  1. Has anyone try to apply today or last week? Please give some tips :) I want also to apply but I have a fear on initial screening because of some scars in my legs :( Thanks.

    1. Hi Rosinie! :) if those scars on your legs can be concealed with make up, I dont think they'll mind, especially since it wont be seen when wearing the Saudia uniform, cos FAs wear pants. But I cant speak on behalf of the agency who does the initial screening. No harm in trying though! :) Just try to go to the IPAMS office :) Goodluck! :)

    2. Hi. I was in IPAMS last Friday, it was my first time! They didn't check our skin though. They just measured our height and weight then If you are qualified you're up for a short interview. They told us to wait for their message most probably on March because the employer-Saudia-has not given the exact date of the final interview yet.

      Delete
    3. Hello! That`s good to hear and helpful to those who wants to apply in IPAMS. Actually from what I heard, final interviews will be done probably first week of March. Best of luck to you!

  2. hi lara want to apply din sana today kaso im wondering kasi my height is 5'2 1/2 but my weight is only 45.8. baka bagsak na agad ako :( what do you think po? thanks

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Hi! Sorry for the late reply, have you been to IPAMS today? I`m not sure what 5'2 1/2 is, but if it reaches 160cm, you`re in, if you`re underweight naman, I`m not sure if they`re strict with underweight girls, but I know someone who didn`t get in because of being underweight. I suggest you eat a lot of carbs and drink lots of water before going to the agency for weigh in :)

    1. Hi! Sorry for the late reply :) But no na, they're done hiring. Try checking the ipams website from time to time to check if there's an opening. With regards to your braces, I think it wont be a problem during the initial screening but they'll ask you to remove it for the final interview :)

  15. Hi Lara,

    Would you be able to know when is the next open day this year?

    ReplyDelete
  16. Hi! :) Sorry, I actually have no idea. But most probably and hopefully it will be the same time of hiring like in the past few years, which falls on Feb, March or April :)

  17. Hi Lara! You are truly blessed indeed. You were sent back in manila to process your application thru agency and you made it! You inspired me so much. I really want to apply in Saudi Airlines but my height is just 157.5 like 5'2. I think if it's meant for you, even though u'r just 5'1 or 5'2 if its yours it will always be yours. ButI haven't tried my luck yet. Have you seen some FA's in Saudia who's height is approximately standing 5'2 in height? Thank you so much

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Hi!! Thank you so much :) It`s really flattering and inspiring as well for me, makes me want to write more about this journey :) I honestly don`t know the exact height of the girls I see, but I stand at 170.8cm, and I really see girls that are way shorter than I am. It`s actually better if you try to go to the agency once they`re hiring again in Manila, a friend told me that some girls who did not reach the 160cm min., and went during a normal day and not the open day, they were asked to do a reach test :) So good luck and God bless on your future application! :)

  22. Hi Ms. Lara! I'm Di Anne. FA aspirant. I want to apply next Saturday for Saudia, I am standing 159cms but I can reach up to 213cms (which is a requirement) in one hand. I wonder how they do the reach test, one hand or both hands? I'm from Baguio and I really want to apply. Are there any chances that they will consider me if I'm short of 1cm? Thank you so much.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Hello Ms. Di Anne! :) I`m not actually sure about the reach test, but I think both hands yata? Sorry, I really have no idea :) I think if you reach naman the reach test req, they`ll consider. Good luck and God bless :)

Hello Di Anne! :) I don`t really know the requirement for arm reach sorry, but it`s okay if you`re 1cm less, kaso sometimes parang iba yung height measurement nila so baka maging lower pa or higher.

  26. Hi! Why does most Sv crews only have domestic flights? How can you get international flights? Why can't you always have one? Thanks in advance!

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Hi! Because Saudi Arabia alone has 13 provinces/cities:) They earn a lot through these domestic flights since all these domestic flights are always full flights, imagine full flights like Riyadh, Dammam from/to Jeddah that go from around 4am-11pm every hour. We can`t have pure international flights, unless you are First Class flyer. But they also have few domestic flights on their rosters. I hope I answered your question :)

  27. Hi! I've been anxious about this deep little scar on the right side of my face (near the nose) that's about 1mm due to chicken pox. Would it be an issue to get in the Cabin Crew position? I hope you can reply. Thank you!

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Hi! Can it be concealed through make up? If yes, I guess it doesn`t really matter. Although, I don`t know how strict they are lately when it comes to scars on the face. Good luck :)

  28. Hi! I've read one of your replies regarding physical exam. Were you guys fully undressed? What particular exams did they do? And also, when you said they'll check your face closely, how close was that? Hope you can answer all the ques. Thank you so much!

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Hi! We had our undies on hehe. You mean the medical, right? With the physical exam, they will just check your whole body (including the breasts and anus), and will note down scars and/or tattoos, etc. For the face, I think they check that during the assessment period. I have no idea, really, sorry. But I think they will notice scars if it`s uncovered. You`re welcome :)

    1. Hello Cristina! For local hire, I think initial assessment lang like height weight and then they`ll schedule you for interview. Just try it, it`s easier than having a weight that`s too high hehe.

  40. Hi Ms. Lara,I've been reading about your blog as a Flight attendant
    and I was so inspired by you so I decided to give it a shot.
    I went to IPAMS last Feb 21 for screening as Cabin Crew in Saudi Airlines.Luckily I passed the weight, height etc and the agency said I am shortlisted for the final interview on March 18 to 26.They said they will send text message or Email but until not I didn't receive any.Usually how long before they contact the applicants for confirmation? Like if the final screening will be on 18th, a week or 3 days before?

    I actually came back here in Manila for this and I don't know any other applicants so Idk who I can ask about the process. I'm thinking of sending email the agency but I don't want want them to pissed off lol maybe they will think I'm impatient.

    I hope to hear from you.Thank you
    Have a good day.God bless

    1. Hi! What do you mean by payment? Actually there`s no processing fee, you just have to pay for the medicals and then you can refund it right after you passed :)

    2. Payment for the processing of the visa, etc. I have a friend who went through an agency for Oman Air and was asked to pay 55k for the visa. Will ipams charge a certain fee too? Plus the medicals were shouldered by the applicant as well.

    3. As for ipams, they didnt let us pay anything for the processing :) Only the medicals, but once we passed the medicals, we get to refund the payment :)

  60. Hi Ms. Lara,

    I just wanna know, I applied June 20 at Ipams then was called for final interview last August. Unfortunately, didnt pass the final interview, i don’t know if its because my requirements was incomplete. I wasnt able to bring my diploma last time. So there, now Im planning to apply again this November. Do you know if theyre strict with the 6 months reapplying period or not? Do they usually check it? Thanks!

    1. Hi! I`m sorry for the late reply, but for the initial screening, I think the IPAMS people are responsible for that. Hope your application went well! :)

  63. Hi Lara, how is the process for the medical? I have goiter. It's already stable and at its normal activity but still taking my maintenance. Also, it's barely noticeable. No need for surgery since my doctor said that it is getting smaller and back to its original size through medication.

    1. Hi! For the medical usually its just the basics, xray, blood tests, eye exam,etc. if it doesnt show in the results, its probably fine. Goodluck! :)

    2. Thanks Lara! I'm going to IPAMS tom morning for a 2nd interview. Would you know how the process works after that? Kasi Nov20-26 would be the final interview sched once we pass the 2nd interview. Any tips? :)

      Delete
    3. You`re welcome! :) I`m not really sure about that cos during our time, we only had initial and final interview. But as what a friend told me about her 2nd interview, it`s supposed to be like a preparation for the final interview. Goodluck! :)

      Delete
    4. Thanks Lara! :) Keeping my fingers crossed and praying to get in!

      Delete
    5. Hi Lara! 2nd interview done! :) I think it went well. They didn't interview us, it was more of grooming. They checked our make up, hair, attire, and how we walked. Also comm skills. They just gave a comment about my make up, on what I need to change/improve. Then they said they will notify us by email, call and txt if we pass. keeping my fingers crossed for a final interview! :)

    6. Hi! So it was like a prep for final interview? Aah, then you still have to pass that, dami na pala process ngayon. Goodluck and God bless! :)

      Delete
    7. Yup, is that how the final interview will go? They will just check your grooming and comm skills?

    1. Hi Ms Chelle! Sorry for the late reply :) I think you can just leave it as it is? Is it super short? Or clip it. Or something that would make them see your face, like without the bangs and all, if you have bangs hehe.

    3. Hi! I`m so sorry for the late reply. I think it`s okay as long as its not visible through the skirt you`re going to use during the screening. It shouldnt be a big problem since we actually wear trousers for uniform :)

  77. Hi Miss Lara! I received an SMS from IPAMS that I will be scheduled for re-weighing on February 17. They asked me to be in corporate attire and full makeup, too. A lot of FA applicants I know in a viber group received it as well. But I know I am not underweight as per their length weight chart. Do you have any idea about this procedure? thanks for your response! :)

    1. Hello, Johanna! I`m sorry but this is the first time I heard about the re-weighing, so I don`t have an idea about that, and I`m sorry I can`t answer that. Maybe it`s a second screening as well? Good luck though! :)

  85. Hi! I haven't received any text or call as yet but IPAMS already interviewed me and the interviewer told me to wait then. I'm actually 3 kilos over and I'm having a hard time to loose weight. Anyways, I'm already 42 years old but I have a very extensive experience in the cruise industry (9 years) and I don't look like one. I hope I could make it though.
