rdane402 - Stage 1
Hi Rdane402,
Sorry I have been busy lately.
Yes, I am from Toronto, too. Going for Stage 2.
Here is the breakdown for Stage 1 (they are in no particular order):
1. Interview
Mine was just an HR Interview. Though there may be a chance of technical interview depending on whether or not they have the resources to do so. (Either way, you'll get one Stage 1 or Stage 2). Just study whatever you can think of according to your level of experience (PPL, CPL, etc.) I was told they can ask you anything. Don't be surprised. The environment was pretty relaxing. Just be yourself.
2. Job Knowledge Test
Make sure you read the JKI Booklet. You'll be able to answer most of the questions from the JKI Booklet. If you've done your ground school, you'll be fine. If not, the JKI is sufficient. Knowing more is better as I am not sure if all tests are the same.
3. Reasoning Test
There is really nothing you can do to prepare for this.
It's a test of logic. Some candidates were able to finish some weren't. I am not sure what the benchmark is. Try looking up Raven Matrices as others had suggested in this forum
4. Personality Test
Again, it's another test which you can't prepare for. Just be yourself.
Stage 1 to me was more about getting to know who I am.
My advice to you (just as everyone else had told me) is to be yourself.
The questions asked were quite straight forward.
Best of Luck!
