I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Air Canada (Calgary, AB) in Mar 2016
Interview
I applied in December 2015, got a call for a phone interview March 9th and the actual interview on March 11th. Got a couple language test on March 17th and a call for a f2f interview for the 30th.
Along with the email confirming my f2f, I got a link for a personality test.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What do you do in your spare time?
How would you react if you have a child seated by the emergency exit?
What would you do if you win a million dollars?
Fair but alot of questions. Be prepared with many scenarios that demonstrates customer service and your ability to react to emergencies. Being friendly and dress appropriately is also very important
The interview process comprises an initial group meeting with all applicants, followed by a concise overview of Air Canada. Subsequently, the larger group will be segmented into two or three smaller units for individual interviews. These interviews are designed to assess your interpersonal skills, cognitive processes, and professional bearing. You will be presented with a scenario for discussion, followed by a video analysis focusing on a flight attendant's actions, requiring you to evaluate their appropriateness.
It was a great experince doing an interview, even though I didn’t make the cut during the last interview for Air Canada. Overall it was a great journey. It does bring my hopes up because I lasted till the finals.
