Comments on: My Interview Experience With SIA http://www.krisandro.com/2008/04/27/my-interview-experience-with-sia/ Life is a Joke, Laugh at it!!!

If superficial criteria were assessed first, it could be misconstrued as discriminatory. By applying the standard interview first and then having the ‘inspection’ thereafter, they are essentially protecting themselves against any allegations. Remember, it’s one thing to be turned away at the outset due to looks/appearance but quite another to be ‘filtered out’ at a subsequent stage. As for those who managed to get in at subsequent attempts, I believe it is a case of how the applicant fares in comparison to other applicants. If the particular crop is not so good, then an otherwise-fringe applicant would be selected. *above answer is the correct one..they could eliminate u frm the first round but there is rules and regulation. -Air Asia HR- once upon a time :P cheers!!!

Me too no toufu skin but i saw many steward salah and short one all get in. I tried 7 times in 4 years time and enough liao lah. Is fated one and heng suang yes and sometimes a lot of people with connections get in. Got one time, i got into second round which is one on one at SIA training centre. Guess what, while i was sitting waiting to go in, this interviewer from first round, which i believe is CCE for recruitment, a char bor (those typicals A students in NUS/NTU lah) came in with her either cousin or brother and told the guy who assign room to put the boy into one interviewer room, then she proceed to go into that room (obviously telling interviewer, yo! Sir, is my brother, give chance huh). and guess that the brother/cousin is short, like ah-beng, never wear tie still never mind, sleeve fold up somemore. of course get in lah..haha. that scene until now i still remember. haha....between i speak very good english and use singlish coz i wanna keep it real and not be those act act one. i am now based in europe though. Keep trying and good luck!!! Hello, chanced upon your blog and interesting article. Me too no toufu skin but i saw many steward salah and short one all get in.
