5. japanese REALLY care about complexion. so, from now till you receive your interview letter, drink LOTS of water. maybe about 3L-4L a day.

Yups, lots of water is good. But don't drink too much water before going to bed, else you'll get eye bags the next morning

During 3rd round, they will take u to a room to check your arms and legs for scars and tattoos.

Visible scars on the legs and arms rite? Does the JAL uniform cover the knees?

Hi Matt10,

JAL crews wear black knee length skirt, short sleeve white blouse, black vest, black jacket and come along with a scarf around neck..

Mmm... You may like to take a look at e url below to get an idea of how it looks like.. Hope it helps..

Just to add on...

They usually wears jacket during winter and vest during summer.
But its afterall crews' preference.

some have PM me asking me about scars, blemishes, acne on face and legs etc

best is put some leg spray if it is on your legs. what i have heard is they look closely thoroughly. japan sells these type of leg spray but i don't know about Singapore. may look uneven, but it is better if you conceal than leave it alone.

jal do wear stockings. so i don't know why they are so concern about body scars. maybe sharkie would like to answer this query.

don't worry about these actually. the more you worry, the more stress you are. then the more pimples will grow!!!

When they check, do they check with ur stockings on, or they require u to take them off?

Also, I tot we're supposed to wear skirts, not pants during the interviews? With black stockings?

By the way, I went to take the 4R pix today at a neighborhood studio. Forgot to bring a blazer/jacket. Ended up taking a pix wearing shirt with a skirt. Is it ok? And I did not tie or bun up my hair as it made my face look big and round. So ugly!! Just let my hair down and made doubly sure it's nice and neat. It's ok rite?

Hello Mooks.
I think Sharkie would agree with me if I say you are worrying too much

I am able to answer your questions now as my JAL friend (japanese) is beside me.

She said that there is no requirement whether to wear skirt or pants for interview.
note: when she went for interview, she wore mini skirt for 1st interview and jeans for 2nd interview

Yes, it is ok if you give a picture wearing shirt with skirt.
note: when my friend sent in her photo, she did not tie her hair either. but during the interview, they asked her to bundle up her hair just to see how she looks like.

hello! hope someone could help. it is stated in the requirement that FA needs to hv perfect eyesight. is it a must or contact lens is allowed?

contact lens is OK, but degree must not be too high. you must be able to see some even without contact lens.

Hee!! Thx loads emiko!! It's my first airline interview thingy so abit more blur abt things.. Thx for clearing things up tho sharkie and u!!

But i rmb someone mentioning that if casually dressed for the interview, there's almost no chance of getting the position. So must wear biz attire.. But ur fren gt thru wearing mini skirt and jeans.. Hmmm..

This one I don't know. you have to ask Sharkie about what she wore on the interview.

but the outline is like that:
1st interview: height and introduction (group of 5)
2nd interview: one to one interview
3rd interview: check body? not sure about this
-tea with management (there is elimination here)
then finally, sign contract

yes, it is good if you wear business attire. it means you are showing respect to the interviewer and also to the interview. STILL, it doesn't mean if you wear nice, they'll pull you through. other words, it doesn't mean if you wear something not nice, they'd not pull you through.

like i said, it all depends whether they like your face

just be confident but not over confident

thx emiko & sharkie for all your help !!!

any questions about cutoms etc just ask

my pleasure to help~
