I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Air Canada (Calgary, AB) in Oct 2016
Interview
I applied back in August 2016 online then was contacted by phone about a month later. I did a phone interview, a language assessment and the online testing. A couple weeks later I was called back to interview in Calgary. First there was the one on one interview, then the group interview directly afterwards. I thought that both were rather straight forward and went well, and everyone along the process was very pleasant. Next is the medical exam, then they said it would be 6-8 weeks to hear back.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a situation where you had to focus on multiple things at once
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.
