Air Canada Interview

[BlueSkies12]

Figured this would be the best place to ask the question, "What is the interview like and what questions do they ask you?"

Thanks for the help.

Better than the actual section titled "Air Canada" that has numerous topics about this question??

Yeah, better than Air Canada as people in General Aviation are the one's going for interviews and no one on the Air Canada forum board has
answered this question.

Are you suuuuuuure? It's been covered quite extensively, I can't imagine what more information you could need.

Groundtoflightdeck was kind enough to break it down

The process is basically unchanged from last time around. As I understand it.

When they restarted hiring in Oct there was about 1-3 week notice for interview. When hiring is rolling along like last time it was more like 6 weeks notice.

There is an behavioral interview- as someone said: be familiar with that format. Having the questions in advance is really not that helpful. You need good stories to link with the questions. There are good interview prep services out there.

COG Test, Psych test are fairly generic lots of questions, very tiring. Answer truthfully- Air Canada doesn't see your answers but if you are not being honest they get an 'invalid' on your personailty profile and that does you no good. You cannot prepare for these tests.

There is then a 4-6 week period of waiting until the results of everything go to the board and they descide how you compare with the others. Reference checks happen here.

If you are successful and they are about to place you in a ground school you get a pre-employment medical- more thorough than a normal CAT1 but basically checking for problems.

Once it all comes together you get the call. 3 weeks at least for notice seems to be standard on both cycles. Air Canada seems to let your boss know when he can expect to lose you before they call you.

This is a hybrid of last hiring cycle process and this time's in my experience. Not to be mistaken with the actual process it could be a bit different for everyone.

Hope that helps and good luck!

Do you feel like others are controlling your actions? Do you feel like killing your self? Often? Have you ever wanted to be a race car driver? News anchor? Florist? Do you get pains in your stomach often? Is/was your father a good man? Do you sometimes feel like solving problems with violence?

Basic stuff every interviewer asks, you know run of the mill type questions.
