I believe stage II is held in Hong Kong. Not sure if they cover the costs for this though.

hey, i tried contacting the company but there doesn't seem to be much info out there aside from the actual Cathay site and rumors. Have you recieved the e-mail with additional info in it? Also does any one know any thing about what kinds of questions are asks in the initial interview is it very basic or intense?

Hi Guys

I applied for the Cadet program last Thursday the 9th of July. I haven't heard anything back from Cathay yet.

From my impressions in some other threads I have read, it seems that some people had to make the trip to HK for stage 1. Obviously it would be a great saving if I could do it in Sydney so my question is;

Is this interview coming up in Syd on the 22nd going to be the last for Sydney or are there plenty more to come?

Any advice please PM me

Cathey application.

Sending the application for a direct hire position. There is a section for refrences from a Cathey Pacific employee. I don't know anyone who flies for Cathey. Will this hurt my chances in getting called for a interview?
Thanks, Steve

For the Sydney interview, I applied online through the Cathay careers website and nominated Australia as my preferred location for interview. I applied about 3 weeks ago and attended the first interview last week. I have a few hours but no qualifications. I hope this helps.

Has any one who attended any of the Sydney interviews heard the good or bad news yet?
