This is some of the requirement to become the much sought after cabin crew,
Singapore Girls, from flightattendants.org.
The Standards SQ Has to Keep Up
Before you are hired:
------------
You have to be under 25 years old to be invited for the interview.
You must bring a swim suit and wear it during one of the interviewing process. You must CATWALK with it in front of a panel of judges.

swimsuits are used during the water confidence test, and after completion of the WCT, you are to walk to the beautician there who will check your skin for visible scars/tattoos.
~
---------------
They do a grooming inspection during the interview that means, hair, legs, butt, arms, make-up.
If you have a scar or a tatoo, you are eliminated automatically. If you are overweight/don't have a what they consider a nice bum and breast, you are out. If you are not pretty enough, you are out.
Of course, you cannot be married or have children.

另一位新航空服说道:
about being pretty enough, there were many who weren't good looking who got selected too. they weren't very stringent about being pretty, it is being charismatic that counts. many of the not-so-good-looking girls who got selected were of a different kind; be it the thinking, way they talk, walk, behave and most importantly, they didn't merely come for just another interview or just another job.

----------------
There are height restrictions. Those who are below 1.58 meter are out.
~
另一位新航空服说道:
the height regulations are VERY VERY strict, but even then there are exceptions to that.
if they do not fulfill 1.58m's, they can try to check the if their arms reach are 212 cms.
there was one girl who was 1.55ms and managed to get selected after she fought her way to prove to the interviewers that she can reach 212cms.
~
After you are hired:
-------------------------
You MUST maintain your weight/height proportion as they will not supply you with another uniform for size purposes.
If you did gain weight, they will ground you and post you to an office position till you lose your weight.
You MUST wear make-up. And that is not only some mascara and lipstick only... THE WHOLE thing. Apparently because of the lights in the plane, they must wear thick enough so it shows that they have make-ups on.
Guys do get hired but most of them will do ONLY galley positions. They want the SINGAPORE GIRLS in the aisle.
When the girls kneel down, the uniform is made in a way that customers can see part of their breasts.
They wear sandals.
Hair must be in a bun or tied up VERY neatly. Baby hair must be shaved or else... you are out.

being a singapore girl isn't a dream for many. you can't count the number of stewardess leaving after fulfilling the minimum bond of 2 years. many are there for the pay, and even you and i know it (but this doesn't mean it's applicable to ALL). reason being the higher qualifications needed for the interview. SQ isn't like our national carriers. they make the job look elegant and only professionals gets a chance. over here, a SPM holder who failed 5 subjects can still apply to our local airline and become a steward/stewardess.
