I’m joining SIA as a Flight stewardess. =)

Summary of the interviews i've attended.. 5 rounds in total.

________________________________________________________________________

1 Dec 2007 - walk-in interview at sheraton towers.

There was already a long queue when we arrived at 930am. the first thing was measurement of height and weight, before we proceeded for the rest.

1^st round – Group of 10 girls and 2 interviewers.

We waited from 9am to 12pm before we managed to arrive at the ist round, imagine my hunger. Anyway we were told to give a self-intro, our hobbies and the reason we want to be in SIA. Thus one by one, we stood up and spoke. Omg that was nerve-wrecking! I trembled! And nothing new, I made a fool outta myself. Instead of saying something inspirational, I said something silly. everybody in the room laughed, including the supposedly stern interviewers. =P perhaps it was a blessing in disguise. somehow, i got through.

3 out of 10 passed..

2^nd round –

Stage 1: Kebaya walk

We were told to grab a set of kebaya and changed within 5 mins. one by one, we walked to and fro towards a lady who screen me tip to toe. afterwhich she asked a few questions.

Stage 2: Skin check

We were made to stand under a bright beam of light; another lady did a thorough check on the face, neck, and hands. Anyway, yep same thing, a few questions were posted.

4 out of 10 got thru.

3^rd round –

One to one interview with the hr executive.

Questions asked include:

1. Tell me about yourself.

2. Why do you want to join SIA?

3. What do you think you can contribute to SIA?

4. What do you know about SIA?

5. What is customer service?

6. Name the 4 states that SQ flies to.

7. You will be away from family and friends, how do you handle this?

8. What do you see yourself in 5 years time?

A few scenarios cases were given:

e.g: a drunken passenger asked for more beer, what will you do?

Lastly, i was given a passage, and i have to stand and read.

6 out of 10 got thru.

4^th round – one interviewee with 2 interviewers from the management level. (1 Caucasian man and an Asian lady)

Questions asked were almost similar to the 3^rd round but they queried more on my family. Perhaps they just want to ensure my family is supportive and I do not have other unnecessary issues.

6 out of 10 got thru.

5^th round – medical checkup and some questionnaires. 4 out of 5 successful.

The 4 months training will commence on 16 Jan 2008. I’m extremely excited yet intimidated by stories I’ve heard.

Now a week more before I come to an end with Pfizer Clinical Research Unit (PCRU).
It became a dilemma ever since I got the job. I'm really looking forward to it regardless of the outcome, at least I know I have tried and I have no regrets. Despite the considerable push factor, there are still emotional concerns - People whom i will miss and memories that i will reminisce.

Aw~ enough said.. The more I say here, the more I miss my job...

I sincerely appreciate all the wishes and advices.

I will still be myself, i will, and i have to. i will still be the shandy you know. i promise.
