Malaysia Airlines Cabin Crew Walk-in Interview Part 3

1st Nov 2008, again.. i reached MAS academy for my 3rd and final stage of interview.. It was a really tiring day~ I was waited at there since 9am to 12noon only got my turn for the 3rd stage interview.. and i was sooo sooo hungry. Luckily, my fren, pooi mun brought some oat crackers and willing to share some with me. If not, i think i might be feeling very miserable there with the feeling of starving and super cooling environment there. *thanks pooi mun~!!* ^^

3rd stage was an interactive group, six people in a group.. in my group, there were 5girls and 1 guy. We were required to enter a room that there have 2 interviewers and 1 facilitator inside. 1st, the facilitator required us to intro ourself, just a simple one will do. Then, she started to give us some topics to discuss. In our group, she was giving us few senarios. For instance, are we willing to go for plastic surgery to get our beauty done, describe the outfit that we have chosen to attend this interview, what will we advice those students who going to enter the society and so on. Besides, they also tested my manderin by speaking manderin to me (one of the interviewer is chinese).

Frankly speaking, i personally think that i wasn't well performed for this stage and my english considered as the worst one among all of them. But, surprisingly, i was the only one who successfully got to proceed to final stage. So, i guess most of them actually felt very very upset about the result. And in fact, one of the girl did approach those interviewers and asked for the reason of choosing only me to proceed to final stage. It's because they feel that i cant even speak proper english. I feel sooooo bad when i got to know they actually so calledly backstab me behind my back after smile and said congratz to me.. For me, i straight away just feel that yea.. this is what i will be facing of if i succesfully get the job offer. So, i cant care so much about it.. Just try my best for the final stage since i have the luck to get the chance from them:)

After the lunch time, I proceeded to my final stage. I've been told that there were only 50 girls out of 800+ girls got chosen to proceed to final stage. So, i was actually not really put much hope on this stage. Even if i fail at this stage, i also feel satisfy already since i managed to beat down the rest of the 750+ girls =p Anyway, it was a similar group interview as stage 1. Again.. six people in a group. This time, there were 6girls in my group. The only difference between stage 1 and final stage is our interviewers will be those high management executives of MAS. For my group, our interviewers are the HR manager and the cabin crew manager. As usual, they required us to give a brief introduction about ourselves. Then, from there, they asked us questions based on our resume, more to the working experience and education background. One of the questions they asked me is the same question that i got in stage 1, which is will i feel wasted for my degree for straight away join aviation industry. After that, they asked me that why i choose to join MAS and my answer is about the difference working environment between SIA and MAS. After that, one question that made me sweat is.. one of the interviewer said "Janet.. U look very soft spoken ya.. what if there is a passanger harrass u, will u cry?" my response was really big. I kept saying nononono~ then i explained it by saying that i have a deceiving look =p After that, that interviewer also tested me by purposely asked me whether i know how to speak japanese and tamil. swt~

After the final interview, we actually had a chance to ask those interviewers whatever we want to ask and we have been told to wait for their call for the result within 2weeks. During the 1st week, one of the girl from my group already got the call. And i din get the call yet. I was feeling so disappointed. the 2nd week has passed and i still hvnt get the call yet also. until the 3rd week, when i was given up on this, only i got their call.. I feel so so happy.. and Next coming tues (25th Nov) im going to attend the bonding briefing and going for the medical checkup. If i pass it, then i will be succesfully getting the job offer from MAS lo~~~ Yeah~!!!

Since then...... For once, I declared myself as a Cabin Crew.... And I am always glad that I was from that big family... Here I am..... My first flight (IOE - Inflight Observation Experience) to Hanoi with lovely crews... 

Malaysia Airlines Cabin Crew Walk-in Interview Part 2

On 29th Oct 2008, I got a sms from MAS. Still remember clearly how I felt when I saw this message....

Hooray~!! Been waited for more than 1week, finally i got this sms, informing me to attend the 3rd stage interview of MAS cabin crew.. Feel so happy that finally i passed grooming stage.. Always worried that i cant pass that stage. However, feel so pressure now as well.. Need to wake up so early, make up, conceal and interview again =.= wondering why so many stages ya?? Sienz.. Anyway, already proceed to stage 3 le.. must gambateh and pass it thru.. GAMBATEH!!

Malaysia Airlines Cabin Crew Walk-in Interview Part 1

Still remember..... Back to 19th Oct 2008, I went for MAS interview by myself. At that time, I was a very innocent young girl who has a flying dream and a blog to mark down everything that happened in my life. But, things changed when time flies. So, I decided to closed my previous blog and reopen this current blog. Although I am no longer a crew anymore. But, sometimes I still receive some questions from girls out there who share the dream that I had. And of course I really miss flying so much..... So, just to complete my story in this "journey of life" blog... I share my experience here again.....

Today, early the morning i already woke up and prepared myself to go for the MAS cabin crew interview. Although i reached there at 9am sharp, but the number that i got is 305. My friend was reaching at there around 10mins earlier than me and she got number 281. Just 10mins different, then i got a number that is 24 numbers far behind her =.=

Anyway, kinda love the interview environment there compared to the SIA interview that i've attended last week. MAS employees are far more friendly than SIA employees. Wherever u walk to, u can see people smile to you. As for SIA interview, the employees look very unfriendly, make the whole environment became very stress. Furthermore, in MAS interview, after been called to another waiting room, the HR officer will brief us about the term and conditions and the roles of the cabin crew. And they actually clearly stated for all the interviewees that what they actually looking for and what are their main requirements. They even have a Q&A sections for us to ask questions. However, as for SIA, when v were called to get in to another waiting room to register. What v can do in that waiting room is just to watch a powerpoint slides keep repeating and repeating again and it was just some kind of SIA advertisement. So, we cant even get the chance to know what they really actually looking for.

However, there is one disadvantage of MAS, which is they work abit slow compared to SIA. Anyway, due to the whole interview environment there, i actually dont mind sitting at there and waiting. I've been waited at there since 9am to 2pm for them to call my name for the stage 1, but i also made some new nice friends over there and was enjoy chatting with them. So, it was not bad ^^

For the interview part, it separated into 4stages. The first stage is a group interview, questions that related to our own self will be asked after self intro and a topic will be given randomly then we need to give our opinion accordingly. For me, after i done my self introduction, the interviewer asked me that will i feel wasted for my degree due to i choose to straight away join the airlines, instead of find a job that related to my degree. Of course, i answered it nicely =p Then, the topic that i got - who is your idol. Honestly, i never prepare for this question. So, my answer for this question is.. my idol is my dad because i live with him since i

was born. Everybody feel shocked for my answer. HAHAHA.. And again, i explained it nicely as well.

So, there were 6 of us go in together and they 've only chosen three of us. And of course, im one of them. Hooray~!!

Thus, here i go for my second stage - Grooming stage. Again, we need to wait them to call our name in order to enter the room. Inside the room, there are alot of officers. There is one of them who in-charge of measuring height and weight, then there are two of them in-charge of checking our body condition, mainly visible scars and checking out how we walk. After done this stage, we all can go back home and wait for the call within two weeks. If we get the call, meaning that we are succeeded proceed into stage 3 and stage 4.

So.. What i can do now is just wait.. and pray.. Haha.. Anyway, feel very happy that i am actually passed two out of de four stages for the interview. Really never expect for it!

Just wish me luck!! hehe..
