I applied online. I interviewed at Air Canada (Vancouver, BC) in Nov 2016
Interview
It was personal and unpretentious. Friendly and open but serious as well. They were interested in previous experiences that were in relatable situations but not necessarily the same industry. The most important things seemed to be safety and ease of dealing with people. Another important issue they discussed was the unique type of shift work that this job entails.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Have you ever dealt with a serious work related safety issue.
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.
