Hey guys, it's misskaykrizz and welcome back to my channel so today on this video I am going to talk to you about
Being a flight attendant
So if you're thinking about you want to try it out, maybe it's the thing for you don't apply unless
You watch the whole video okay? Oh yeah, this is gonna be all the
Details that you might want to know before you move out of the country and become a flight attendant alright, so yeah, let's do this
flight attendant for six years
Three years in the Philippines and three years abroad as an international flight attendant
as an international flight attendant so the first thing that I want to talk about is
Do not apply as a flight attendant if you don't think you're gonna survive
moving out of the country
Because oh my god
The feeling of homesickness
Homesickness is real guys. It's real and some people get some people commit suicides and people
Do not finish their contract because of the loneliness that you would feel if you move to a different country so you have to be
Physically ready mentally ready and emotionally ready to move out of your comfort zone because it is really
Different you know feeling especially if you've never tried
Moving from one place to another it's like uprooting yourself from one place to another
So now if you've lived in a place like
If you were born there and until to this moment you still live there you have the same friends the same
Then go to the same dentist
You know everything it's gonna
be hard if it's your first time to to adjust you know to move so you just have to be ready for that possibility so
Knowing that that's gonna happen at me when the loneliness comes when you know the moments where you have to be
Flexible you have to make new for new friends new connections. You will be ready. You know nobody's gonna
Be there to wash your clothes where you wash your dishes. You know clean up after yourself
It's like moving to the States you have to be totally independent. You know there's no yeah, yeah, there's no one there support you emotionally
physically and household chores, sorry
That makes sense second thing do not apply as a flight attendant if you are not open to new cultures
because man culture shock
That's the word it's real it's hard to be culture shocked about different things
So if here's somebody who has you know for example, maybe you're a Christian living your life straight only this way
This is the only way we live
You know sometimes when you go out
Into the world you would realize that you have to accept that other people have other ways of doing things
And you know this is how they do it in their culture so you have to respect that and you have to open to that
Okay, don't judge them or else. Oh my god. you are just looking for a fight
you'll face some instances that you're in, there will be
Misunderstandings and things like that and also when you get culture shocked, man
It's hard so yeah
Whenever if ever you are going to apply
for
Example a flight attendant position in the Middle East try to research and study about their culture so that when you get there
You would already be in you know at least will be easier on your side, right?
Third thing that I want to talk about on this video is that do not apply as a flight attendant if you do not like
studying why
Because it may come as a shock to most of you
But flight attendant study a lot especially before a flight and most specially when you just first got your job
there is a training, and if you fail the training you're "keeek"
from your job
Okay, your dreams of flying around the world will be easily "keeek" because you cannot study
So what do I mean being a flight attendant?
you study about the airplane the emergency procedures every single scenario that might happen when you are on air and
There's nobody there people rely on you because you're the one in charge so they have to train you to be the one in charge
You have to be able to to memorize
every single procedure
because this
Procedures that you're doing you're gonna do it with your team mates with the other cabin crews and you are going to do this with
The pilots as well
So it's a team effort so everybody must be on the same page on what to do if a certain thing happened, okay?
So it's a lot of studying. It's nose bleed time
It's like oh my god, this is harder than my thesis feeling that;s what we felt when
We are on our planet and the training. I'm not trying to scare you guys, but I'm just saying that in this job
Studying is part of it. It's not just
Trying to be pretty and looking good and glamorous. It's all of that, okay
It's all of that plus the studying and that nobody warned me about let's talk about
That item number four let's say you have made it to the training
Congratulations
You are now Flying!
You are now flying and
This job is your dream job for the longest time, but what hits you in the face like that like a big?
like a big hollow block
Like a big break up store and hit your face. Is that well at least in my experience is that?
Jet lag is real
Sleeping patterns. Oh my god. What time is it already?
What day is it?
Even you don't know what time it is what day is it already because?
During your job when you're actually doing the exact job as a flight attendant
One day he will go to Paris the next day you go to Philippines the next day you go to us
So your body clock is kind of screwed up, and it's gonna be screwed up forever. You have to adjust to your schedule
It's not that your schedule will adjust you
Okay, so this is not a nine-to-five job
It is a job that has a very
Erratic schedule and that is why they're very strict when trying to hire a new flight attendant. You really have to pass the medical exam
Because the sleep battery takes a toll on your body
Okay, and if you are not healthy you're not a healthy individual
You might get really sick, so that's why they don't hire an emic people when you talk about being a flight attendant
so especially Airlines that has
these flights that are really long and really you know far away like Qatar and
Other airlines like that. They really look into the
medical condition of the crew that is applying to them item number five is
Don't apply as a flight attendant. If you don't want to work with people
Okay, so what do I mean by this?
Like have you heard of the word seniority?
The trick is just be positive there will always be the negative people and there's gonna be people that will trigger you and things like
That also there will always be seniority so you're gonna be able to deal with that in your own way. Just don't try to
What do you call this if some people are unfair to you? You just have to stand for your rights?
You know just be the right
The right mix okay?
don't be too much of a doormat and also don't be too much of an aggressive person just be chill and
but with self respect
You know what I mean
Okay, so if it's like
Sometimes they'll be like petty things that people will fight about it's not related to the job at all and it's not related
To you as a person at all so what I do is I just don't think it happened to me
I've been subjected to a lot of seniority issues. You know being bullied or being the issue of an issue
but you know it's just I
Just let it slide because it doesn't affect me personally, so it shouldn't affect you as well. I know
if you are not
easy you know if you're not easy to work with it's gonna be a problem because
Like I said, it's the everyday day in day out of this job. It's working with people every single one of them and
speaking of people my item number six is
customer service
Do not apply as a flight attendant if you don't think that customer service is the industry for you because
customer service basically means taking care of
Passengers taking care of their needs you have to keep them happy you got it if you have to keep them fed
We have to keep them. You know watered
And you have to have a lot of patience to be able to thrive in a customer service industry
I say to myself sometimes maybe I'm a people pleaser because
that's why I like working in this industry because I really like it when
When the customers are very happy with with my service with them. You know So it kind of like
Depends on each person if that suits you if you you feel that that's something that you would enjoy you know if it gives you
Validation and pleasure that you could work in a field like that then this job is really for you
But if not oh my god, this is just totally the wrong job for you because people will be demanding and they're just gonna
ruin your day if
If you're not prepared for that kind of job
Okay, I've flown with a lot of flight attendants, and I'm like oh my god. Why is she here?
She doesn't like her job. It's like and they're miserable. It's like every time somebody will ask her for water
She'll be like her whole world was we're gonna be
Worried or her her whole world is gonna fall down, and I'm like oh my god
And you're a flight attendant everybody's gonna Ask you for water
anyway
Basically you're gonna be in charge of their happiness if they have complaints that has nothing to do with you
It's not your fault and whatsoever they're still gonna complain to you. That's your job, and if you're something who doesn't want all that
Stress in your life well
Maybe this job is not for you
Seriously, okay?
guys it might seem like I'm
Making it sound like the flight attendant job is so bad. It is not really guys. I'm not saying that at all
I'm just saying that this job has a certain fit for certain
People for them to get it and also to stay long in it okay some people get to the job
And they realize it's not for me. I'm not happy here, so they move on again. That's okay
Okay
So if you try to figure out if you are if you are for this job what I can say is that there's a fly
What I can say is that if you don't mind you know working with people
Dealing with seniority issues every now, and then you know don't take anything personally
And you don't mind serving people be in the customer service industry
And you know the study if you don't mind you know dealing with the sleeping issues, then you're gonna be just fine
This job is awesome
another piece of advice guys
Don't feel so bad if you don't get in
you don't get to job the first try because
Life is good
You know life is too short to feel so bad about it's just a job and if it's meant to be it will be okay
I was I know it's kind of like contradicting on my part to say this
But what I mean is that I was applying for a certain airline
Before and I really wanna be in that airline because I like their destinations
But then I really don't get it no matter. How hard I try no matter. I already got it
I still have you know I still have issues where they suddenly
Cancelled all applications like that then I realized
It's not meant to be for me for that airline
So I applied in another airline and then first try I got in so yeah
Maybe it's just you know not the right company for you so try and try again
If it didn't happen the first time for you
Okay
If it's meant to be it will be
And lastly I would like to say that guys
There is no such thing there is no job that will give you happiness because happiness is
Self-made so if you think that the job of a flight attendant will make you happy think again
Because actually it is you that will make you happy no matter. What the
Circumstance you have to be happy first, and then everything else will come for you
that's it guys for this Video I can't stay for long because my baby needs to eat okay, he needs to breastfeed and I'm gonna be

There was this meme. That's so funny

And what they're doing in the comics is that the junior flight attendants are bowing the senior flight attendant?
