[sunnychik]

hello again everyone ~

passed my initial test already
many many thanks to everyone who read my previous post, especially those who replied to the post.


I am invited for the 1st interview, however time is not yet confirmed (i missed the call, and when they called back, they said next week is full, expect late april or early may ^~^")


so, juz wanna ask if anyone passed the initial test and invited for the 1st interview also?

what are you guys preparing ? (i m reading some basic aviation books and CX history etc.)

besides, any suggestions ?

they called you during the weekend?

[sunnychik]

no they called me tue afternoon, i missed and then called back. the responsible person was off already. then they called me back wed morning.

are you in also ?

rite, the first interview basically is on what you wrote on the application, 1 HR and 1 Pilot, most questions come from the HR. So remember to go through again your application if you have the copy. And some more Cathay details typically questions like fleet size...And the questions are coming by what you answer for last question bewared what you talk about. For example, in my case, i mentioned about EasyJet during the interview, in the last session, the Pilot come to ask a question like Do you know about the EasyJet, What are their fleets? How many of them? Whats difference between 737NG and A319?

And remember, be yourself, NEVER EVER gonna to lie, they will know.

hope this help.

so you are on local candidate pathway yea?

Just wondering how long it took for you to get that 1st interview call after your initial tests Sunnychik.
They said max 4 weeks for me, would it really take that long?

bedbug,

I got the call from cx a day after my initial testing. I'm an oversea candidate tho. so local may takes a bit longer. hope this help.

I got my call about a week after my initial testing.
They say there's no interview slots free till some time later in May though. Must be lotsa candidates to go through. *nervous*
hope you guys have done well with yours in the mean time
