I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Air Canada (Richmond, BC) in Jan 2016
Interview
Applied at the beginning of Dec 2015, received an email right after submitting my application for a link to do a recorded video interview at any time of my convenience. The it will say/write the interview questions in either English or French then you have 30 seconds to prepare your answer then it will commence recording you. Once this was completed I received a phone call to schedule a linguistics test in my other language. This phone call from the time you answer until it ends is completely in the language you are proficient at (other than English or French). 3rd interview will be a face to face at the base office which will be later this month. When the 3rd interview appointment was confirmed HR also sent an online assessment of various questions (takes 30-45 mins to complete) such as emotional behavior evaluation, cognitive, spatial, etc questions. They are simple but many so be brain ready.
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
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.
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.
