I applied in-person. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Air Canada (Montreal, QC) in Aug 2013
Interview
You apply online, then you receive a phone call asking simple questions at first, mostly about the role of a flight attendant. You then are scheduled for a language test in french and in english. You then go to headquarter base in Montreal and meet someone to do a first interview....probably the best one of my life...The questions asked are professional and straight forward, then I went downstairs to complete some paperwork. They then gave me a paper for my medical a week later, I went and completed the process then they asked me to come back 2 weeks latter for a group interview. I also had to complete a computer test online. They then call you after a couple of weeks to tell you that you have the job....great company honest :)
Fair but alot of questions. Be prepared with many scenarios that demonstrates customer service and your ability to react to emergencies. Being friendly and dress appropriately is also very important
The interview process comprises an initial group meeting with all applicants, followed by a concise overview of Air Canada. Subsequently, the larger group will be segmented into two or three smaller units for individual interviews. These interviews are designed to assess your interpersonal skills, cognitive processes, and professional bearing. You will be presented with a scenario for discussion, followed by a video analysis focusing on a flight attendant's actions, requiring you to evaluate their appropriateness.
It was a great experince doing an interview, even though I didn’t make the cut during the last interview for Air Canada. Overall it was a great journey. It does bring my hopes up because I lasted till the finals.
