hi everyone...

can anybody suggest whereabout areas to stay so that it's going to be convenient to go to STC? I've gathered some info,some say Tampines,Simei,and of course Changi areas.But a cousin of mine suggested Xingang which has direct bus route as all mentioned areas do not have bus routes to STC. Any comments will be much appreciated!!!!

Oh one more...I checked rental fee from this forum,assume I must prepare $600-$800 approx if I share with other 2 girls.*sigh* just wondering...could i get cheaper ones? assume prices published in the internet would be higher than agents on spot.but anyway...all comments are very welcome!!!! heard also that we have to pay 3 months in advance when we agree to rent an apartment...gosh.....that's a lot of money

tenah merah. it's about 15mins from where i'm living. bus 24 is direct and you just need to cross the road when you reach the stop opposite stc.

Hello... I'm new here. Excited yet nervous about the interviews this weekend. Not sure what to expect except that candidates are expected to be articulate and pleasant looking. From what I've read, it is recommended that the ladies dress in light colours. Drats... I was actually thinking of wearing black. Is there a particular reason why light colours are preferred? My hair is long and I do not intend to have it up for the interview. I have decided to go for a manicure on Fri. I guess in this interview, the first round is about presentation and presentation only. I hope I'm right! If I'm not, someone, please correct me.

In my own opinion,there's nothing wrong to wear dark suits.I wore white shirt,black pants and black blazer for the interview.I didn't even tie my hair.But I guess I was lucky to pass...As suggested by some girls here...Perhaps it's wise if you tie up your hair,you will look more professional then.It's basically about how you bring yourself gracefully and confidently.After all these waiting,I just realise that they pay each and every details of you from the time you enter the waiting room.It's a good idea to get yourself 'known' but don't make it too much (they might think ur attention seeker). Instead,smile all the time. As u might have known,its only about presenting urself in front of 2-3 interviewer.Make sure you impress them,how? From your appearance...ur manicure idea is great, put light make-ups, make urself as professional as u can.Then,when u speak,make sure u speak confidently..No giggling! Thus,u must prepare very well what you want to say. I hope u succeed!!!!

Thank you! I guess I should work on what I'm going to say to the panel.

Doors will open at 9a.m. What time are you ladies planning to arrive??

missmyhivy,

Questions: How long did you have to wait before you got to the panel of interviewers?
What happened after that?
Are you already flying with SIA?

So many questions. Since you've already been there, you now possess a wealth of information. Thank you!!

missmyhivy,

yeah man. I really can't imagine that 'scene'. It'd it hilarious. Yay. we're batchmates. I'll see you and cowie at STC on the 25th den.

I received the grooming standards as well. I recall I do have many office wear, but, there's alot of printed stuffs where they said that it's not allowed or not appropriate. Gonna spend money buying those business-attire man..

ha ha.

There's like 3 more weeks to go. But i'm feeling the anxiety now...

haha...

Congrats to those who gt selected !!! : )) HAPPY flying & take good care!!

i have a question for those who got selected..are u guys able to speak foreign languages or experienced in customer service? i am really afraid because i do not know any foreign languages and have never worked in my life..for the exception of "holiday jobs"..like selling christmas cards n stuff..i be graduating in january..will only get my diploma cert in february..so i guess i'll work in some customer service line..i am very sure that the interviewers will ask questions like whether i have any knowledge in customer service..it be a total waste if i say NO..i am sure once i reply NO, they might nt be interested to continue with the interview...lol..cuz its stated clearly that PREFERENCE will be given to candidates who are able to speak foreign languages or are experienced in customer service..

THANKS alot, xmischax. thank you for the assurance. : ))

hello. ohh no problem, that was nothing

i can speak french, and i`ve been working in the customer service line since i graduated from sec sch in dec2005.

don`t worry so much, be confident in yourself and give it a try! they state that they prefer candidates who can speak foreign languages and are experienced in customer service, but they did not say that you have to fulfill that criteria. i`m sure not all stewardesses are able to speak foreign languages too, it`s just an advantage. so don`t worry so much, as long as you meet the minimun requirements, go for it! the more you worry, the less confident you are. and when it comes to interviews, confidence is very important. if you don`t even think that you yourself will make it, how can you convince the recruiters that you are the one they are looking for, right?

Wow..that is AWESOME!! u can speak french plus u have the knowledge in customer service..u go girl!! lol..im really happy for u..i mean at least u worked hard n got in! so that goes to show i can do it too! lol..i am going to take ur advice and stop worrying too much about the whole thing..its driving me Crazy. Oh true, CONFIDENCE is the secret......! shhhh..thanks, ya'll. : ))

heh i`m not in yet! i haven`t even went for any interview. i will when i am almost graduating from sp. (:

anyways, what cowie said was right. what`s the point of worrying for the 2nd interview when you haven`t even went for the 1st, right? take things one step at a time and just do your best. worrying will only make you more nervous. alright?

thanks a million! well, i guess i should put a stop to my uneccessary wories !..i really really hope that there be a recruitment drive in february!..goshh..it be awesome! at least, i be all set n ready..lol...thank alot peeps!! )

you`re most welcome just go and do your thing! even if you`re not going for this interview, that`s alright, they`ll sure have more recruitments in future.

[xmischax]

cowie & koko77,

I do not noe how to explain to you. When i wanted to go. I comtemplated a hell lot. Cos' I didn't wanna waste my time.. so i missed interview after interview...

until i was totally prepared, (to fail) I went. And to my surprised, yeah. things went smoothly... I did preparation like no one did... I even memorised the script and make it sound so natural. Awww.. I was awesome. LOL.

Hey. Now study hard man. I hope one fine day, you could tell me that you got in!

Maybe if you got time, you should go. Then can be like an eye-opener of some sort. Call it the art of polishing the interview... perfectly. If you don't get in, you know what's it about cuz u already experienced it. Then again.. but if you do... hmmm...
