Philippine Airlines Recruitment Experience


The PR (pal) Experience
Pal Medical Building, Mactan Cebu International Airport





First Step: Passing of resume, then measuring of height and weight and eyesight test.

Second Step: Impact interview. I entered a small room. One male interviewer asked me to stand straight, walk, look to the left, right and back. Then i was asked one question: tell me about yourself? After that i was asked to leave the room and wait for the result outside.

Then my name was called, I was given a piece of paper saying congratulations you made it to the next step. With the paper was a schedule for the orientation.

Third Step: The Orientation. It was held at the Days Hotel. On that day the hotel was very crowded, there were about 150 to 200 applicants. The Orientation had to be done in 2 batches. On the orientation itself they discussed the company's mission, vision, salary and benefits and there was a mention of the training bond (50k).

After the discussion we were then asked to introduce ourselves in front of everybody within 30 seconds.

Next, we were asked one by one to go at the back, they will then look at your arms palms up then palms down, the face, teeth, mouth open, then the legs front view and back view.

After the assessment, a group of people were called and they were for 'conditional' status. This means they have a condition that they need to meet first before they can continue their application process. It can either be the weight or the eyesight.

For the rest of us we were given papers with either thank you for coming or a schedule for the IQ exam.

Fourth Step: IQ exam, english exams, math and IQ exams. Time pressured and quite difficult.

Fifth Step: Panel Interview. After exam we were asked to call the pal office in 2 weeks time. I was one of the passers, we were then briefed that the Panel Interview will be held in manila. Airfare and hotel will be shouldered by us. (this kind of turned me off for a bit, I can't afford it at that time) We will then be informed of the schedule of the interview. It took me about 2 months in waiting.

Conclusion: While waiting I was hired by Airphilexpress/ PAL Express and I decided to withdraw my application with PAL.

But my friends who went through the panel interview shared with me their experience.

Airfare was shouldered by PAL, you have a roundtrip ticket to cebu for free on the same day.

The Panel Interview
It was held on PLC (Pal Learning Center)
Upon arrival at the building you will have to register, and wait in line to be called. Once called you will enter a room where in there will be a panel of Company executives, trainers and HR executives to interview you. You will stand in front you will see a line up of tables and chairs, it is exactly like an audition.  Then you will be questioned from simple and easy to unexpected and uncommon questions. And after that the verdict is given right away and some comments on how they find you in the interview.

*note this happened 2 years ago (feb 2010), now the company is owned by another entity and there is an additional step for the new recruitment process:  The Mr. Ramon Ang interview, wherein there is a one on one interview with the President of the company.

    1. Hi sis, thank you for reading my blog! I understand the pressure of applying for this position. It is very scary and nerve wrecking at the same time. my mentality when applying is: i need to apply to 10 positions for me to get 1 job. Its a numbers game hija. just think of it as a learning experience kahit hindi ka matanggap ok lang yan.

      Remember: you miss 100% of the shots that you dont take.

      re:english my tip: read newspaper out loud everyday. pag may hindi ka maintindihan na word, highlight mo and get the meaning sa dictionary.
      I am not saying it will be easy. you have to work your ass off. but in the end, it will be worth it.

  8. hi..ate.. I'm a Masscom student and Its my dream to became an FA and I'm planning to apply for pal soon,but I'm afraid, what if in the fourth step I might fail, I would just like to ask about the IQ test, is it really difficult? what type of test that they actually give to their applicants? heh TBH I'm not good in math actually and my English is not that fluent.... and about the panel? are you given a certain situation and your being asked to demo in front of them? is that how panel works? plss.. I really want to apply as an FA in PAL.. plss help me how...thank you..

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. the panel interview changes from time to time. sometimes its just you standing in front of 5 people. sometimes its a group of applicants standing in front of 5 people and you are all asked one by one. i guess that really depends on the time left and the volume of applicants

      iq test is a time pressured exam i think 4-5 subjects. english, math, logic, problem solving etc. you should review review review.. because even if you pass the interview during training if you dont pass the exams about the planes you can be terminated.. get your study habits in place..

      no demo in front of panel.. i only tried that in Air niugini..

      just have the right attitude and im sure you will get the dream job stefany! aja!

  48. hello po. sana po magreply po kayo sa question ko. so here's my question;
    since may k-12 na dito sa Pilipinas, you need to decided what course you want as early as possible. kasi when you reach senior high(gr11&12) pipili ka ng course na gusto, though i think pedeng ang kukunin mo sa college ay di masyadong connected. anw, gr.9 pa ho ako then i choosed Cookery for our specific subject in school, and when i reach senior high i will take HRM. kc naisip.ko na malapit lang ang pagiging FA sa course na yan. kaso im still confused and undecided. i also want to take business or culinary. so the question is; is there a certain course you will take if gus2 mo maging FA? or u can still apply para maging FA kahit ibang course/degree and nakuha at pinagaralan mo?

    hope for your reply. thanks. ^^

    1. you can be an FA regardless of what course you have. There are a lot of nursing graduates (even board passers) but still chooses to be a cabin crew. I suggest Hospitality industry related course would be a great help to gain skills and confidence.

  68. Its really inspiring! From then on, its my dream to be a Flight Attendant But I am a graduate of MGT ACCOUNTING. Actually I tried at Cebu Pacific last August sad to say I failed on the first stage, maybe because of my pimple marks on my forehead and my height. I was just wondering I know that my height is 5'3 1/2 but when they measure it the HR said that my height is almost 5'3 meaning, it did not meet their height requirement. Regarding with the pimple marks, she asked is there any chance of treatment, I said Yes, then I explained that these pimples outburst since I started working. Maybe because of the adjustments. I am just so frustrated and sad.

    May I ask? In PAL, is it allowed if you have birth marks in your face. Because I do have 3 near my nose, left side of my chin and another on the other side of the cheeks It is not so big, but I am just so scared to try at PAL because of these.

    Another, do you have recommendations on how I can treat my pimple marks? I mean the faster way. Compared with the time that I tried at Cebu Pac it is more lighter now, But I really want to treat it faster.

    I hope Ms. Krizzy you can give me some thoughts, tips and reminders regarding when applying in Airlines. It would really help me a lot. See you soon at the Sky! :))))

    Thank you!

    1. You can be a flight attendant, though you need to meet the minimum requirements they need. good communication skills, clear skin, Height etc. you can visit airline sites to know if they're hiring. best of luck!

  85. Hello. Thank you for posting this very informative article. Anyway, I've been wanting to work as a flight attendant for the longest time now, but there's one thing stopping me from pushing through with my application: I have a receding hairline. I'm not really kalbo naman, but my hair in the front is thinning a bit. Do you think this will be an issue? Thanks a lot for your response.

  97. Such an inspiring blog, Ms. Kaykrizz!

    I am 19 and I've been thinking about applying as a FA. I have a few questions and I hope you'd help me by answering them and by giving me some tips. :)

    1) Is there any chance that you'll still get accepted having only an inch shorter than the required height? I am encouraging myself here by thinking that my confidence is enough and that I have the brains and the attitude and all that, but it's about my height. I am only 5'2.

    2) The part on your blog where there's this"legs front view and back view".. I have thick thighs, and I have been working out to tone its shape. Should I be worried that this might be just the reason why I won't get hired?

    3) I have a total of three piercings on my left ear. Should I close my extra piercings? Or do they allow it, but with the use of concealers?

    4) Besides having thick thighs.. Sadly and unfortunately, I don't have flawless legs. Are they against applicants who wax off the hairs on their legs for their chance to be hired?


    I really hope that you would update your blog and answer the questions (not only my questions). Answers will be much appreciated!! :) I also hope that you'll continue to inspire, motivate and encourage people, though it may be just a simple blog like this! :)
