Hi everyone!!
I went for the walk-in interview at KL today. There were loads of people but I guess it cant beat the Singapore walk-ins.
I got booted out in round 3, the kebaya round.
But good experience for me, and I made so many friends. Haha... Anyway this is going to be a detailed story of what happened. ^^
I arrived at 8.10am and got a ticket to wait for my turn (it was B11). When someone called the range of numbers I was in, we were brought to another room which already have people in it. I spoke to a girl in that room and she said she arrived at 7.50am. Her number was A87. So there were already 100 candidates in the room before me.
We were then asked to submit our application form and show the certificates/ IC (but I was only asked to submit the form). Was ordered to wait outside the room. Then another lady arranged us in 10s. Brought us to another room where 2 interviewers sat. 1 pretty nice older lady and 1 really grumpy younger lady.
Sat in front of them in a row and was requested to stand up one by one to introduce ourselves. We were asked to tell them our hobbies. Then out we go to wait for results. I succeeded in round 1. With me were 3 other girls.
Then we were brought to another room and had to wait for quite a while. It was the game and 1 on 1 interview. Using UNO cards, a group of 4 candidates (to match up with 4 different panel of interviewers) are to match the cards according to colour and number. First group to match 5 pairs win. We were given like a minute to discuss our strategy. Like what others have said, I believe that it is merely to see if you are a team player. Then got sent out of the room and got called in again for a 1 on 1. From the game, I see that all interviewers were REALLY nice. My interviewer asked me to talk about myself and why I chose to join the airlines. Then was told to choose a card out of 5 (they were facing down) and I was to read the passage aloud. Based on that chosen scenario passage, the interviewer asked what would I do if I was the stewardess in the passage. After that I went out to wait for results. Out of the 8 for this round, I succeeded with 4 others.
Then we were brought to another room to test the kebaya and do some skin check. 4 of us girls went in leaving the other guy outside. Anyway, there were 6 pairs of kebaya (i think) hanging on a rack. They do not have sizes written on it, but I believe they are of different sizes. We were told to remove our watches and stockings. Once fitted into the kebaya, we were asked to walk to the interviewer from a distant (and walking with their flip flops). Stopping in front of the interviewer, she checked the face with just normal ceiling lights. Had to look left, centre, and right. Then I was asked to stretch out my hands and she looked and lifted the kebaya at the elbow area a little and looked again. Turned the hands upside down to see the other side. Then was asked to show my ankles. Followed by changing back to our clothes and going out to wait for the results. I think this was where I screwed up. The kebaya was too tight for me so I guess it did not look nice at all.
From the 4 of us, 2 got through to the final interview.
I believe that the procedures are similar but not exactly the same. And, I have this feeling inside me that says this KL walk-in is easier than the Singapore ones that I've heard so far. But I cant really compare since I have not been to a Singapore interview.
So anyway, hope this can help others prepare for the next intake.
Sorry for the super long post...
Cheers and good luck!!!
