I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Air Canada (Toronto, ON) in Sept 2018
Interview
The first thing that happens for me was a phone call that I received asking if I was still intestered in this job. Then she scheduled a time where she could do a pre screen interview. This process took about 20 minutes. A very easy process. I don’t have a fluent second language and was obviously not scheduled a language test. So I assumed that I wouldn’t proceed any further. Wel, the following day I received an email inviting me to a F2F interview. At this point I was reluctant but confirmed a date and time. On the day of the interview i went in and was greeted immediately by an AC rep. I followed her to a room and gave all the documents that I was asked to bring. That process took about 5 minutes. Then I followed the same lady to another room where I sat for about 10 minutes. Names one by one were being called to have there f2f interview. My name was cAlled at last( waited about 15 minutes) and I followed the recruiting consultant into another room where the others were all having their f2f interviews. It was a big enough room, with a lot of people talking at the same time. It was hard to stay focused but I got it done. The process took about 30 minutes. Then i was escorted out. I was confused.. she did say that I should hear back within 4-6 weeks. And then that was it.
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.
