@Alex: not to worry about the duration, it doesnt really matter. I took only 10mins. As long as u perform during the interview, the duration is fine.

anyone pls advise me. I attended my 1st round interview last week and i just received an email from edward, i am not successful.

but i did answers all of the questions asked by the panel of 2 interviewer and showed my passion. even talked about all the fleets of SIA and discuss about my point of view for the future aviation industry. did not answer any 'I don't know'. WHAT is the reason they fail me?

I am thinking is it because of the eye test. Because I've overlooked the email i thought only those who did lasik need to bring the eye test report. but the officers who check our certs ask me to do it at the clinic just next to the interview room. So i did it and my result is without optical aid 6/9, comment: fit to fly. but the officer told me their requirement for cadet pilot is to meet 6/6 with or without optical aid. and I can submit the report later if I am successful.

Did they fail me because I overlooked the isntruction given in the email? I was excited and overlooked the instruction.. or there are some other reason? it's killing me.....

I am also a malaysian, that shouldn't be a reason right?

TzeSan,

How's your Sunday session? I'm from Simpang Ampat, currently working in Penang island. Let me know how it goes, we'll probably bump into each other in Sg.

Cheers,
StevieRay

Hey Kawazoe, like what Stallone said, you'll never know why you failed to get selected. All you can do is find reasons to satisfy your own curiosity as to why you failed.

You overlooked the eye checkup and assumed it was for lasik candidates only. The reality of this industry can be real harsh. A little mistake there. But there might not be a 2nd chance in flight if you overlooked something.

Look on the bright side, re-apply again!

It's not the end. Good luck!

For those Singaporeans who got into Oct 22 OBS, may i do a straw poll on your age.

Are you,
a) below 25 yrs old
b) 25 above but yet to reach 25.5 yrs old
c) 25.5 yrs but yet to reach 26 yrs old
d) 26 and above
by the time you go for Oct 22 OBS?

I'm trying to find out if sia only takes in ppl after a certain age. Thanks in advance for those who participate. =)
