You should brush up on Your spelling before attempting them, likely to be more of a test of Your English than anything else.

Cool

Q. Somebody e-mails you with a problem that you do not know the answer to do you...

a, ignore it and hope it goes away
b, answer a completely different question ignoring the problem
c, pass it to an expat and avoid all responsibility
d. all of the above and get promoted to a position you are incapable of doing.

A question I can't answer? I suppose somebody might, one day. In the meantime. Ho-hum.

The best advice I can give to any prospective TSE is to get to know your Boeing/Airbus/PW/GE/RR/Honeywell reps very well and very quickly. They're the guys who have access to the Big Book of Answers back at the design office.

If I had to check out a prospective TSE's credentials I'd ask him/her to explain the difference between a Boeing Service Bulletin and a Service Letter. It looks simple, but it isn't.

CX Questions

Don't know about the tech questions, but one bit of advice "don't show any sign of being in favour of Unionism"

I applied for a Tech Services (Airframer) position with Cathay two years ago.

That test contained mostly Airframe specific questions, so I assume the tests are specific for each area of Tech Services. About 75% of the interview was then based on my test answers.

If you are applying for an Airframer position, let me know and I will give as much info as I can remember.
