Hi,
does anyone know how hard the: 'recognise sequences in patterns' test is at stage 4? Are these sequences based on diagrams or numerical sequences? Can much prep be done for it and if so does anyone have any recommendations?

Thanks!

Hey everyone,

I recently got an invitation email to an initial interview with CX. Any good interview prep books out there specific to CX? I'm reading through ACE prep book. Any suggestions would be fantastic!

Also this 'forgivable loan' in the interview package is a bit confusing. Anyone got info on how it works for someone doing 'Transition training'?

Cheers

All details of orders are on the CX website, so you can see we only order the ER version.

Krashman - PM me and we can swap notes and try and work it all out!

Hi guys!

I just got a call from CX to do the Stage 1 assessment later this month. It seems like the procedures have changed quite a lot from the previous posts. Does anyone know the latest selection procedure?

Right now they start off with job knowledge test, reasoning test, personality test, general + technical interview.

felt like the old stage 1 and 2 combined

Medical Certificate

Hi all, just wondering if you do not hold any Flying Licence, do you still have to bring Medical Certificate with you to the Stage 1 interview?

What licence do cadets gain on completion in Adelaide?

Also, if anyone here could shed some light on the content of the 12 week transition training course it would be gratefully recieved.

Thanks,

VFE.

International

Momomomo

Krashman,
Are you international candidate? When did you submit the form?

Yes I am an international applicant. I've had a profile CX HR for several years. I've tried to constantly update it every six months or so. Sometimes I've been early sometimes late.

Initial interview

Hey guys,

Just a quick question to anyone who has previously attended the initial interview. They say 'please bring the original and a photocopy of the following documents along to the interview'. Within this list they mention all logbooks. Do they actually want a photocopy of the whole logbook......every single page or just the last few maybe??

Hopefully someone can shed some light on this cause I'll have to do some major photocopying otherwise.

Thanks guys,

Dangerman

Initial interview

Does anyone have a copy of 'Preparing for your cathay pacific interview' 11th edition that they would be interested in selling? Preferably on the North American continent.

Nope, but they grade you on the Sim if you have hours. Advanced "Grading"
