Anyways, from wat i observed rite...being able to speak good and fluent english helps alot during the interview. For eg, during round 1...where there's 10 ppl, i believe the main thing they are looking for is English language proficiency. And whether the candidate is confident speaking in front of public. Not so much of the answer u give or anything.

For the other rounds, there's nothing much i can say actually. It's just more of a question and asnwer thingy. But one of the things that u must get it across to them is dat - let them know that u r ready to leave home and m'sia. That nobody at home is dependant on u and that u could leave with a peace of mind. That's one of their main concerns. Then apart from that, if u got customer service experience...just try to elaborate on it n let them know u r really service-oriented.

Oh, n also...i'm not sure if it works, but maybe just try to paint a picture that u come from a mid-class family? As in like not very rich type...very average. I think they also wanna see if u really need this job...n in this case, money would b one of the driving factors for u to hold on to the job. This is just my own guessing...not sure if that's wat they are actually thinking. Haha!

So yea, dats about it actually. Hope it helps in a way or two. Hehe. Feel free to ask any questions...i'll answer to my best ability. All d best! :)
during the skincheck, did they use spotlight? n can we wear watch during the skincheck? congrats my dear...looking forward to be ur junior very soon..hehe..
Okay...sorry to spoil the mood ya but i think i forgot to mention that i'm a guy! Lolx!!! Coz this thread is basically filled with gurls...so sorry ya i'm the only guy around talking. Haha! But hey, u can still ask me questions...except for kebaya n skin check lah coz guys dun go thru those rounds. Lol!

So yea...sorry caryssa i cant help u on ur question. But...i THINK, just think lah...they didnt use a spotlight. Coz guys also went into that same room to do some walking for them to check our posture. I saw all the kebayas there but not any spotlights. I noticed that they were really lenient this time round for the gurls kebaya n skin check round. Most of them passed :)
haha..its ok my dear..i will ask my fren regarding the skincheck..n by the way, u have msn or frenster 12345?pm me yea...

hi caryssa & dream catcher!

i am the jas(jason) that eve mentioned about...i didnt get through the interview...sad :cry:

i was very nervous on that day n i think thats the reason why i didnt get through...i m the first guy to answer the interviewer question in a group of 10 males who enter the room together

there's only 1 interviewer as opposed to 2 that i thought...and the question is do you think being a man or a woman who has got more advantages??

most of my group incl me answer either 1 gender is better than another. but the 3 who got in answered both men and women are equal...i m not sure if the difference in answer will make any difference but they does appear confident(can see got abit nervous also la)

so in my opinion and after reading many threads in this forum i think confident is very very important....of course have to back up by reasonably good english also la...else the interviewer also dunno what u r talking about....haha

i will try the walk in @ spore on 27th jan but not sure if this is allow coz the interview dates are very close....still finding out..

Wow! U guys are really semangat to go all the way to singapore for the interview! Keep that enthusiasm and i'm sure u all would make it very soon!!! N just in case sum of u were wondering...u can go for the singapore walk in eventhough u've just attended the kl one recently. Coz as long as u guys didnt fail at management, they are not too particular.

Okie, anyways...i thought of just sharing my experience from the interview on sat. Well, i went there pretty early...at bout 8.30am. So it wasnt that crowded yet. Then at bout 8.40 the SIA staff all came walking in...and we were seated in a room. So i was allocated to grp 2 for the 1st round of interview. Question asked was : Give a brief (very brief) intro of urself n why u wanna join SIA?". Well, for this round...i felt that they are looking for sum1 who's confident and comfortable with speaking in public. Fluent english seems to be sum sort of a must...and, most importantly...keep ur answer short n sweet. Hehe. COz the lady interviewer reiterated to us that ur answer shud be brief. They want ppl to go straight to the point. 3/10 from my group passed.

Then, proceed to the next round where for the guys they wud ask u to walk to the end of the room n forth to the front where the interviewer is standing. For the gurls, its gonna be the kebaya n skin check round. So i shall elaborate abit more on wat happened for the guys. Haha! After walking back n forth, the lady wud ask u one or two ques. As for me, she knows that i've applied b4...so all she asked was wat did i do to improve myself. That's all. Haha. For the first timers, she wud ask them y do u wanna become a cabin crew...or sumthing along that line. Then after that, u gotta stretch out ur hand...where she just wanna check ur palms for any visible scars. So in my room of 3 guys, 2 passed.

After that, gonna proceed to 1-1. This is the round they wud talk to u more personally...trying to know u better. Basically, sum of the questions asked were : 1) Did i study overseas or locally? If studied locally, y didnt u go overseas? 2) Tell me sumthing bout ur family 3) Wat made u choose this job since u studied sumthing totally unrelated to this field? (in my case, i hold an accounting degree) 4) Wat r u doing now? 5) The job scope of ur present job 6) He gave me a customer service scenario 7) Are u aware that if u get this job, u'll be based in sg? 8) And finally, he gave me a passage to read

So if u managed to clear the 1-1, u would attend the final interview i.e. management interview. This round is actually very similar to the 1-1...just that some of the questions that they shoot to u could be more tricky and they wanna assess ur personality more. For my round, there were 2 ladies who were super duper nice ppl! I'm so thankful i got them as my interviewers :) Among the questions that they asked are: 1) tell me sumthing about urself and ur interest in this position 2) u mentioned that u r passionate about customer service. Tell me how do u manifest that passion 3) bcoz i said that i read alot about sia, they asked me wat r sum of the latest news regarding sia 4) Tell me sumthing bout ur family 5) If there is one thing that u were to improve bout urself, wat would it be 6) Tell me honestly, if u are not successful this time...wat do u think would be the reason? 7) How do u keep fit? 8) Are u aware that u have to be based in sg if u are successful? How would your family react to it?
Oh, n when i was talking...i noticed that they are always observing my gestures. A slightest move would catch their attention...am not too sure wat they are trying to get from it though. But i think just dun gesture too much...and try not to talk too loud too. Haha! Just keep everything natural and composed. The passing rate for management was about 85-90% i presume coz i didnt really count one by one. But its around there...hehe. So its really good news for every1 coz its rare to have such high passing rate for the management round. :)

Oh wells, my post is getting wayyy too long. Hope it didnt sound like bedtime story to u all. Lol!!! Just hope that it could help u guys prepare for the interview in one way or another. All d best to every1!!! U guys can do it!!! :D

Hey, I passed all the rounds. Now I have to do my medical check up. I kind of nervous of my medical check up. I afraid I can't get thru it.

I heard that quite a number of people failed in the medical check up in air asia, because of some sort of bacteria in the genital which is common among the ladies. But they have second chance to do the medical check up again after the bacteria is cleared.

One of my friend I met last time in the interview, told me that she get to the final round, but fail in the medical check up.

Anyone know what will they assess for the check up? If I fail the check up, am I given second chance again?

Hi Azurite,

I just went for the medical check-up on tues. Basically, they would first take ur urine and blood sample for tests. After that, u would be asked to go to a room for the chest x-ray. Then, a nurse would take ur height and weight, check ur eyesight and let u do a colour blind test. After all these, u just gotta wait for a while before the doctor calls u in for a physical examination. He/she would ask u a little bit bout ur medical history...on whether u have anything to declare etc. The doc would also take ur blood pressure and check ur eyes, nose and ear. U will also be examined for any growths on ur body.

Basically that's about it. I heard from one of the nurses there that if there's something wrong with our report, the clinic would usually call us up to go for a second test to confirm it. So, would be praying that everything goes on smoothly :)

Yea...i think its mainly to check for HIV n other stuff. Coz they wud ask u to sign a consent form allowing them to test ur blood for HIV. I think they wun check on cholestorol, diabetes n all since we r not required to fast.
