Can anyone share their experience of how they prepared for the presentation? Which topic were you given?

holdmetight

i thought the topic has always been "the training aspects of the cathay pacific cadet pilot program"...

basically you talk to them about what you can expect to do in training - how many modules, what you learn in each module, aircraft you fly, where you train, licenses you get, how many hours you can expect to accrue, etc...

i think they are more interested in listening to your oral english though.

just wonder if candidates are suppose to prepare any visual aids for their presentation, or just stand up and talk for 5 mins? any input would be much appreciated. thank you.

hihihi

so how many module are there ? and what do cadet learn in each module?

you are not permitted to use anything for the presentation, i.e. even a piece of paper...

and from my personal experience, you don't really need to speak for 5 mins...it took me about 2'30 doing the presentation...

You can use a piece of paper. I had palm cards as this was what I was comfortable with doing.

It says "you are not required to use any props" (or something like that). Keyword being required. You may use them, just bring them yourself.

Also, if you don't have a speech which lasts for about 5 minutes, you're going to have to answer technical questions until the 5 minutes are used up

hey i knew that the email using the word "required"...and I actually did not plan to memorize my speech...

When i got into the room with my piece of paper, the interviewer asked me to put everything into the bag...by that time I was thinking the "required" actually meant "permitted"

Maybe different interviewers have different requirements?

flubbachany

Quite possibly, because as far as I knew, most people who did the initial tests with me had some form of paper to help themselves memorise

how doyou know what modules you need to do ? do you just do your own research and find out what licenses/permits you need to get all the way to arline transport license?

wskwong, It's nothing out of your reach, there's info on their website and FTA.com etc. If you have a real passion to become a pilot, and you are taking the CPP really seriously, then you should have no problem knowing the training and such that goes on down in Adelaide. I didn't have to use any notes. It's more of a test of your oral English I'm guessing.
