First interview

Once online applications have closed, you will receive an email inviting you to the first round of interviews if you’ve been successful. When you arrive your height will be measured to ensure you meet the requirements and then you’ll be given a candidate number to wear. This interview is brief and designed to find out more about you. You will be asked to give a brief introduction of yourself in front of the group. Then, you will be asked a few questions based on your application.

Before leaving, you will also need to complete a verbal Mandarin test. This is one to one, where an interviewer will assess the adequacy of your spoken Mandarin.

Final interview

This interview is similar to the first, but you are likely to be asked more questions directly about the company and why you want to work as Cabin Crew.

This is to check that you don’t have any tattoos etc. If you pass the skin check, you will then be sent on to have a medical check-up.
