SIA Cabin Crew: Happy Final Interview

FINALLY MAY!!!

Oh well, you have no idea how I’m waiting for this month.. I finally got the date for the final interview and it was on May 18th, 2013!! still so long huh... A day is really like a year when you wait for something… :'( Anyway, there are 36 people passed through the previous stages. I was scheduled to have interview at 11am and it was is in Ritz-Carlton Kuningan..

Sooo„ before this final day, I prepared myself again. I went to the salon, updo may hair, mani pedi my nails with the shining red color, waxing, and so on….. I tried my best to look like a real SIA cabin crew because I really want to get in!!! x)

I got there at 10am, but it turned out that my interview was at 12am. I was the last person before all interviewers went to lunch! Hmf… I really hoped they are not bored yet since they already interviewed half of all…. :/

1. Kebaya and Skin check
This is the first step. I wore the SIA kebaya and it was gorgeousss! I love ittt! hahahaa.. Then, a woman named Mrs. Clara checked my skin under a very bright light... she asked me to turn left and right, checking any single spot in my face, looking for any pimples.. then my arms, my feet.. if there is any scars or tattoos, or anything… hmff… then she measured my height and weight again... My weight is 0.3 kg less than before and I really scared I will be kicked out because of that..

2. Walking with the Kebaya
After done with the skin check, I walked with the kebaya. She stopped me. She asked whether I’m used to bring heavy back on my right side shoulder.. AM I? I have no idea.. omg.. She asked me to walk again with more relax.. and I saw her sighing.. oh gosh.. I thought she will reject me because of that.. :'(

3. Final Interview
They don't give us the result first until this last final interview. I was moved to a room with 2 interviewers inside. They are Singaporean men, both from the SIA management. So, the first thing they asked to me was.. "What do you do now for living?" Boo! I said I’m unemployed right now. I quit my job on December because I want to continue my study, but then the SIA things popped up in my mind, so blablablaa... Now I just help my mom to take care of my lil brother, teach him, and blablabla... I think my answer was not relevant enough huhh.... I'm just too nervous!! T.T Argg.. I even forgot most of the questions and my answers. They also asked me about my family, and is it okay to stay in Singapore.. of course! I like Singapore! It is clean, orderly, and it’s a place worth living.. I’ve been to Singapore like many times.. LOL.. (not that much actually.. hahahaa.. It just come out from my mouth).. hahahaa.. at the end, they asked me to read a passage.. I just read it. At first I read it too fast, but then I managed to slowly read it :) Last, they asked if there is any question I want to ask.. I asked them for the result.. hahahaa.. but they don’t allow it.. :P well, at the end.. the interview is over!! Fuuh... I quickly went to the toilet.. and and and and and when I come out, the guy who always announces the result come out from the door, meet me, and said…. CONGRATULATIONS! wooooooooo!! I almost can’t believe it that I asked him several timesss!! It’s really amazing! Thank You God! Praise You Lord! I won't forget that moment! I was asked to come again around 1pm because they wanna take a break now and I need to fill the employment letter and there is a little briefing before going home…Woohoo.. no problem.. I could even stay all day there! hahahaa.. I am just soooo happyyy, TOO HAPPY!! One step closer to my dreamm. I keep smiling all dayyy! x)


-MEDICAL CHECK UP-
Okay, enough with daydreaming.. :P
So, after all the terrifying stages, we still have go through medical check-up (med-ex)..

The first med-ex is in Jakarta, around Kuningan. I did it on May 22nd, 2013.. Hmhh... I was quite afraid as it was my first time. I never did med-ex in my whole life! I really hope I'm healthy enough to fly abroad *fingerscrossed

What they checked? eyes, blood test, urine, x-ray to see my lung condition, and then a common medical check up by the doctor. Even my eyes are considered normal, they still asked me to go to the eyes center. It turned out that I got minus on my eyes; left -0.25 and right -0.50.. -_-"

After the check up??

WAITING. YES. WAITING. Seriously, to get this job, all you can do is waiting and waiting, up to 4 months. There is no certainty until you get the training date. For now, I’m waiting for the call… to have another medical check up in Singapore… I think I have passed the med-ex in Jakarta as it's been more than a month.. Fiuhhh.. it's really not a short way to get in the flight.. wish me luckk! ;)

At last, I just wanna said that I feel so blessed and grateful that I could be one of the twelve people there! Thank You God! =)

To all of you who are intending to attend SIA interview, GO AHEAD! Be yourself, do your best, and let you shine like a diamond! :P I was told that to be chosen, it's more than just a good look, so just give it a shot! I myself even never imagine I can pass this interview... Best luck to you all!

Xox, J

  2. Hi Jessica! I would like to find out if people diagnosed with hyperthyroidism that can be controlled under medication apply to be a cabin crew? I would really appreciate the answer because I cannot seem to find a confirmed answer anywhere. And I would like to prepare myself in this area when they do the medical checkup.

    Thank you so much!
