If you have ever applied to an airline before, and have NOT been hired, READ THIS! I was a Flight Attendant Recruiter for a major airline for a short time, also a FA for 7 years. There are many things that we must SEE and HEAR to be considered as a prospective flight attendant. We do look at the "Entire Package" that YOU are presenting. From the moment you walk into your interview and exit the facility. Here are some GREAT TIPS to success in your interview process.
1. Do Your RESEARCH before you go on your interview. Buy a book, talk to other flight attendant.
2. Resume must be Outstanding, including an OBJECTIVE.
ex: I am highly enthusiatic, team player, and am willing to RELOCATE to any base. We want to see that you are FLEXIBLE.
3. Dress the part. Wear a professional suit that makes you look like a flight attendant. Ladies- every piece of hair must be pulled up and tight.
4. Talk the part. They like to see that your social and interactive with others. This is why we conduct a GROUP INTERVIEW. We are taking note of your interactions with others. TALK TO PEOPLE IN THE ROOM.
5. Have CONFIDENCE in yourself when you sit with your recruiter in your one-on-one. We as a company want to know why we should hire you. DO NOT say "because I love people and want to travel". This is the obvious. Ex: I want to work for a company that offers a world of "diversity" such as _________ airlines, and that exceeds their customers expectations on a daily basis.
6. Make DIRECT eye contact with your interviewer. We like to see that you have an interest and focus in the job.
7. Conclude your interview with confidence. ex: I hope to hear from you soon, and thank you for your time today. Manners go a LONG WAY.
BTW- Most airlines, again, most airlines, (not every airline) USUALLY let you know on the spot if you have been hired. Often times we will say, "Can you excuse me for just a moment", and bring back your offer of acceptance.
This pretty much sums it up in a short concise manner. Hope this helps you. Let me know what you think.
