Saudi Arabia Airlines Interview :: CHECKED

Hoooohaah everyone! As per mentioned in my title, I have went to Saudi Arabia Airlines Interview last Saturday. That was totally a rushy yet kelam kabut interview I have never attended before. OMG. The interview was held in Time Square Hotel but I was completely lost my direction to get myself there. Luckily I asked some people and able to get there on time at last. But before proceed to the actual interview, I would like to talk about my PRE- SCREENING INTERVIEW which was held in Penang Inter Excel Office. You need to pass the pre-screening interview only you can proceed to the actual one.

So the time I went for Pre-Screening in Penang Inter Excel Office was late as I couldn't manage to find their office even GPS is working with me all the way. I met a gorgeous lady there and I believe that she is one of the in charge person in Inter Excel Office. I passed my resume and all the details needed as they mentioned in email and had some semiformal interview session with her. She just asked me why I want to join the airline and need me to talk more about the airlines information. But FRANKLY, I did quite bad that time since I didn't prepare any homework. And then she checked my skin condition, any scars on my arms, my height and my weight. She did checked my education qualification as well. After done all the checking, she immediately said I was short listed. I was like :O so fast? But pretty excited that time since I manage to pass the pre-screening. 

So to be honest, I really did quite worst performance in the actual interview although it would be the easiest gateway to enter the airlines this industry! Quite regret for not being well-prepared especially their company backgrounds and all that. I should have practice at home since their questions are really very simple to be answered and if you have prepared well in home sure you could do that. So before you proceed to the actual interview, you need to prepare the following documents:

1. Your Application Form ( You can get there and fill in there)
2. Updated Resume ( English Version)
3. 2 Passport Size Photos and 2 Full Length Size Photos
4. Your Photocopied Passport and IC
5. Your Photocopied Education Certificates

Make sure arrive on time while they hate late comers who are not punctual on their appointment. Then you need to register and pass your documents to them. The interview process was just so simple and it was not as complicated as other airlines while you just need to go through one stage for 5-10 minutes and this 5-10 minutes would determine your destiny in coming few years. So just be relax although hard to do so XD Then all you need to do was just wait patiently at the same time you can chat with other candidates to exchange experience! It was important since you can know all the secret behind some airlines as some of them are ex-cabin crew for particular airlines! I was called by a receptionist there and she reminded me to do touch up more especially tie my hair neatly T^T Another of my new friend Shyma she said my make up was too light :O But I really put on make up but everyone thought either I didn't wear or wear light make up on that day. Sad case indeed because I am really not good in grooming myself :/ So before entered the interview room, the girl reminded me to do more about my hair since it looks messy. ARghhhhh..My confidence level dropping down all of sudden but anyway thanks for her remind :) 

Before the interview session begin, there was a brief session where a HR department person was being assigned to brief us about what we need to do on the next session. We did height and weight check at the same time as well. But I really need to inform a bad news to who having height below 160 cm, they WON'T take you, seriously. Because there were a few girls under 160 cm were being asked to go back before the interview was really started. What a waste was, one girl with 156 cm seemed well prepared and fully groomed herself. And she was not given a chance to attend the actual interview and I believe she came all the way from somewhere far. So luckily I passed on this stage as I am worried about my BMI is too low for them since my weight only 47 KG. I knew mostly the foreign country airlines like middle east they don't prefer skinny girl.

So I am the 3rd one to go in. Not really nervous outside the interview room but once I step in the room, nerve wrecking begin. We just need to hold our IC card to go inside. 

1. 1st Step: After you heard the ringing bell means that it is your turn. You can knock on the door and go in. 
2. Stand at the middle front of interviewers as per mentioned in briefing before, greetings them with cheerful voice and KEEP SMILING is a must-do-thing once you step in the room.
3. Start your cat walk. I have no opinion about this since my cat walk is urhh uhmm. BAD. The cat walk is about square shape throughout the room and you need to greet them every time you stop by.
4. They will ask you to take a seat. Then you said thank you and take your seat on the chair which is in the middle of the room. ( You need to face towards them as well as the super huge WINDOWS and the sunlight will be shining bright on you and your body. Don't pile your foundation on your face so. )
5. Greet them again. They would ask you to introduce about yourself and you could say everything about yourself since you was young until now. ( If I am not wrong, my English listening is not really good. But do remember TALK MORE in this stage, it is the best time to present yourself more. )
6. Second question would be: Why you want to become a cabin crew and why you choose our airline instead of other airlines.

To be honest my answer was like shyttttttttttt at all. Unacceptable T^T. Besides, I talked very less when they asked me to introduce myself. They wanted more I think. Since they keep looking at me and waiting for me to continue. When I had nothing much to say, they asked: thatsit? and I felt nervous and answer yes! I SHOULD HAVE TALK MORE! What a golden chance that I had missed. and when they ask me why I want to be a cabin crew and why choose them, my answer was ....T^T * cried face * I really regret for saying " being cabin crew was my dream, uhmmm..I like this job so much..I was being a waitress in a cafe...I like to deal with different kind of people, hmmmm... my current job scope need to deal with customers from different country...errrrr...". I stammered too much! JUST TOO MUCH! It was like a noob answer ever, ain't sure they understand my answer or not since my pronunciation not really accurate. REGRETTT..for not being well prepared.

But anyway, after the interview I was so relieve since I have been in tension condition all the time and never take in any food to fill my stomach that day. I could feel the cold inside the room until shaking my hands and leg non-stopping. I felt confused that time. I am worried to get the Golden call because my life will be totally changed and I am gonna leave my loves one to Jeddah. But at the same time I wish to get this job since the salary is attractive enough for me to take the job. But at the end I didn't get any response means I was FAILED in this interview by the way. >.<

Get a little bit tired after this interview. Time to have some real rest in terms of physically and mentally since going KL all the way from IPOH alone was really not an easy task especially I am not familiar with KL. I don't know about the path and the building location at all and all I can do is just keep asking the passer-by. Should I give up? I think no...Maybe it is not the time yet..I still can keep trying before I reach 30 teeheee...Still have 5-7 years more for me to try.

Nevertheless, I should mentioned some great people that I have met during my interview! They made my journey not lonely anymore! Millions thanks to them who treat me like a young sister and take care of me all the time :') Appreciate alot alot to both of you Shyma and Chia Chia..

Hope we all have bright future onwards and our dream may come true in one day~~

SIA Cabin Crew Interview 2013

Yay! Finally got something to be posted up here..no more mumbling..this is an useful post guys!

Pertaining to the title above, I went to SIA cabin crew interview that was held in Ipoh Tower Regency Hotel last Saturday.. That was a great great great experience that I never had. So I am gonna marked it down and do some sharing here. Especially for those people out there who wish to get this position in SIA. Hoping my post can help you a little bit. HAHAHA

For your information I coudn't get into second round. Yay I got eliminated on first round. Such a killer round that I totally have no idea what they actually want. XD Even good looking people were eliminated in this round by them as well :O

So I reached there around 9am. The registration actually started at 9am sharp. But I went there a little bit late since I didn't manage to tie my hair neatly. As my expectation when I reached there I saw a lot a lot of people there. EXPECTED. So I just find a seat and wait patiently. At the moment an Indian girl was trying to talk to me. Her name is Rugaya if I am not remember wrongly >.< She was just finished her SPM and 19 years old ( I felt myself was old =__=). She told me that she came here just to gain experience and this was her first time. As we chit chatting the time flew so fast and soon is our turn already. We were grouped into 10 people in a group and were brought to another room. Before entered the room we need to hand out our application form ONLY. So in the second room you just have to wait your name to be called out, and my group is Group 16. So if one group has 10 people, then there were 160 people in front of me. hmmm still okay for me cos I expected even more since I came late but don't know why I am much faster being assigned into a group.

When I was waiting in second room, I met Ken. A 26 years old guy travel all the way from Penang and trying to chat with me. So I gave him response as well at the same time to ease my tension. After being called out he wished me luck then I was brought to the 3rd room, with Rugaya in my group as well. In Group 16, a guy who named Wilson take his initiative to talk to me. AND HE WAS THE PERSON WHO GAVE ME A LOT OF KIND ADVICES. Although at the end I am not manage to get any contact from him, but I am still grateful to know him. As he told me, being cabin crew was actually his dream since he was young. He was being rejected a few times due to his age. He is 30 years old when he went for his 2nd interview for SIA last Saturday. He is a pharmaceutical sales person and travel all the way from KL just to pursue his dream! Although he told me that actually the chance was very limited but he still want to give a try. Before almost our group turn, he was very nervous and nerve-wrecking, I tried to calm him down. He ask why I seems not nervous at all, but actually wanted to tell him that talking to him had eased a lot my tension LOL Besides, I am not really into this job position and I just want to take a look how would be the interview conduct. Just CURIOSITY brought me here.

When is our turn, I found that Wilson did really well in his speech and was well prepared. The question was: If you have the chance to lunch with someone everyday, who is the one you choose? and WHY?

There were two pretty twin sisters in my group as well. In my opinion, one of them answer so so only but another one did quite well and natural performance among the group members. But both of them also didn't manage to get in. As well as Wilson! I could see his disappointed face when he came out from the room! Wilson really did a great talk which able to grab interviewer's attention. Another girl from Kampar KTAR and she did really bad speech since her grammar was even worser than me =..=. So the result came out and 10 of us also didn't make it in this round. The whole group being eliminated. =___=

And my answer was my father, a quite common answer but I felt myself not bad since what they said is I looked so calm without nervous and no stammer at all =.= FIRST TIME EVER . My guess is, the reason I couldn't make it is because of my attire and visible scars on my knee. Probably my braces as well. Since when I stand up and start my answer, the lady interviewer was looking at my bottom part. I am not sure whether she was looking at my skirt or leg. But I think my attire could not be able to satisfy her and my answer was just too common :/

From what I have observed, actually I have gained some experience throughout the interview session.

First, get a proper business attire and well groomed. I did observe those who can get into next round, most of them with a proper and formal make up, well grooming, and dress with business attire. And there is always exception as well. I saw a group with a few heavy make up, proper business attire girl being booted out in first round as well, only one lady made it who just dress simple attire (casual formal only), wear light make up and merely tie up her hair without bun it. She was in. :) So the lesson here telling us, do wear a proper make up which is suitable your characters, not overly, able to reveal your good disposition. Dress with moderate attire which can fit your body shape perfectly ( to show your body line is a MUST). And the last thing is keep SMILING. 

When going into the room, walk gently and smile. And you must be looked CALM even you are not. For the speech session I don't really know what is their specification and requirement since talk too well and much also not manage to make it in my group. Talk moderately also not make it. :/ Soooooooo...this I am really not sure. I can only tell is make your appearance look outstanding yet moderate (humble perhaps?) Don't try to wear a sharp color attire to grab interviewer's attention but look inappropriate on you. Try to make yourself look simple, clean, neat but with great disposition to grab their eyes. From my point of view, for the first round it only takes not more than 5 minutes to introduce yourself, hence, I think appearance and impression are the first most concern issue for them instead of the way or content you speak. As long as you don't stammer too much or talk stupid thing, then you might get pass if your appearance make them feel comfortable ;) Presentable is the Key Word. But if everyone also looks presentable, then make yourself special.

Soooooooooooo...conclusion is: I couldn't make it as well why talk so much?! tee hee

But there will be second time I think :) I am currently interested in Air Asia since Wilson said they give very well pay as well. I won't give up until 25 years old. I am just gonna try and try and try since one interview can return me tonnes of experiences. and I could see that my English had improved as well since I am managed to talk to people in English fluently without stammer. This is true. I used to talk like shit in English whenever having conversation with others. Low Self Confidence. But now had improved a little bit since I can have a quite good and clear conversation with Wilson, and interviewer in MURATA. At least they can understand what I am trying to express and I do get their meaning as well :) A Good Start!

That's all for my post. Gonna hit my pillow earlier and tomoro continue fight for my life.

Online Business...COMING SOON LIAO LA...

GOODNIGHT PEEPS!!
