April 5, 2014
French twist, high heels, and a lot of pretty faces were around the hall. I can say, most of the ladies prepared themselves for this special event 'cause this event might bring them to their dreams to work above the sky.
Different nationalities attended the event since SilkAir is open for all during that recruitment day. Singaporeans of course dominates, Indians, Thai, Malay, Filipino and there were also group of girls flew all the way from Korea on the same day just to apply. The Koreans belong to the really outstanding ones, because their skin were so fair and smooth, their smiles were really heartwarming, their outfits as well were strikingly beautiful. However, there were also some girls who didn't give much effort in their looks and style. Some wore party dresses and short skimpy skirts which I think weren't appropriate for the event. Yet, if that's how they thought they might carry themselves well, so be it! :D
I prepare myself so much for this event, since this is my first time to try and I've always wanted to become a flight attendant since I was a little. My cousin whom was a former Emirates Cabin Crew dressed me up so well, and made me look like I used to flew as a flight attendant. She did my makeup so natural and my hair twisted so that my face would look clean and tidy.
When I came at the hall, there was a queue of girls lined up to submit the completed employment form, 2 passport photos, and to show the NRIC or Passport and educational certificates. Then after that, each were assigned of a group number. My group number back then was 6.
When group 6 was called, we do arm-reach (212 cms, I think) followed by the group interview.
In the group interview, there were 4 panels and 10 interviewees. Each was supposed to introduce ourselves and say the reason why we went to that event. The first three girls in our group were Tiger FAs (not outstanding) which just want to try SilkAir they said. The rest were 3 Filipina(which I am one), 1 indian, and 3 average Singaporeans.
I make myself composed as everyone introduced themselves. I listened to everyone of them and I made myself look interested on what everyone was saying. On my turn, I introduced myself very well then I make sure I am looking to the panel interviewers and also to my colleagues to make myself interactive.
I thought I did well. Yet, one of the interviewers told me that I should be looking just to them since they are the ones that interviews not my colleagues. Oops.
I was thinking, what was the group interview for if I won't be interacting to everyone in the room?!
So, I just apologize and continue my warm smile then.
The last lady that introduced herself, the Indian(it's her second try), I believe she explained herself well, she was very relaxed and got the panel's attention in her speech. So, I bet that she'll be in.
After the interview, we were asked to go out of the room and wait for the panel's decision of who will be in for the next round.
boom badoom boom boom. HEARTBEAT.
From our group, only 4 got in. The three girls from Tiger Air and one Filipina. Me? I was booted out. The Indian didn't make it as well even she did well on the interview. However, the Filipina girl became my friend, she said that the next stage they've been to was the fitting of the uniform and one-on-one interview with a different interviewer. Then, they were asked to wait for a call within 2 days. If you didn't receive a call, the position might not be for you. Try again next time.
Before I went home, I looked around and observe.. I was surprised when the pretty Koreans weren't picked by the panel as well even they are much outstanding than the three Tiger FAs.
The panel didn't say any reason why I and the other ladies were booted out. My experience wasn't that harsh.. it's just maybe they are not looking just for that heart warming smile, style, and looks..
NO REGRETS! :D I am still happy and at peace that I tried it.. and be part of the pretty ladies who were booted out. LOL!
That's all!
HAHA!
