wait and move on. Good luck to all! :)

Congrats to all those who have received a call!

When i attended stage 2 a few years ago, it lasted about 3 hours.

If i remember correctly. First we gathered in a room. There were about 20 of us. A lady opened the session by telling us about what contract they were offering etc, another lady told us about the job scope etc. We broke up into 2 groups to do group exercise. A topic was given and we came up with a few ideas and present them. Then we break for a small tea party where we mingled with the crew and asked them questions. Then we all met back in the room and did some simple calculation exercises with calculators provided (no more language assessment). Then we had another short break. Then we met back again and they let us know who made it to the final round.

All the best!!
Live and let live

Yup! Think final stage is held less than a week after stage 2 so they'll let you know if you make it or not at the end of stage 2.

Guess it'll be like handiplast, the pain of not going through is fast and sharp!

Many leave stage 2 not knowing for sure why they don't make it to round 3...

Hi all!

I'm new to this forum. I see there are quite a number of you going for 8 Jan slot. Am wondering if your interview is also 9.45am?

Hi all

this is what my interviewer briefed me:

8,9,10th Jan - Round 2 of interview which will last between 3-3.5 hrs
11th Jan - Round 3 of interview which is a 2 to 1 interview to let them get to know us better.

After which if everything is fine, then we will proceed to medical and they will conduct reference checks.

hi msgrapey, this may sound silly, but is there any elimination in Rd 3?
