i would like to ask whether is the swimming test done individually or in a group? Do we have to be in swimming costumes? well... actually i have a very big red colour birth mark on my right tigh so i am wondering whether will they disqualify me just because of that?
steph: itz done in a group. when i had mine several years back, we had to jump individually for a single lap, and then abt 10 ppl at the same time for the second run.
if the birthmark can be fully covered by the uniform, i dont think it will pose any problems at all.
stewardness, i am 22 this year, i am really afraid to go try because of my blemishes on my face, for the kebaya test, or maybe even the first round i will be kick off.
Is it really true that all SIA gals have really nice face complexion?
piggie: yes itz a must. but make up can do wonders. if itz still obvious, then i think u might have to do something abt it first if u are really keen to join.
Just curious, but how often do they call for steward applications? They seem to be calling for stewardesses quite often these days but rarely for stewards.
jaytea: true.. the intake of stewards seems to be on the low side nowadayz. but in any case, just send a letter to the recruitment dept and they'll advise u on the recruitment period. the days of walk-in interviews are over as they said that if the applicant would make the effort of sending in their letter, it shows genuine interest. and i think it gives them an opportunity to gauge ur command of english and it would not waste their time interviewing many and having to send most of them out.
I am stewardess, come from Europe, live in Singapore and want to apply too...
Do you think there is any opportunity for an european caucasian girl to work as a cabin crew in Singapore?
mag3: SQ recruits only asian cabin crew. as far as i know, they are not gonna change that policy, being an asian airline. but i would still advice u to write in to the recruitment dept as i cant give an official word abt it coz i dont have the rights to do so.
people would not be the main problems to me, but just one SWIMMING section. Is the swimming test is one of the interview steps or after been accepted then only they ask the candidates to swim? I hope i still have more time to learn IF after accepted by them
the swimming/water confidence test is done during the interview. failing to swim will result in rejection for the post. u have to be able to swim to get in. but as i had mentioned in an earlier posting, itz not as hard as it seems.
try learning how to swim before u attempt.
dont take my word without confirming it with the company. i'm just a flying crew and itz just to the best of my knowledge. and i'm not senior enough in the airline to give u the best advice abt it. but if any of u wishes to find out from me, i wouldnt mind helping out getting information that are available to me. i rarely read postings, so it would be easier to email me at
szulkarnain@msn.com if i dont reply here.
cheers..
