SIA cabin crew

[MirageBomb]

Hi all.. went for the Dec 1 walk-in interview, was in group 73 (hmm, did I remember right? lol).. only 3 gals frm my grp incl me got thru, and at least 1 gal didn't pass the 1-1 on Fri 7 Dec... not sure about the other gal, but heng heng I did... started to get anxious a couple of days ago coz still no word on the final interview..

My steward friend more kan cheong than me... rang me on Fri to say that his friend, who went for the 2nd round interviews on the same day as I did, already went for the final interview earlier that day. He was particularly concerned coz he heard that the woman who was supposed to e-mail me was on leave.

Think I should try to get in touch with SIA on Mon? And.. how long do you think they *usually* take to get back on those final interview details? Kancheong-ness, very infectious.

edit:

aiyoz... i still din get any reply for e management interview leh... should i email them??

i emailed the other day and the reply was the mgmt might be on the 26 Dec, btw i think the person in charge is away coming back 19 Dec only..

Oh wait.. I just found o2's reply. -_-" hyuck hyuck. Thanks for the tip, O2. Everything suddenly makes much more sense *holy sound fx*

They will check things like:
Urine test
Eyesight
Colour Blindness
Blood pressure
Breast lump
Some Q&A

I think that's about it.

n Xray to check your lungs too!

Primary check for chest xray is to check lungs function. but somehow they do look at ur backbone/spine as well.. one of the criteria for SIA is to have straight spine, else less than 20 degrees if curved. i'm one of the unfortunate few.. i was called back for a repeat xray for my back, as they wanna check if i have scoliosis (curved spine) and to measure the degrees. however during the second xray, i actually pestered the doc to reveal the results to me there and then! =) and i was told "no scoliosis at all! you must have been not standing straight during the first Xray!" i was relieved yet heart aching at the same time... cos.. for repeat Xray, you need to fork out $150 from ur own pocket. =( sob... so lesson learnt. stand straight during the chest xray! =)

hi,

u mean if first xray they found out that ur spine is crooked, they will ask u back for review? and u need to pay for 2nd time?

im very worried abt my medical...do u know roughly hw long will they call us ?:(

I have seen quite a few stewardess with your condition before, well I think it depends on the mood of the one conducting the check on that day...

[hellokittylove]

thanks for all your well wishes!!

ive made it thru !
anyway , can some kind soul tell me what will be checked on during the medical test?

Hi hellokittylove,

Congrats!!!Btw can i ask u hows the dropout rate today? The interviewers and how many guys got thru???

thanx and all the best on ur medical!!!

hi all,

drop out rate was 40-50% it was really sad, those who didn't make it got to go to the next room with the HR lady, and she will tell you to try again.

i think there were about 20 of us. but i left STC after briefing, i was among the earlier slot.

[hellokittylove]
