Im a current CX pilot.
The personal questions are where the battle is won and lost.... so prepare word perfect answers to all the standard stuff (see XYZ guide for personal stuff, and use common sense).
examples..
1. tell us about yourself
2. why join cathay
3. strenghts weaknesses... all the usual stuff
Try and avoid telling them about aviation in your life. If they ask you for your hobbies, dont talk about flying. Avoid talking about flying AMAP.
try and cover as much tech stuff as you can, but remember its how you answer. And dont bull**** them... if you dont know, then say it.
Our uniform is black single breast, with dark blue tie... so wear as close as possible to this.
PM me is any Q's
DONT get bogged down studying tech stuff 99% of the time. You MUST know the personal questions backwards.... this is the most common mistake. Some people know how many rivets in the 747, but they cannot answer a simply question like ... "tell us about yourself", without stuttering, and looking like a fool. You must prepare 100%, and memorize your personal answers. !!!
If you have the time, do a professional interview course.... aviation is best, but if not, then a solid one is invaluable.
