silkair interview

[hzs10]

Sia has applicants coming in the hundreds. When I went for my silkair interview, which I went at 2pm, there were only 3 groups so far. I failed sia twice and got booted out really early so I'm surprised I got all the way to medicals with silkair.

Is the interview like sia interview got 5 stages? Would u mind to share the whole process? Thanks

I'll talk about the silk air one then? Since the sia interview process is quite infamous already.

So for silkair, you enter a small room that has full wall mirrors on 3 walls. There are 2 groups of 10 chairs. One group is where you wait to be called to the front so they could check your certs and they'll ask you some questions eg. notice period. Then you sit in the other group. They'll wait till they get enough people in 1 group before moving into another room for the group interview.

Before the group interview, everyone will be called and asked to line up, to get your height measured and do the reach test. During the group interview, they just asked us to introduce ourselves and also tell why you want to be a cabin crew. For some, especially crew or ex-crew of other airlines, they'll ask more questions when it's your turn.

After that, we went outside the room and waited for the lucky ones who moved on the next round. Around 5 minutes to wait.

Then you proceed to yet another room for uniform fitting. Some people get to choose the uniform size, others the staff will choose for you. Then just do a normal walk back and forth and then they will check you for scars and any weird stuff - arms, legs, neck, back?

Then an interviewer will take you into a room for a 1-to-1 interview. This is like a normal interview I guess?

For some, the management round will be on the day itself, others on a different day.

During management, there will be 3 interviewers. You will all be seated with some space between applicants and interviewers. One by one, you'll be called to the front and asked various questions. And that is all. While it is another person's turn, it is common courtesy to give all your attention to them. I was sitting beside this rude boorish girl who couldn't read the situation. I don't know how she got through. She was yawning, fiddling with her purse, rolling her eyes etc.

At the end, one interviewer will speak and talk more about the company and you are also allowed to ask questions. I was told the take home pay was in the range of 2.5k to 3k. People I know say otherwise???

Within the next few days you'll receive an email about going for medicals and that is pretty routine. They checked your hearing, blood pressure, lumps in the breasts, spine etc.

And then you just wait for the magical day.

I know exactly how you feel. I applied for sq 3 years ago right after uni. After failing twice, I received a job offer and I've been working at my current job for 3 years now. But I've always wanted to be a cabin crew. I never thought of silk air until recently because silk air has no layovers. BUT now they've got 1. Just 1. Which is Cairns, Australia. I actually applied for scoot last year but didn't do their video interview because I had second thoughts - the uniform and the low pay. My sister recently got into silk air after tagging along with her friend. She had no intention to join but got in anyway (her friend was out at the first round). I really was adamant to apply for a "budget" airline so I applied for silk air.

I do want to know though, if they will get back to you regardless of the results. Because I haven't heard from them since medicals. I heard they take weeks to get back to you.

I applied for scoot also! Havent do their video interview. Planning to do after tmw's interview. Igraduated from uni last year and have been looking for job till now and b4 i graduate i ard wanted to become a cabin crew but i know it is hard. However i have stay firm and decided to apply until i am successful!

Btw layover is u get to stay in that country u fly to for a few days? Silkair only do turnaround flight? Do u know scoot do only turnaround or they do have layover also? Sorry for so many qns. Btw all the best for the result! Hope u get in! Last qns! So ur sis in a cabin crew in silkair or still trainee?

[mzchoccie]

Yeah layover means you stay in that country. I don't know how many days. Silk air is mostly turnarounds. I heard for their layovers they don't share rooms. Scoot has layovers but you share a room.

[Joanne520]

I'm going to interview silkair on 28th August 2015 but I'm not sure they want to recruit Malaysian citizen or not ? Anyone know??

[sam 123]

Hi,

Any joined the Silkair interview on 26th feb? Did you guys receive any calls or emails from silkair regarding your pre-employment medical checkup on 2nd March?

They said will notify the result of medical checkup within 2 weeks.
BUT, till now I haven't receive any calls and email from them.
I have tried to email them, but no reply.

Can anybody know what's happening?

FYI, Im a Malaysian, is it take more time to proceed the document? (due to working permit?)

hi dear it actually is a cut-off flying per hour. so once u hit 51 hours it will be $8/hr for that one hr. so if u have 75 hrs, it will be 50x5 =250 plus 25x8= 200.
hope that helps!
