I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Air Canada (Toronto, ON) in Aug 2016
Interview
Had an unexpected phone interview asking basic questions about why I wanted the job, what I have to offer and two behavioral questions. The interview caught me off guard. Scheduled me for a linguistics interview the following week for both Cantonese and English. I thought it was weird that they scheduled me for an English interview because I spoke to them in English for the telephone interview. Still waiting to see how that goes.
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.
