I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Cathay Pacific
Interview
I took the online assessment. The test content is derived from CUT-E, and you can search for sample questions on Google. Overall, it was relatively simple. After completing it, I received the initial invitation about two hours later.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Assessment Modules: - Monitoring ability - Spatial orientation - Complex control - Applied numeracy - Multi-tasking - Reaction speed - Work related behaviour
Questions included what you know about the CPP (e.g., training facilities, training bond), why you want to join the programme, why you want to be a pilot. Wasn't very technical.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Cathay Pacific (Hong Kong)
Interview
2 people from HR, one asked about only interest and passion related questions. Whereas, the other only about cadet pilot programme related questions.
Not sure about their responses but one thing is be sure to not drift away too much or over share, as they had to tell me time twice about “now coming back to the main question” and mostly repeated sentence was “be specific”
