SIA cabin crew

[Sokeai]

I'm undecided between black pants and black knee-length skirt... I wonder if they will be able to finish all rounds of interviews by the end of their wrkday tmr...

They are doing all 5 rds of interviews tml?

[Sokeai]

usually so for write-ins.. 4 rounds plus skin check. unless you finish really late, then it'll be another day.

[xmischax]

will all of you be wearing formal?

Oh, so the 4 rds will be all except the mgmt rd? I understand that the wct is phased out atm right?

Hmm, i think mine is considered semi-formal?

hilo.. whew.. made it but barely, I think.

starrynitezz.. I was surprised u didn't get thru.. u carry urself well, shd be able to la, I think it's just about figuring what the interviewers want this time round.. and honestly your forum pic doesn't do you any justice! gambate, ok! Can do it one!!

Alrighty, here's roughly what went on at the final interview today:

- 2 rooms, 1 pair of female interviewers, 1 pair of older male interviewers (I got interviewed by the men)

The male interviewers were all smiles and laughter, but they threw alot of curve balls.. sh*t-testing you to throw you off guard.. and that was scary coz you'd walk out of the interview room not knowing if you made it or not.. lol


What they seem to be looking for and will question you quite mercilessly on (as far as I know) :

- how adaptable you are
- knowledge of what being a cabin crew is about
- qualities you possess that would fit the job
- how realistic you are about the job and its less glam side (what goes on behind the scenes etc)
- ability to deal with customers
- ability to cope with politics and bullying (eg. asking what you would do if a superior instructed you to do something you knew was wrong)
- ability to do manual chores
- how serious/mentally prepared you are
- "What will you do if you don't get this job"
- "tell us about your family"
- what you think customer service is about
- name instances that show you take pride in providing service excellence


Especially for those with degrees or who may come across as having had a privileged life/lifestyle :

- ability to serve customers of a lower social status
- whether you do household chores
- how realistic you are about the job and its less glam side/politics (please don't tell/acknowledge negative stories about SIA)
- ability to take orders (basically testing if you are humble enough/willing to learn)
- how you react around large groups of strangers
- why you want to be an SIA stewardess
- how you would deal with superiors who are younger than you / less capable than you when faced with bullying



As with the usual pointers about how to "beat" these interviews, I suggest:

- Try to figure out if they're asking a new question, or just a continuation of the previous question... then think why they are asking this question, so you can figure out what their doubts are.. address those doubts. For eg, if they asked "tell us about your family" (let's say you describe an upper middle class family), then "do you do household chores", and "Are you aware of a cabin crew's duties other than serving?" ..you more or less get a clue that their doubt is about whether you are too pampered/sheltered to be able to perform on the job.. then you know how to answer appropriately.

- If the question is very general (eg. tell us about your family), try to answer in a way that tells them about your positive traits... for eg, something that would hint at good upbringing/discipline/maturity/ initiative/independence etc..

- Try not to give common answers unless you think you can make it sound interesting.. alot of ppl seem to have gotten shot down for that

- Don't be intimidated, take a few seconds to think if you need to, then answer with purpose. The quality/delivery of your answers seem to count alot.

Good luck 2 all!

hey everyone... congrats to those who made it today and i'm sorry to the babes who didn't.

starrynitezz: really thought you'd make it cos you look really pretty in the forum pic (read it doesn't do justice so you must be a super babe irl!) by the way i failed round 1 3 times and failed at kebaya the last time...

just spent a bomb getting bobbi brown blemish concealer and ettusais pore cover, it was sold out at scotts!

hope lady luck will be shining on us tomorrow...

Hey thanks for the info. I'm feeling soooooo nervous now hahaha. I think I'll go in slightly earlier tmr. You finish around 11am, that means non-stop right? Not like the walk-in lots of time wasted waiting?

[jassylolly]

who is going for tmr?
