I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Air Canada (Montreal, QC) in Feb 2017
Interview
I was one of the lucky ones whose interview process took a bit over a month. I applied online Jan 17, 2017, the next week I had the phone interview and linguistic test. The week after I had to do their online aptitude tests. The same week I got the call for the in-person interview.
The F2F has quite a few steps, non of which you're sure about aside from the initial 1 on 1. If you pass the one on one, you're moved on to the group scenario with 3 others. We passed and were asked on the spot to schedule our medicals.
I had my medical the next day and received my offer by phone and then online four days later.
I really enjoyed the process, it was professional at every level and everyone I dealt with was friendly and considerate.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why do you want to be a Flight Attendant with Air Canada?
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.
