I'll be OC. I will be looking at the mirror like 100 times per minute.
I'm checking my appearance and what I think was the biggest biggest mistake I ever did
and you want to avoid all the mistakes that I made.
Hey, guys! It's Miss Kay Krizz! Welcome back to my channel!
Today, I'm going to share with you the biggest mistake I ever made
when I was applying for the flight attendant job.
Keep on watching.
I made a blog post about this on the Fly High Manila's website.
I will link it down below. If you wanna read the blog version.
But right now we're doing a video version of it because I saw a lot of people like that blog post
and I want to share the same information for all of you who don't really
have the time to read blogs and like to consume their content more on video.
I have been applying for the flight attendant job when I was 19 years old.
I got hired when I was 23 and I finally got hired for international flight attendant position at 27.
So it's a total of eight years if you count all those years that I was applying.
And most of the time, it's not everyday I'm applying.
It's like anytime that there is a hiring, I will be going there and that is every three months
or sometimes there's a year that I would apply like twice a year or three times a
year and it has been so hard for me before because there were no bloggers
before there were no blog even bloggers that was willing to share their tips are
willing to share where they failed when they were applying or the mistakes that
they made when they are flying I'm some friends are nice enough to tell me but
you know what when they are already a flight attendant it's really hard to get
a whole of them on their schedule is different
and also they have signed a contract that they can really release any
information about their job so yeah they're really mom about it so that's
what I'm doing right now I'm gonna tell you my eight years worth of trial and
error and what I think looking back now after being a flight attendant and being
able to go through all that application what I think was the biggest biggest
mistake I ever did and I was applying so here it is my biggest mistake when I was
applying for the flight attendant position yes I was never really fully
prepared for what's gonna happen on the application day so you gotta wrap your
mind around this because when I was a beginner and I mean like I was just
trying to be a flight attendant I haven't really obsessed about it yet
or I'm not passionate about it I just want to try my luck I would usually
spend most of my time when I'm preparing my preparation time is spent on trying
to find the right lipstick trying to find the right outfit trying to know how
to do my makeup trying to find the right shoes and all of my time is consumed by
that I need to lose weight or I need to gain weight I need to take away my
pimple I need to make my teeth wider you know all of those times you know from
the moment that I knew that there was gonna be a hiring probably just a week
from now the whole week I'll be going to s and ayala trying to find an outfit
then I'm going to stress about my pimple and then I'm going to do a facial mask
just try to look to take care of my skin and then I will go to the salon to do my
nails and my nails then which is highly recommended you should get your nails
done when you are going to apply for the flight attendant position but it
shouldn't revolve only around your nails your face your makeup your your outfit
your shoes because most of the time everybody else is already pretty
everybody else is already you know looking sharpest on the interview day
and if you just prepare on that aspect then you will be like on the same
playing level field as everybody else you won't have anything else to offer
aside from your looks and your grooming and your clear skin and perfect body
right so what else can you offer if everybody is like you everybody is
well-groomed looking their sharpest on the day itself usually what will happen
with me before is while I was waiting in line to be interviewed next that's the
time that I would practice what will I say when they asked me tell me about
yourself you know I will practice while I was in
line or I will research on the computer at a time on the day before I go out to
the venue I will research I will Google what do I know about Southie what are
what is Saudi all about and then I will write it down on my notes and on my
commute that's where I would review the things I learned about the the airline
company I am applying for and so I have it really crafted my answers I really
don't have any ready answers I am a nervous wreck I'm stressed out and when
I look at the other candidates they look so pretty and so nice so I would be like
so stress level through the roof so yeah um that's my biggest mistake focusing on
the physical aspect focusing on my looks my insecurities my weaknesses I'm Nick I
didn't really I didn't really realized that that was just one step you
know though all those things are just for you to enter the door okay it's just
only those are just preliminary requirements and then there are other
requirements that you need to prepare for for example you need to study
English and math because there's gonna be English and math tests once you pass
the initial interview usually for file express even now they would put you into
the testing stage right away you have to answer English questions math questions
and there's a time limit for every question that you have so it's time
pressure and then I didn't know that you will be you will be selected by
observing your behavior so if they're observing my behavior during the flight
attendant interview all they will see is I will be looking at the mirror like 100
times per minute because I'm checking my appearance and I will be fidgeting
trying to memorize cramming and everything so I'm not voiced at all I'm
not a good representation of somebody who has the bearings of a flight
attendant because I'm a nervous wreck at the lining area okay at the venue itself
so if somebody were to assess me during that time I wouldn't pass because I'm
just cramming my way out of it trying to wing it I didn't really prepare well I'm
prepared with my makeup in my outfit in my shoes okay it's funny now but yeah so
here are some tips that I'd like to share with you if you are applying to be
a flight attendant and you want to avoid all the mistakes that I made
tip number one don't waste all of your time focusing on your appearance your
grooming and your business attire outfit and and
because everyone is doing the same thing you have to have one more thing so it's
okay to get that all settled early on get your outfit settled early on and
your shoes settled early on your makeup settles early on and have it prepared
that you still have time to do other things or what are the other things that
you need to do you need to research the airline itself the company that you're
applying for their history their tagline their CEO what are their culture what
are their values key word values and what are their plans in the future are
they're expanding are they're opening nuclides are they're doing new hubs
things like that also you have to repair or research above the flight attendant
job roles and responsibilities because you will base all the answers that you
will seek to the recruiter on this information because the interview is all
about trying to see if you can be a flight attendant
it's a flight attendant interview and you're a flight attendant candidate so
how will you tell the recruiter that I can be a flight attendant
you tell them that you have all the qualities you demonstrate you give
example and then you're knowledgeable about the job itself okay not just the
perks but the job so what do I mean you have to be knowledgeable about I know
buttering me not gonna fly dependent on a daily basis what are their priorities
what are their doing what types of qualities make a successful like the bad
lad so that's what you need to research on okay so aside from those things that
I have mentioned you have to prepare prepare ready answers I know you want to
be authentic you wanna be the real you during the interviews right but you can
still be real you when you have practiced your answers what I'm just
saying is that this side on what you want to say
different types of questions for example tell me about yourself what is your
weakness and why should we hire you you should decide what are the basic ideas
that you want to share during these questions and then on the day itself
your body is a nervous wreck you are like shaking because your is so
nervous and if you practice the words that you want to say you put it up
nicely you put a nice sentence how you want to
say it you put your practice where are you gonna pause where you're gonna smile
before saying it then your body has motor skills right your muscles your
tummy some muscle and it will have muscle memory so even though you're
nervous during that day since you already practice how to say what you
want to say you will be able to remember everything even though sometimes you go
out already it's like the words are just coming out of your mouth because the
reason for that is you already practiced your words your ideas that you want to
say if we could if you could decide down to the tiniest sentence to every
sentence if you could decide that this is my answer to this kind of question
then it will be perfect okay that's the first part of preparing your answer the
next part of preparing your answer is preparing the delivery so some people
when you say prepare your answers or memorize your answer what they imagine
is somebody who is saying the answers from memory like a robot I am 12 years
old I am from Mojave City and I want to be a doctor one day you know that's what
you remember well that's what you picture out if you say prepared answers
beforehand right but those are for kids now that we're adults we can memorize
the answer but but this is what makes it spontaneous this is what makes you a
winner candidate the next thing that you should do is you should also practice
and prepare how you are going to deliver those answers you know so this is the
trick of the the pageant candidates or beauty pageant
schools this is what they train during beauty pageant schools you already
memorize the answer it's a really nice well-written well-written you know
beauty contest answer already but when you deliver it don't deliver it like
it's a memorizing you're just delivering it in school you have to deliver it with
feelings with process with smile with effect you know so that's how you win
the Q&A portion of a beauty contest that's how you win also on the flight
attendants interview for any interview itself so you already memorize the words
now you practice how you deliver it so the practice all you have to do is just
look at the mirror and see for yourself like how do I look like when I'm saying
this am I too intense am I too like you know too intense when
saying the words that I have memorized or you know you have to practice the
emotions that you're saying you could say like for example if you want to say
tell me you answer the question tell me about yourself I have to practice when
are you going to boss when are you going to be smiling when are you going to be
like serious you know which part of the sentence are you gonna do that so an
example is you know my answer on my previous video when I say it without you
know with a performance level performance level chuva this is how it
looks like I have a passion for customer service in my two years working from all
center I have now hold the skill of turning customers my frown into a smile
so you see the difference if I say it with the practice okay when I practice
the delivery so this is again how I deliver it with performance level at I
have a passion for customer service in my two years experience of working in a
call center I have now mastered the skills of
turning my customers frown into a smile see you know on the projected in purple
jacket even though it's not the camera it's not an acting class you are just
talking to a recruiter but you still have to project you know to give impact
to your words okay so enough about that and the next thing is things that are
things that are in a tactical okay but things that really affect you when you
are applying you also have to prepare emotionally your emotions you have to
check your emotions are you ready to get out of the country because if not it's
gonna sabotage you during the interview day okay so you have to really picture
yourself out you are already in Southie or you're already in Qatar and you're
having fun there is no fear you know you have to deal with the fears that might
come out before even going to the interview because maybe bulam island I
was simple at one I'm so scared I don't know people who are Muslim no I don't
know their culture no mananas happened you know all those fears we all have
those fears and it's normal because we're you mind so you have to deal with
them the good thing is you can research now there's a lot of blogs there's a lot
of you know information on the internet on how it is like to live in another
country or how is it like to work for this company you know so you can prepare
yourself emotionally for the transition is it's a life changing career all right
I had the last but not least tip that I have for you is you have to raise your
vibration energy something added value by Cinda or Napa telega Matar some
energy I see you know if you feel shy you don't at all
I think the company's a Celica even if we're not talking it the people who you
meet or the people who sees you or gets in your interaction you will remember
you feel like are you like a happy person if you have a happy energy or are
you a nervous wreck it's not the energy that you're giving off not sure of
yourself scared you know you try to raise your energy so how do you do it I
have a lot of tips in my previous videos so some of them and also in my book I
said that to raise your energy you have to listen to good music high vibrational
music can be praise songs it could be inspirational songs about flying you
have to imagine yourself as a flight attendant already think happy thoughts
think what would it be like how nice would it be if you are walking in the
airport with your trolley in your uniform how would you feel when you're
doing that so those thoughts happy thoughts will raise your vibration and
also listening the really good music about flying will actually it for me it
immediately raise my vibration and puts me in a good mood so if you're in a good
mood and the recruiter is having a crappy good they won't be attracted to
you they don't know why they know how maybe you stumble in your words but they
like your attitude they like you're already like your energy so you have to
work on these things before the interview itself it doesn't happen
overnight you really have to work on yourself to do all of it so yeah being
applying for the flight attendant position it's not all about just the
clothes to make up and everything yes it is that plus many many other factors and
things I do hope that this video helped you out and if it did do give it a
