First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at PIA.
Project Manager
There were two rounds of interviews. First, a webinar with the boss. Then, an on-site interview with other colleagues. The interviewers were very nice and asked general questions. It might take some time to get the outcome.
- Can you describe yourself in a work setting?
Trainee
The interview was conducted online via Zoom. The managers and interviewers were friendly, creating a relaxed atmosphere. The interview was mostly in Urdu, with initial questions and the introduction in English. I wasn't hired because the training program was in Karachi, and I was in Lahore. They did offer me a higher stipend if I relocated, but I had to decline.
- What makes you the ideal candidate for this trainee position?
- Would you be open to relocating to Karachi for the role?
- Can you explain why you failed your Audit exams twice?
Aircraft Mechanic Assistant
We need to do routine inspections to make sure the aircraft is safe. You'll be doing all sorts of checks like D, C, "A" checks, and also supplemental checks. Keep your work area clean all the time and make sure you follow all the company's safety rules and regulations, which are in the MOE & Technical Procedure Manual. All the work you do will be under the guidance of our crew chief and engineering team. You'll also do a firefighting and corporate safety course to learn how to deal with hazards.
- Can you explain the different manuals like IPC, AMM, CMM, MM, SRM?
Assistant Manager
This process is quite delayed. First, you have to pay a Rs.1000 challan, and after a year, they might call you for an interview. They conduct a couple of interviews with the hiring manager or DGM. They'll let you know if you're selected via a call or email. Honestly, having a reference matters a lot here.
- Can you explain the difference between cost and expense?
- What motivated your choice to join PIA?
- Could you discuss IFRS15?
