At least 2 GCE ‘A’-level credits and 2 ‘O’-level credits including General Paper in the GCE ‘A’-level examination; or a Diploma from a local Polytechnic.
(Those with at least 5 GCE ‘O’-level credits, including English, and relevant working experience may also apply).

Yes you are right,a Diploma is good enough to apply as a FA for SIA.

Do you know that 98% of Pilots are Diploma holders.

Hihi everyone!I went for the SIA interview dis morning and boy was it packed to the brim!The queue was so long!I was lucky I got there at 9am and got the 10.30am slot for the group interview.

A few things I realised was SIA is very,and I mean VERY,concerned about the way a gal/guy presents her/himself so those trying out tmw,SMILE and be very CONFIDENT!Talk naturally and maintain eye contact with the interviewers and,if possible,if ur fellow interviewees.Outta 10 in my group only 4 of us got chosen so u can roughly imagine.

Another thing is dat SIA is also VERY concerned about paper qualifications.No point trying ur luck if u do not meet their minimum educational qualifications.They will just send u off.

And they also are VERY concerned about height.I got thru to the kebaya round but when I was measured as 157cm,the lady sent me packing.

Not trying to be a dampener on any aspiring SIA stewardess/stewards but SIA is terribly strict.Alittle more stricter than Emirates.I'll try stretching somemore and go for SIA again the next time coz I'm only short of 1 darn cm.Argh!*pulls hair from roots*

No harm trying though coz the experience will do anyone alot of good.At least u know if ur SIA material.Haha...Good luck for all those trying out tmw!:)

Hi desijoey,

The lady whom measured your height really send you back immediately?! That's strange, cos I got thr the Kebaya round during the July intake, and I'm only 156.5. The lady measuring my height was really nice though. And other girls below the mark also went thr the Kebaya..

Hi pinkpeace!Ya!the lady sent me packing as soon as she told me my height fell below their min requirement.I was quite shocked actually and said "alamak 1 cm!Cannot go thru?"She juz shook her head and said sorri...wah I felt so sad!It was a youngish malay lady...

that was for the july interview.. from what i heard of my fren the kebaya round not the same as in the julyone. now they have like cat walking as well as the carrying of the tray as of what some others have said at the beginning of the thread.
so they are really strict this time round

desijoey · Post by **desijoey** » Sat, 26 Aug 2006 9:37 pm

Yes yes dats true nana!Even the kebaya round was uber stressful!And outta 10 at the beginning of the interview,only 4 made it thru in my group to the kebaya round and and 2 (me included) made it pass the checking of educational qualification.After height measurement only 1 lady was left from my group.Abit KNS.I hope she goes thru though...

nana07 · Post by **nana07** » Sat, 26 Aug 2006 9:40 pm

im 157cm as well., so dun tink i will be lucky enuff to get through this time round.my friend's group onli 2 went thru the 1st round.

desijoey · Post by **desijoey** » Sat, 26 Aug 2006 9:42 pm

So stressful isn't it?I've a cousin who's undergoing training in SIA now and she's juz about my height...Maybe we can stretch abit more?Like swim and skip more ad then try again in the next intake?haha...dats the advice my parents gave me....:p

I think posters may find much of what is going on depends on how many staff the airline needs. Sometime back they quite obviously required more staff than normal and thus waived the normal strictness of requirements.

This may explain the not inconsiderable number of contradictions posted here. Desijoey, sorry you have been unlucky and hope you can find something to suit your wishes.

Plavt.

Hey Plavt thanks for ur consolation...It's perfectly fine with me as I know I can always try again for airline careers.It's juz a tad agonizing to know dat I din get thru coz I was only 1cm shorter than required.But it was a good experience and I urge all gals/guys to take dis opportunity to juz try it out.It's stressful but kinda fun and exciting at the same time.

Guess there's no harm trying for anyone ya?

disjoey,

I'm sorry for ur plight. If you refer back to ntyj's thread, she did mentioned that she's 157 and she got thru. I think it 's more or less on the luck thing you see. Her bf went today, I guess the elimination was kinda high, but the interviewer said like, those whu were rejected today can try again tmr. It's not that bad afterall, at least you won't have to wait till ike a couple of months later before the next intake.

Why not try again tmr man. Trick: the moment you step out of ur bed, stretch all you can. Cos' ur body tends to stretch the most after you wake up. I dunno how true, but you can try......

Good luck!!!

yup, today was kinda of strict. the elimination rate is high compare to the july walk-in.

but i don't think one can go back again tmr cos they will have ur records in their system.
