Thank you, Luke, for sacrificing ur so much of your retirement time giving talks & tips to CC wannbe like us. I hope to bring good new in this up-coming recruitment and I believe there will be many more & endless "Thank You" and "Successful" testimonals.
Many Thanks to you and ur wife.

Hi,

I am residing in KL and to attend the talk in Singapore don’t sound convenient to me due to the work schedule.

Is there a way where I can pay the fee and then you send me those details which is going to be included in your talk?

Thanks

My reply:

It is not fair for you to pay me the fee by me just sending you notes. I need to personally see and assess you.Well in your case,if you need any advice please feel free to email me.

Thanks,

Luke Tan

This one asked for help from Amsterdam.

Hello Mr. SS Stan,
I readed about you on the internet that you train the cabin crew.Next week I'm going to apply at an airline company in the netherlands, there I come from.I am very nervous and I wondered myself if you have any tips for me. This is really my dream job and I hope that I will be selected.
Ms "C"

My reply (free of charge, fo course)


Hi "C",
If you are qualified to apply,my tips to you would be SMILE like crazy during the interview. Look as pleasant and friendly as possible. Show the interviewers you are hungry for the job. Dress neatly and wear some makeup(if u are a gal). Read up about the destinations the airline is operating to and the background of Amsterdam Airlines.
Good Luck
Best Regards,

Luke Tan

Thanks a million!

A Big Thank you from Ms 'C' and Ms "A"...Next Talks on 6 April

Dear Mr Tan,

The final round went smoothly for me this time.. thanks to your kind advice. From the bottom of my heart, I would like to say a big THANK YOU for making my childhood dream come true! May God bless you and your family! :)

With warm wishes, Miss C. (Your student)

Dear Mr Tan,

I will like to thank you very much. You reassured us very much before the interview with your light hearted encounters as a CC and wise advice for the interviews. Mr Tan is very patient and kind to us. He called us up after every interview and remembers each and every of his students as a special individual. I am especially touched by his kind gesture. To me, Mr Tan is not only my advicer/ trainer, he is a friend too. Thank you for making my dream come through. And believing in us that we can do it even when others stop believing in us. When others believe that our numerous attempts in the walk-ins are futile, he believes that we can do it. And he never put us down, only gentle yet truthful advice. Thank you! Hope we will keep in touch! =)

Cheers...from Ms A

Ms A finally made it! (refer to her email below when she failed her management last month and I told her she will make it ...look at the date that email was posted)

Miss "A":

Linda's Testimony.

He is the man who changed Eric's life.The man who made everything possible for him when all his relatives,colleagues and close friend told him that it's impossiable for him to get in.Although Mr Tan have help already helped Eric achieved his dreams. He still keep in touch with us and check up on how we are doing.Sometimes i wonder if he is some kind angels or saint out on a quest to help those in need.

Thanks a zillion Linda for the kind comment!

I stumbled across this blog recently of a SIA stewardess wannabe and was pleasantly surprised to read Linda's reply to a "Horsey" about me. The following is a cut n paste of the comments/answer under 22 Jan. posting,

Serene my 26 January participant.

Serene has attended the SIA cabin crew interviews a couple of times and had never made it to the 1 on 1 (3rd round)round. Here is an extract of her message to me via the Cbox:

Serene: Hey Mr Tan, i will definitely try again in Feb. This is the 1st time i reach 1 to 1 round and i'm sure i'll succeed one day. After attending your talk on 26 Jan, i feel so much more confident.

Lastly, a very big "gum sia" , will keep you updated once i clear my medical as i am stll keeping my fingers X until i sign the contract

For the peeps out there, believe it or not, I consulted Mr SSTAN and went throught every thing with a breeze and now waiting for medical to clear

I never even reached the mgt round once in my life, Without your valuable advice and most imptly, you made me believe that I can be part of it

Mr Tan, you will always be remembered by me as I am a candidate that went 8-10 times interview and yet dont know where went wrong

Serene made it to the 3rd round for the first time.

Serene: Hey Mr Tan, i will definitely try again in Feb. This is the 1st time i reach

1 to 1 round and i'm sure i'll succeed one day. After attending your talk on 26 Jan,

i feel so much more confident. It really help! Thanks a Million !

Joycie said...regarding her success at 27 January 2008 SIA Cabin Crew Interview

A big thank you to Luke and Richard for conducting this very valuable talk for cabin crew wannabes!

Without the talk, I do believe 270108 walk in interview would be a disaster for me. Luckily with their help and guidance, I manage to clear all the interview with a breeze!

I'm glad that I made the right choice for attending the talk and I would recommend this to all cabin crew wannabes as you will gain more than what you expected.

Cheers + thumbs up!
