Good luck all!


Wait. Here's some information that I got from http://flylah.com/aspiring-pilots/topic777.html


This is the selection process for SIA (year 2005)

First Interview (Panel of 2 Interviewers)
1. Basic questions like why you want to become a pilot.
2. Some questions relating to your current occupation.
3. Mathematical questions like working out the distance given speed and time etc...
4. Geography questions like how many continents, where the nearest ocean from X country etc...
5. Depending on the interviewer, they may or may not ask you technical information about aircrafts.
6. You can expect a wait of 7-9 days before they contact you on the results of the First Interview through the phone and email.

Second Interview (2 days affair)
First day
1. You can expect to settle some admin stuff like certifying true copies of your documents before lunch. The email will state the things you need to bring.
2. After lunch you will be put through some Computer-based tests. Physcomotor, Logic and Memory tests.
3. End of First day.

Second day
Part One
1. In the morning, you will be broken up into groups of 5 for the team-building exercise. There are a series of questions here for individual work and group work. There will also be a question where they give you some building blocks and see how effectively you communicate with your teammates on getting the task done. Do be sure to follow ALL the rules or you will be penalized!!
2. Just before lunch, you will be asked to write an essay of about 50 words.
3. After lunch, the second interview will begin.

Part Two (The Interview - Panel of 4-5 Interviewers)
1. The series of questions asked during the Second Interview will be slightly similar to the First Interview but there will be more technical questions.
2. Depending on the interviewers, they may ask you how a jet engine works, how many wheels does a plane have etc...
3. After your interview, you will be separated from those who have not gone for the interview so do not think that you can ask the person who comes out what his/her questions were.
4. After the interview, the tea-party begins. The best is just to be yourself because the interviewers are very sharp people. For the beverage part, it is only a rumor that you should not take the alcohol, the panel of interviewers actually offered us saying that we can relax already. (The reason HR might say to abstain from the alcohol could just be that they want to cut cost...but if you're those who gets drunk easily then please don't take any.)

Medical Check-up
1. After the Second Interview, you will have to call up the next day at a specific time. You will then know whether or not you clear the interview in order to go for the medical check-up.
2. The medical check-up will take roughly half a day and you will need to go to 3 clinics.
3. After the medical, what most people do not realize is that the application is then sent to MOM for clearance.
4. You can expect to wait about 2 weeks before they contact you on whether they decide to take you in. They will at this point also tell you your posting.
