I applied on the website and the following week an An Air Canada representative called randomly and asked for an impromptu interview. She asked a bunch of questions that were on the application form itself, so they were nothing too difficult. Following the interview she said that she would call back to schedule a linguistic interview (as the system was down), but has yet to do that.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Q: Are you over 18?
Q: Do you have a Canadian passport?
Q: Are you willing to participate in the 7 week training course?
Q: What languages do you speak at an advanced and intermediate level?
Q: How would you represent Air Canada?
-Then some situation questions.
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.
