Hey guys! It's Miss Kay Krizz!
Welcome back to my channel!
If you are new here, I do all videos about flight attendant interview tips.
I do beauty and lifestyle videos and travel vlogs.
So today's video is extra special.
It's gonna be called "The #FlightAttendant Tag"
This is actually in collaboration with my YouTube friend, Ebony Cristina.
So after this video, I'm going to show you her channel
and she also had the same exact video with a different version of it
so check that out after watching this video!
So if you can't wait to start this video like I do, just keep on watching!
So Flight attendant Tag questions are questions that my friend Ebony and I come up with
and we just wanted to start this round cause this is something that
happens around the Youtube world - there's like the #BoyfriendTag,
#50 FactsAboutmeTag and we never seen anything like A Flight Attendant Tag yet.
So we want to start this out
and I'm gonna tag those people that I know who are Flight Attendants and YouTubing
I hope that they take this challenge after it.
So here are questions:
1. How long have you been a flight attendant?
I've been a flight attendant for almost six years.
Three years in the Philippines and three years abroad.
2. Did you always want to be a flight attendant?
Well it's a tricky question for me. When I was a kid I had never really thought about it
but when I grew up, I had an awareness of what a flight attendant is.
I started having the desire to become that person.
I wanted to be a flight attendant too.
When I grew up a little bit more. That has become my obsession and has become a struggle for me.
but in the end, I got it and I'm very thankful for the opportunity.
3. Why did you become a flight attendant?
Well for me, it is a combination of a dream and practical reason.
The dream is to travel around the world for free.
It's more of like an escape for what kind of life I had before.
It's not that I don't have a great life, but that time I had a great life in Cebu.
But I just want to see what's out there for me.
My number one goal is to go out. See the world, be more aware of what's going around.
I want to save. I want to save a lot of money to start my own business.
It's an investment or financial move on my part as well as desire and dream
the willingness to travel to go out and explore
It's a win-win situation for me.
it's like everything points to that direction
4. In your opinion what are the three best parts of being a flight attendant?
I would say the job itself!
In my opinion. Before I become a flight attendant,
I started working as a call center agent for two companies.
Convergys and Xlibris. When I was in Convergys, no offense guys
those people who are in the call center industry, but for me I want a job that is working with my hands
so if I am sitting in a place or a long I can't take it.
I think I'm ADHD but I really want to move around.
When I was in college, I was working in a fast-food restaurant. It's called KFC.
I was working there and I loved the job! It's because I'm always busy and moving around
so when I become a flight attendant I realized it's like basically working for KFC
but it's 10x the salary!
it's an upgraded level of that. So for me that's amazing and that's the part of the job that I love.
That you're always on your feet, you're always doing something, you're working with your hands.
The second best part for me is, I am forced to smile at people. I'm not really this kind of person.
Those people who know me personally can vouch for this.
When they first met me, they thought I was a ****** coz I don't really smile a lot.
When I have a poker face it naturally becomes a bitchy
it's called the resting bitchface
In this job I am forced to smile more. It just basically puts me in a good mood.
You begin the job by greeting passengers .
I love that part when I am in front and i'm the one checking the boarding pass
I have to come up with different greetings like for example
"Hi! Good morning. Welcome aboard!" "Hello, How are you today?"
It doesn't have to be the same thing and I really like that part.
looking into people's eyes and sometimes I would get a smile back sometimes no
but it's okay. I really like doing it. It's like a role playing game for me.
I really love it. So that's number two.
The third best part of the job for me is the layover.
Because it's a new city, a new world and you have to explore it!
Even if you've been there ten times already, it's still like there something new to do.
Again... That's the job like always busy on your feet.
Greeting the people, smilling and the layover. That's the three best part of the job for me.
5. What is your favorite beauty or health tip when flying?
Always be hydrated!
Drink lots of water. This is my best tip for you guys if you are flying.
because in the plane, air is dry. It is recycled oxygen you guys and that makes
your skin drier and that means you will get wrinkled much faster but if you
combat it with drinking lots of water,
You can get bored with water right?You just put lemon, mint leaves or whatever to make it interesting
So you have to do that. As much as possible finish one big bottle of water per flight.
That's the rule because skin - you can never get it back once it's ruined.
You gotta have to really take care of it.
Diet, exercise and moisturizers they're just
second great help but if you want first class help for your skin, you're gonna drink that water girl!
So yeah! That's my beauty tip.
7. What is the toughest thing about training?
Everything! If I were to pick...
The drills. You can't say the answer. You're supposed to act it out.
It's actually the combination of everything that you learned. You have to put it into action.
You have to be smart, you have to be alert, you have to be present
Also you have to know what to do in case. You have to study and you have to practice
and for me that's the most difficult part
8. How do you balance relationships and work?
It is very difficult. I admit guys, it's really hard especially for people who are in a long-distance relationship
When I first become a flight attendant internationally,
I had a boyfriend and the relationship didn't work out.
The thing is, if you're in a long-distance relationship it's like there is nothing left.
The physical touch is not there. The chemistry is not there..
it's just your mind playing with each other and you gotta find ways to be creative
Patience and faith. Also the most important is you've gotta have a plan and work on that plan
It will be your inspiration to move, to carry on every day
That's I guess what made it work for me and John.
We had the same vision, same goals. And we both are taking steps and actions towards it.
That's my love and work relationship balance.
I mean my work and relationship balance.
9. If you weren't a flight attendant what would you be doing?
I would be doing YouTube.
That's all I ever want to do ever since I discovered YouTube.
I'm like obsessed about it, trying to learn everything I can about it.
and that's just all I wanted to do.
I'd be an online entrepreneur YouTuber.
10. What is your favorite layover?
My favorite layover is Milan in Italy. I just love Italy!
I don't know why but Italy. I love the food to be I love the food, the ambiance
the aura, the vibes of the place. It's just amazing guys
You should really go and try to see Italy if you can.
I just resonate with it a lot. Whenever I'm there I'm just happy.
11. What is your favorite flight route?
Well, of course going back home. In Manila.
That will be it coz people are nice, job is easy, and you get to go home and see your loved ones
even if it's just a layover. That's my favorite flight route.
12. Who are your Flight attendant inspiration?
Oh my God! My number one inspiration is Miss Starr. (starvillanueva.com)
She is a blogger, she worked for Qatar Airways and she is the first blogger flight attendants out there.
whenever I was feeling down when I was applying for the job
I would always go back to her blogs and read it from the start
and read it over and over again. It really helped me to relive the dream,
helped me to get motivated keep on keeping on - like they say.
Miss Star, she's the best example for me.
The reason I love her is because she's a Filipina and she came from the same country
and she's a writer which I resonate a lot coz I love to write and she's a blogger
and she shares her experiences with us and at the same time she's very smart with money.
If you follow her blogs, you will see where she puts her money.
Even though she doesn't really need that much, but she's really smart about it.
The first thing she bought, I think was a car and then a vacant lot
and then she had a Photoshop or
It's like an ID photo, just a shop for photography and then she added spa
It's called Star Bliss Spa in Quezon City and I love it!
She has three branches now and this
is the kind of life that I would like to have.
So that's why I am so inspired by her. She's my idol.
Other flight attendants? There is nothing else really. It is just her. She's the one who inspired me to write my own
blog, to do the YouTube videos.
She's like a shining star in the middle of a dead night.
This is how it feels like when you just got rejected from applying in your dream job and she's just
this hope that I have during those times.
So I really love her, I'm a super fan!
Ms. Star, hi! how are you?
She's my inspiration.
Question number 13:
How has your life changed since becoming a flight attendant?
Well since I started applying in the Philippines, there's a lot of minor changes.
Number one, I'm not able to be there for my barkada outings anymore.
I have a different schedule. If it is their off, I have to work. If it's my off ,they have to work.
So I gotta have to learn how to entertain myself on my own because the people
around me, my family and friends - they live in a different world and I'm like always on call.
I work on holidays. I work early in the morning. I work late at night. That's the biggest change.
But you know, it's worth it for me. I really love the job. It's not boring. Promise!
Desk job for me, it's the most boring job. So I can't stand desk job.
That's the alternative.
The next change that I found:
I become more of a beauty and makeup enthusiast. I've become an enthusiast for
beauty because number one, our job makes you older faster.
So you gotta be smart. You should be taking care of your skin every single day
or else you're going to look old faster.
I've become more aware of how to take
care of your skin and how to take care of your body.
Every health thing like smoothie, juicing, every exercise regimen that it's like effective, we're on it because it's
something that would benefit our health and our job is mainly using our physical body to do the job.
So you gotta take care of the asset which is your body.
I really changed a lot in that area because before I was just be "woke up like this"!
Go to work like this with a hoodie on.
After I become a flight attendant, I've become more aware of death
and also if your friends and your family knows that you are a flight attendant, they have a certain expectations
if you are from Asia. But if you are from Asia: you have to be pretty. You have to be beautiful.
There are times when we're only human and we look like really bad
and when people mention my job...
I feel ashamed that I am not looking my best.
So being a flight attendant had inculcated me to always present your best foot forward or always look your best.
Question number 14: What is your advice for anyone looking to become a flight attendant?
Well, I have lots of advice if you're tuning in this channel.
But the main one is "believe in yourself".
When you believe that you can do it even if others don't believe that you can because
at the end of the day, what truly matters is what you think, what you feel
and not about what others think and feel about you.
If you believe in yourself enough thatyou can do the job, you're qualified, you are worth it,
you're going to find ways to get the job even if you don't listen to me,
even if you don't listen to anyone else. If you believe this you can do it, you can do it.
That's my number one tip: "elieve in yourself".
