how did you answer for the casino question?

you mean they asked the same question to everybody?
I've got to put my two cents in on this. They ask the question, not to know what your opinion is, or to see if you come up with the "right" answer, they ask you the question to see if you can think on your feet. What difference does it make how niza answered the question? The only answer that matters is the one you would make. If you are standing there looking dopey while trying to remember how you were "supposed" to answer the question, you will not look nearly as good as simply being spontaneous... what do YOU feel, what do YOU think... and do you have the confidence and charm to say it with warmth.

Besides, the next time, the question might be, "Should Singapore participate more in tsunami tracking efforts?"

When I told him I want to try SIA, he's supportive but disappointed at the same time because he thought he could join me in Melbourne as soon as possible. If I succeed in my application for SIA, I won't be able to go to Melbourne unless my contract has ended which is about 22 months! am confused........should I? should I not?

If u're still hesitating, just go ahead n try the Jul intake (if there is). If there's no intake, go Melbourne...If there is and u get in, worry abt that later....


Yeah I guess so. Worry about it later........I hope there will be a july intake. No harm trying right? hehe......Yes it's true that true love is very hard to find. My bf and I have been together for 2 and a half years......we've known each other for 5 years. We email everyday. He's scottish and am Malaysian-chinese......both university students.so I guess for a long distance relationship to last that long, it aint that easy. Of course I don't wanna disappoint him......he's been working hard so that he can continue his Masters degree together with me in Melbourne. But of course, he's always supportive in whatever I choose to do. "as long as you're happy, I want you to be happy" he says. Will see how it goes hehe.........

hi,

yup, my friend's cousin is 40 years old now. cos she look young, doesn't look like 40 years old at all, she look like in her early 30s. maybe that why's she can still fly. but she is going to retire soon cos she has a family to take care of.

and as for keisha questions. the age limit that SIA and silkair stated in their recruitment: age 25,
they are for the foreign crew. foreign stewardesses need to be 25 and below.

but for local stewardesses , the age is up to 29 years old. unless they decided to change their age limit for the current intake, i am pretty sure local stewardess age limit is 29 years old.

if not, you can email them and ask them the age limit since they do not put the age limit out in their local stewardess recruitment.

i know people who are being recruited as stewardess, age, 26, 27 and 28.

so for those who are out there who are age 26-29, no harm trying.

all the best! :)

yah, btw. SIA do have girls flying age above 30. most of the chief stewardess are around age 30 and above.

there are some few chief stewardess who are around age 28-29, but very few. unless they started flying at a very young age.

normally SIA have girls flying till age 36 and they got to stop flying. but if your performance is good and you are a chief stewardess or in-flight stewardess, and plus u still maintian your looks, they will continue to let you fly.

above are the info i get from people who are wilth SIA.

thanks

My fren is working as a cabin crew now. Her age is 26 by that time SIA hire her (last year) n I think her height is below 158cm bcos she is shorter than me a lot as Im only stand at 159cm...

Dun worry bout those big or small moles at ur face cos I saw one of d crew aso having a big moles at her chin. Not all cabin crew is pretty but d ability to speak a good english is more important. :wink:

don't worry, just go for it, apply for the job. u will never know what happen, becos the standard depends on each individual recruitment.

one moment, they accept girls shorter than 158cm , one moment they accept girls who are big size, etc.

went to the airport yesterday to send a friend off, we saw lotsa of SIA girls. and indeed some are pretty, but we also saw quite a few who are short, between 157cm to 158cm and some are even have round faces with double chins! and some very average-looking girls too. and most of them have big, curvy butts, and they look nice in the kebaya!

so, go for it! give it a try!

hope you don't mind answering these questions as well...

1) firstly, how old you are?

2) how old were the girls who passed the rounds just like you? anyone 25 and above?

3) also, what's your height and your qualifications?

4) lastly, how did you manage to conceal those scars on your neck and back? cause you were saying in your earlier posts that you have scars in the same areas as me right?
1.i am 20years old this year
2.for my grp, the oldest is 23 i think.
3.i stand at 168cm. i m a polytechnic graduate.
4.i put tons of concealer and loose powder. i managed to conceal it on that day surprising. so no prob at all.

do the beautician/interviewer check the insides of the kebaya for all interviewees? if no, under what circumstances will they not do so?
because i have a tatoo at my lower back and your last entry got me a little worried... :(
i duno but so far all my friends they encountered the same situation as me. the interviewers will ask u to turn around dan pull back the kebaya top and look into ur back. i duno what they are looking for. but those who managed to clear the kebaya check in my grp are gals w/o tattoos because we asked around. they might be looking for scars or wat? i have no idea. but if u manage to reach the water confidence test round, than wear one piece swimsuit, just in case.

hope the above helps!
niza,

you mean SIA actually checks our backs? so, what if you don't have tattoos but you have pimple scars scattered over your back? what is the possibility of passing the rounds?

i thought they only check on the skin that is not covered by the kebaya? why do they still check our backs?
seriously i have no idea why they did that but luckily my back is scar-free. so quite alright.

Becky, for Malaysians, the standards are different. Your private school diploma is recognised. This is only for Malaysians. Your SPM English must be good score.

Good luck!
