Applying to become an air hostess in many countries involves a rigorous interview procedure . But in China , they place equal emphasis on those applying to work on their new bullet trains . 1,500 applicants took part in five different professional exams in a bid to become one of the 90 new students for the bullet train attendant training course earlier today . Four applicants give their best pose during the exams at Shandong Jiaotong University . One woman shows off her dancing skills in front of the judges . The mix of women and men went through a number of different tests at the event held by Shandong Jiaotong University in Jinan , Shandong province of China . The guidelines to become one of the attendants are extremely strict and take into account everything from skills to body height . Zulhumar Tursun , 22 , who was enrolled on an earlier training programme told China Daily that when she applied in 2014 , she was chosen from nearly 5,000 applicants . She said : 'Applicants need to be 166 to 174 centimeters tall and the desired weight ranges from 52 to 58 kilograms . ' Balance is a key issue on the bullet trains , which reach extremely high speeds . Some of the women were already dressed in attendant uniforms for the exams . A woman applies her make-up ahead of meeting the judges . The successful applicants are then sent to train in internships on high-speed lines across the country . Drivers of the trains have to undergo even stricter tests that take several aspects of their health into account . Driver Adi Turdi told the paper : 'We had our eyesight , hearing and hearts checked , as well as our psychological condition , because the requirements for bullet train drivers are higher than those for operators of lower-speed trains . 'We [ then ] traveled to Beijing to attend interviews and training courses . ' One applicant limbers up ahead of her dance recital . 1,500 applicants tried out for just 90 positions on the bullet trains . The women and men parade around the chairs in front of the judges .
