I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Air Canada (Toronto, ON) in Apr 2018
Interview
I applied online and about four weeks later received a email from someone in HR asking if I was still interested in the position. After confirming- about a week later I did a very simple phone interview (basic screener type questions, just be yourself) and at the end of the phone interview before hanging up I was scheduled a face to face interview for a few days later.
The face to face interview was “business attire”, which I found a little strange given the job at hand. Nevertheless I suited up, and subsequently felt overdressed at the interview as predicted. The interview it’s self was quite easy and short after the interviewer was made aware that I already work the ramp for another airline and hold a valid security clearance. At the end of the interview I was scheduled the medical for the same afternoon.
The medical was again quite simple and the nurse was super nice. They start with a basic vision test (cover your eye and read the letters on the wall) and then move on to a little mobility test that includes stretches and getting you to walk around the room in the catchers position to simulate what it’s like walking around inside the cargo hold of a airplane. Following the mobility test is a hearing test and then finally a (urine) drug test. A note: if at the end of the medical the nurse asks you to have a sheet filled out and signed by your doctor don’t freak out. I’m on a certain drug that she wanted to know more about so I had to have my doctor describe when, why and how much of the drug I needed. I got the job, so as long as you get it filled out and send it back promptly it shouldn’t matter.
All in all simple and relatively painless process. I had an advantage because of the experience and credentials I already hold but even if you don’t have those as long as you show up, be yourself, dress nicely and demonstrate that you are capable of handling the job you’ll be just fine.
Phone interview with general questions.
If they move forward, video interview is followed.
Also there was a "chat box" interview where they ask you about 10 questions and you have to answer. All questions were easy such as "Did you have any issue with managers, if so, how did you handle the situation"
