Important points about the Final Interview

 

" Answer the questions to the point. There is no need to elaborate more than necessary.

 

" If the situation described does not apply to you, tell the

 

interviewer that you were never faced with such a scenario.

 

" Do not reveal information that you do not want your

potential employer to know about you.

 

" Be prepared with examples for all the questions that might come up.

 

" If the answer does not come immediately to you, take a moment to think about it and tell the interviewer you need a moment to think.

 

" Be honest.

 

" Be aware of your body language throughout the discussion. " Do not talk negatively about your current or past employer or colleagues.

 

" Ask the interviewer for their contact information and etiquette for being in contact (when should you contact them, which way do they prefer - email, phone, etc).

After the assessment

 

Now that the diffi cult part is over, the excruciating part is about to begin: the waiting period. The next 4-6 weeks (sometimes even longer) will be the longest weeks of your life. You will go through every single detail of the interview. You will be feeling confident, just to be full of doubt 5 minutes later. It's an emotional roller coaster. An answer will come soon, so try to keep sane meanwhile.

 

Successful candidates will receive a phone call, while the ones who did not make it will receive an email.

Golden Call and Successful Candidate Email

 

Your phone will start ringing and there will be this weird long number starting with +97. Deep down you know this is it and you start either jumping and be overwhelmed with happiness or you completely freeze. Whichever your reaction, try to pick up the phone and listen to the good news.

 

Do not worry about how you are perceived at this point, it is completely natural to be amazed and overcome with joy. Some people even start crying. Bottom line is this: You made it! Congratulations!!!

 

The airline representative will tell you that you will be receiving an email with instructions in the following days.

Documents submission

 

Once you receive your instructions email, the real work starts. There will be complex medical examinations that you must complete before joining. You will be tested, checked and measured in more depth than ever before. You should not resign from your current job at this point. Your off er of employment is not final until you passed all the required medical tests.

 

Medical documents

 

Some of the medical tests include:

 

• HIV test

 

• Full blood count

 

• Hepatitis B and C test

 

• Detailed chest X-ray report about heart and lungs

• Cervical smear test report

 

• Audiogram report and graph

 

• Eye test (regardless if you wear glasses or not)

• Dental certificate

 

• Vaccination card

 

• General health assessment certificate

 

The medical tests are diff erent for each employer and you should not start them before you receive the full instructions from the airline.

 

Every single medical report will then be scanned and submitted to the airline via the careers portal, email or fax.

 

I recommend you see your family doctor first. In some countries (Europe, Canada, etc ), when referred to by the family doctor, part of the cost of your tests will be covered by your insurance or your national health scheme.

 

Otherwise, expect to pay anything around US$300-400 for these tests. This amount will not be reimbursed by the airline.

Other documents

 

You will also have to send:

 

• the contract signed on every single page

 

• copies of birth certificates for you and your family members.

 

• passport copies for you and your family members.

 

• your accepted letter of resignation from your current employer.

 

Once again, the requirements are diff erent for each airline and you should not start preparing any documents until you receive the instructions to do so.

Date of Joining (DOJ)

 

Once all the required documents were submitted and medical tests cleared, you will receive a final acceptance call or email. You be informed of your date of joining - the day when you left towards your new base is offi cially the day you started working for the airline.

 

The airline will send an email with a copy of your e-ticket and visa. You will travel from the airport closest to your home. Transport to the airport will not be arranged by the airline.
