My younger daughter used to work for Cathay Pacific but switched to Singapore Airways.

When she interviewed in Singapore the interview had 2 two parts. The technical part and the service part she had to change into a bikini for the service part of the interview. I kid you not. Try that in the US!

She also had to speak either Cantonese or Mandarin as well as English and they prefer a third language such as Malay or Japanese.

FWIW, I've flown both Cathay Pacific and Singapore Airlines. Service on both is so good that you are actually a little disappointed when the flight arrives.

No, it doesn't hurt that they hire eye candy either.

I was in Singapore years ago and I never forget this job ad in their newspaper “Female Chinese Receptionist Wanted”. Since many people (seems like a majority, but probably not) of Singapanese are non-Chinese (usually Indian or Malay), this effectively cuts through the game-playing and doesn’t waste the time of the employer or perspective employees. It actually MAKES SENSE, but most Americans now are two metrosexual to understand why.
