It makes me more nervous.

Suddenly, I just don't wanna hear or see something related to Asiana. I don't wanna think about it. I don't want to open my email. Cus, it makes me more nervous.

Then, I found out earlier that Ms. Joyce, the one who did the pre-screening at Asiana Airlines and my Grade School classmate/seatmate are related to each other. I think they're siblings. And that fact really makes me more nervous. Maybe I could ask her to ask Ms. Joyce about the results. Pathetic! Haha.

Well, I hope Transresources will release already the results of the final screening within this week. Sigh.

In or out I'll still continue my dream of becoming one. I will still keep my faith to achieve it.

Asiana Airline: Final Screening

I was very ecstatic when I received an email from Ms. Joyce.

Oh yeah! I was considered for the Final screening. It was really unexpected knowing that there were a lot of good looking girls during the First Screening. Plus the fact that I was stutterring during our panel interview. Almost screwed up.

I actually didn't prepared much for this interview. Ewan ko ba. All I know is, korean panelist will ask about current events. Crap! I'm not a news junkie.

Here it goes. I decided to leave the house early because I thought the interview will going to be a first come first serve basis again. Ayoko ng mag-hintay at kabahan ulit ng matagal. Since the final screening will start at 8:30am, I left the house around 6:30am. It was Monday. Hello traffic! I only took cab since I don't have my license (read my previous post) and my car was color coding.

I arrived at the Lighthouse at exactly 8am. When I entered the hall, Ms. Joyce was already calling out names. For the seating arrangement, I guess. At 8:45am, the english proficiency exam started. It ended exactly 30mins after. Then, Ms. joyce started giving out our numbers. I was part Batch 6 no. 6. Then a thought came out. 6-6? Hindi ba malas yun?

And the panel interview started. I, again, waited for 2hours for our turn. At 11:00am, Ms. Joyce told our batch to line up already because after the panel's break it will be our turn. I got a word from Ms. Joyce, "R. Don't forget to smile ha, masyado kang seryoso, eh." That's the time I started shaking. UBER SHAKING.

We followed the arrows, walking like a real flight attendant. This is so cute. Hehe :) One korean panel gave each of us a peice of paper containing our question. Here's mine.

Good thing I was an active student in school, I have something to answer. They asked us to sit down 'cause they will ask questions. They asked first the japanese girl. Though they were not asking me yet, I see to it that I give my best smile to them. Kahit mahirap. I was looking at the koreans, smiling, when I noticed that one korean panel was staring at me. He even search for my file and started looking at it. He threw out a question.

• Do you know the life of a flight attendant?

I can barely hear him plus his accent. Erg! I answered, confidently. Then a foolow up question from the other korean.

• So, Is it easy or what?

I answered. Then, SMILE. The other panel asked me to remove my bangs from my face because he wants to see my forehead. They asked us to stand 'cause they will look at our skin.

When we went outside the panel room, two koreans asked us to fall in line for the picture taking and for the reach test. Good thing I was able to reach the 218cm. Ang taas niya, promise!

Well, that's the end of my kwento. I'm just hoping that I will receive the golden email from them. Ms. Joyce said that the results will be out at the end of March. So 2-3weeks from now. My plan is to finish everything with regards to my teeth. Para pagdating sa medical, cleared agad. :)

Asiana Airline: Initial Assessment day

Hello. Imma share to you all the dead-tiring assessment day.

Arrived at 8:35am at the Lighthouse in Port Area. Actually, it was really 8:10, but I had a hard time looking for a lot to park my car. I think Lighthouse should provide parking lots for those like me. Such a waste of time searching for a safe place to park your car. Sigh!

I saw few aspirants coming. I thought I was too early, when log on and saw that I was the 113th applicant already. I thought we're only 30plus applicants who were shortlisted.

We were all gathered in one hall and I was seated at the back. I'm such a loner, right? I felt like I don't have friends in the world. Lahat sila magka-kaibigan. I found out that they came from the same company. Like the other group was from Japan Airlines, the other was from Cebu Pacific, etc... And me? I'm from the other planet. Huh?!

While I was looking around, Ms. Joyce called each applicant and arranged it by group with members of 5. Whew! I just said to myself, "Wala! Talo na 'ko, ang daming magaganda." Yes, you read it right. Ang daming magaganda. Sigh times 5.

I waited for 3 hours and yet, 100 plus applicants were not called. They said the screening per group will only last for 10mins.

I waited... and waited... and waited... until.

12nn, LUNCH BREAK. I was thinking if I will take my lunch but, I don't know where. A lot of applicants stayed in the hall so I decided to stay also.

1pm resume, then BROWNOUT. They opened the generator and voila! started again the 2nd batch screening.

around 1:45pm my name was called. I was shaking while waiting. I looked myself in the mirror and saw that the mirror I was holding was shaking. LITERALLY shaking. Hahaha! I was practicing my smile but still couldn't stop myself in shaking.

And it's already our turn. Our group entered a room, walking down the ramp like a Flight Attendant, following the arrows. Very cute. :)

• Self Introduction
• QUESTION: Thinking we are already flight attendants, a terrorist aprroach us, what are we going to do?

Good thing I was the 2nd one to answer. I have time to think. :)) After we all answered the question, one of the panel said "If ever you're not hired as a Flight Attendant, I'll recommend you to the swat team" And we all laughed.

I went home immediately because I was really really sleepy and tired. As I was driving home, I was thinking of my answer. "Did I answered it right? Am I confident enough?" Then I noticed the traffic enforcer was waving at me. Oh crap! VIOLATION.

TE (Traffic enforcer): ma'am, swerving po kayo. Maling mali naman 'yon.

Me: Talaga?

TE: Patingin lisensya.

TE: O, tikitan na kita?

Me: eh ano pa nga ba?

TE: Sa manila city hall 'to ah.

Me: k.

Naisip ko tuloy, maybe it's a sign. BAD SIGN. Wag naman sana.

Asiana Airline: CV submission

Feb 06, 2010, as soon as I've seen the post ad at the workabroad website, I immediately fixed all the required papers and rushed to the Transresources office.

Monday morning, I arrived at their office and looked for the person to visit, Ms. Joyce. She is very accomodating. She asked me to fill up the application form and answer the essay: "SELF-INTRODUCTION: Tell us something about yourself and your future goals." I passed it all to her, the form, and the required papers.

A little interview happened.

• Where did ou find our job opening?
• Did I email you for an invitation?
• Tell me something about yourself. (She cuts me in every word I say, "I'm a grad of Comm Arts a---" "Why did you chose Comm Arts?")
• Why do you want to be a Cabin crew?

"Complete first all the requirements and I will email you if you are shorlisted"

Yun lang.k.bye :)

---------------------

UPDATE:

I went back to Trans office to pass all the lacking requirements. Mr. Edgar (I think) told me the same thing Ms. Joyce last uttered me. Then 5secs before he said that, Ms. Joyce handed me a piece of paper. Since she was interviewing other applicant I couldn't ask her what that paper means. Mr. Edgar said "O shortlisted ka na pala, that's the details of the Initial Assessment." I thought they will email all the details.

March 2 I received an email.

Oh okay. bye.
