So guys welcome to Lesson 2 and our final part of this email series
that I am sharing with you guys who are not able to attend our skype group coaching program
Lesson 2 is all about what ensures a successful Flight Attendant Interview?
What does it really take to get your wings?
1. MINDSET
"Wheter you think you can or wheter you think you can't, You're right" - Henry Ford
The owner of Ford Motors. I really agree with this qoute because,
If you think that you have what it takes? You are right!
Also, if you think that You don't have what it takes you are also right!
I can't convince you otherwise. So you better have your mind working for you instead of against you
because our mind is a very powerful tool and we should use it to our advantage.
You need to have a Winners Mindset.
What does winners do?
Winners simply don't lose. When they lose they think of it as another way of doing something wrong
so now I am one step closer to being right
That's how winners think
Every failure that you might face when trying to be a flight attendant, trying to apply for the job
if you didn't get job for the first time then you've gotta learn the lesson or else..
It's all for nothing. Just think of it as something you've learned.
"Okay, so what did I learn on this failure?" "What are the lessons?"
"So, I figured out that going to the interview without having breakfast it's not a good idea."
then track it up from experience and apply and adjust your strategy for the next time
This is how winners think.
Half of the battle is won our minds. It always is a mind game in life.
That's why the qoute "mind over matter" very popular because it's always on your mind
Even though the things physically are not yet there, but in your mind and heart you trully believe
that you are a flight attendant, it will happen. Believe me!
You have to sell yourself. Having the right mindset. How do you do that?
If you are going to sell yourself, you have to be sold first!
you cannot sell something that you do not believe in
if you know that this product is bad, then why would you recommend it to your friends
You can only sell something you truly believe in. If you really are 100 percent sure that it is good.
Here in applying for the position of a flight attendant
What you are selling is yourself. So, you have to be sold on yourself!
Every day, convince yourself that you are good enough for this job.
You have what it takes. This is your moment. Claim it. That is how you sell yourself.
Self confidence, self-confidence really takes a big part role in selling yourself
What does it really mean?
Self confidence simply means being sure.
Being sure of who you are. What you are capable of and what your worth is.
The next thing that you need to know or you need to have is knowledge
This is a quote by me. It's a personal quote. It goes like this..
"Know your type of monster to be best able to slay it." - Misskaykrizz
To be able to slay your monster, you should know what kind of monster it is.
This is just an analogy. If your monster is a water type monster, then take it out of the water.
then you will be able to address its weaknesses
and know the certain points or the certain areas wherein to attack
This is also how I look into the flight attendant position. I need to know what it is I'm trying to get into.
What it is that they want so I could position my selling presentation in the way that I know they would want it
then I will go for the killing because I'm knowledgeable about it
You have to know what the position is all about and what is required to fulfill that role.
so that then, you'll be able to demonstrate it, show it
and prove to the recruiters that you have this certain qualities they're looking for.
You also need to have the specific airline information
It's not just about the role of a flight attendant and what they do,
You also have to take some interest of what kind of airline they are.
Know their history, who is their CEO?
This question is one of the trickiest question I ever experienced for the longest time I've been applying
for the position of flight attendant. In Qatar Airways this question is always
asked and the applicant is always caught off handed
believe me guys, if you don't know the CEO you're not invited to the next day immediately
because they have the privilege to pick those people who have knowledge about their company
those people who are just there because they just want to
they just don't have anything else better to do during their day
This is very important guys.
The tagline. What are the famous taglines?
Qatar Airways it's "World's Five Star Airline" Philippine Airlines is " Your Home in the Sky"
it's important to know the tagline. It's just a way to to tell the recruiters
that you are genuinely interested in their brand, in their in their airline and you want to be a part of it
Their number of fleets. This means their number of airlines that they have in their company.
This is a nice to know information.
coz sometimes you never know if they're going to ask this or not
Destinations. This is very common. Those agencies who conducts screenings before the Airline HR comes,
This is their favorite question.
You're applying for Saudia, What do you know about Saudi?
What do you know about Saudia and what do you know about the destination? Where do they fly to?
These are the default questions that agency ask of you
It is important that you know this information
The name of the frequent flyer program.
For example, in Philippine Airlines it's called "Mabuhay Miles"
In Oman Air it's called "Sindbad Program"
This is very important because it's like
you put yourself one step higher than the other applicants if you know all of these things.
Knowledge is power. One of those bullets that you could use whenever you need it, to be able to sell yourself.
Image of the airline and what their brand represent.
If you are applying for Ilocos Airlines, probably their image is all about adventure
having fun, being free, and being able to fly wherever you are, wherever you are from, casual
When you're applying for this, you make sure that you portray all these kinds of images
All these kinds of qualities to be in line to what the airline is trying to project to the customers
If you are also applying for a traditional airline like
for example Philippine Airlines, they are very traditional. They are the flag carrier.
You would need to be able to make sure that all of your hair, if it is tied up, nothing sticks out
because that's how it is. They're very formal, classy and that's the type of image that they want to portray.
Very professional, reliable. Things like that is very important
because kind of confusing if you try to go and apply for example for
AirAsia and then you are so uptight, then you wouldn't fit to what they are trying to portray.
What if you apply for Philippine Airlines and you are so casual, also it's not a good fit
You are just doing yourself a disfavor if you are not going to research what their Airlines is all about.
The next thing that you need to have is Interview skills.
English language, especially if you are working for an international airline or even if
you're working for a local airline. Their passengers are international so you
have to be able to express yourself in proper English
I'm not saying that you should have the best accent and diction. Be the next "Miriam Santiago" out there.
It's just that you have to be able to understand and express yourself clearly
so that you will not have miscommunications among the people
or the people that you work and that is a big no-no for the airlines.
They try to gauge the skill you have by talking to you and making sure
they give you tests exams, English exam and they talk to you.
They are making sure that you are someone who could try to carry a conversation and also express yourself.
Nonverbal communication skills. Do know that 80% of the result of your
interview it's not really about what you say it's how you say it. And the body language that you deliver it with
The body language that you are exhibiting during the whole recruitment time that you are there.
This is very important. It's 80 percent of the percentage to know whether or not you are in or out.
What this entails are: eye contact,
smiles, posture, listening gestures like a nod at the right time.
A frown or a reaction when somebody's trying to tell you something. Have the appropriate reaction.
Listening skills. This means that you are able to really communicate.
Get what the person is talking about and respond appropriately.
That's it guys. This is the lesson summary for lesson 2.
What ensures a flight attendant interview success:
Mindset - you have to have the right attitude and perspective
Knowledge - What the position is all about. What is the airline all about.
Interview skills - Communication skills and also sell yourself.
