SIA

I went for the SIA(Singapore Airlines) career talk this evening. Having only approximately 3 hours of sleep last night, I was struggling to keep awake while listening to the wonderful history, strategies and experiences of SIA.

I was disappointed to find that this career talk had nothing on Engineering careers in SIA, it was mostly managerial, administrative careers.

And then we had the cabin crew recruitment effort. There was a flight steward and stewardess doing this part. The moment the guy started to speak, I thought "This guy sounds like an emcee". And we found out later that he in fact was an emcee for some club in SIA. The stewardess? Let's just say that she lives in the present. She does not seem to understand the concept of past tense. She related a past incident totally in the present tense.

All in all, the first part of the talk felt like a history lecture. The second part felt like a badly scripted presentation.

Damn, I don't think I'll apply to be a cabin crew anymore.
