I heard GFS requires perfect eyesight due to its job nature, wonder how many candidates in HK could fit this requirement..

applied this post, and now patiently waiting to be called for eyesight tests, anyone knows when will I hear from GFS? I applied CX cadet as well, but failed it. Hope I will do better this time.

Hi,

I applied via mail and they just sent me back the last page of the application that states they have received and are processing my application.

Short listed candidates will be informed in due course.

Pretty basic stuff!

Will post here if I hear anything else.

At the moment I am just studying the background of GFS as well as going through some PPL books for some basic aerodynamics.

Good luck to you too.

Got my interview notice. Is on 13/4. However, I'm still in Australia. May not able to attend. How sad.

anyone got an idea what will be in the eye sight test. I got a little bit short sight. Just wondering should attend the interview or not. If not, I could save a trip back.

Looks like I am missing out on this opportunity

I was really looking forward to a chance of joining GFS when I heard about the position!
