cx part 1b interview
the 1b interview is pretty personal,
talk about yourself,
u be asked questions on the subject you studied etc,
I studied subjects which are completely different (graphics design)to what a "perfect pilot" shud have studied, never the less you should atleast demonstrate you enthusiam for the cadet programme. And hopefully i was about to do just that.
The recruitment specialist will then go in your strengths/weakness, why did u do this or that, how did that make u a better person,
I think depending on whether or not you have a pilot present in your interview, depends on the amount of technical questions you recieve, I did alot of research and preparation for technical questions but for interview 1B it was mostly about yourself and your history! I think I shud have focus more on HR questions than technical, having said that i hope my preparation for the HR question was sufficient and I was able to demonstrate my suitability.
Finally you should have an answer prepared for why do you want to be a pilot and what can you bring into CX.
I hope that helps!

I'm only young, But I used to live in Hong Kong. I think this is probably a NO or NEGATIVE!! or "your a bloody idiot"... But, would I have a chance if I applied? I lived there for 20 months. Or a higher chance of direct entry FO?

Great information being posted so far Flubbachany.
Like others I have a question. In terms of the mathematics assessment (including the aptitude test) just how hard were they?
Was it more of a mental arithmetic ability test or how much mathematics theory you know?
I'm asking because my mathematics is nowhere near good so I'm working on that for now.
Cheers,
and good luck on getting through!

flubbachany,
that's good man.
coz i screwed up my ICAO english last time
pretty upset.
i got problems on listening and conprehension.
remember, he plays the tape with a concveration for 1,2 mins and ask ur questions. i didn't remember and catch what they were saying.
i remember another one which he gave couples things to choose like map, watch etc, something about the capsule. i couldn't catch that as well.
anywayz, i guess there's no way out except listen more, read more, talk more.

To all who have been gone through the interviews,
Are u guys allowed to bring briefcase to the interview? like if I wanna bring some notes paper, my resume, recommendation letters, business cards etc...
Is the oral presentation presented in front of all other applicants and the recruiters? or just the recruiters?
How does the interview room look like? interviewee sit close to the interviewers or with certain distance so that the interviewers could see all the gesture, posture and stuffs.
thank you
