HOW TO PREPARE FOR AN INTERVIEW AND WHAT TO EXPECT.

 DRESS THE PART: If you want to become a flight attendant, try looking like one. Start by wearing a blue or black suit to the interview. Skirt length should be no more than an inch above the knee and pantyhose are a must. Keep fingernails clean and polished and long hair pulled back or styled conservatively. Jewelry should be kept to a minimum - no dangly earrings! Do not overdo the makeup. Think fresh and neat.

BE YOURSELF: First impressions count. It's a nerve wracking experience, but try to relax and don't forget to smile. Introduce yourself to other candidates in the room. Airlines prefer applicants who are friendly. So be yourself, enjoy the moment, and laugh! Have fun.

CONFIDENCE IS KEY: You may find yourself participating in a group interview with about four or more other candidates a lot like yourself. It's important to make a good impression. Keep it positive whenever answering a question, especially when discussing yourself or any past employers and co-workers. Also, don't be the last person to answer each question. Be confident. Raise your hand.

TALK THE TALK: Use the phrase "good customer service" and the word "flexible" as often as possible. Flight attendants spend more time with passengers than anyone else in the industry, so airlines are looking for applicants with experience in customer service.

Try sharing stories about the times you provided good customer service. Because the majority of flight attendants do not get based where they live right out of training, and because a flight attendant's schedule is constantly changing and many of us are on-call for days, even months, at a time, it's very important to remain "flexible." Show examples of that as well.

SLOW DOWN: Sometimes one may have to read a safety demo announcement (for example) out loud. While I know you can read, otherwise you wouldn't be here reading this, doing it out loud in front of a stranger who does not crack a smile while analyzing your every move and scribbling notes on a clipboard, is totally different. Remember to slow down and add a little life to what could be a long, drawn out, monotone speech. Before the interview takes place, try practicing reading magazines, books, whatever, out loud at home.

BESIDES TRAVELING AND MEETING NEW PEOPLE.... why do you want to become a flight attendant? Trust me, that is a question you will have to answer. Maybe you could say something like; "I'm looking for a career with a reputable company that I would be proud to work for. I enjoy providing excellent customer service and I find the flexible lifestyle very appealing, since I am not really a 9 to 5 kind of person." Two other questions that may come up are; "How did you prepare for the interview?" and " What question did you think we would ask, but didn't ?" possible answer; "When can you start training?" --- you say, "As soon as possible"

BUH-BYE, TOTSIENS, SEE YA LATER: Flight attendants are expected to welcome and say goodbye to each and every passenger while boarding or deplaning a flight. Wouldn't hurt to do the same to the person(s) conducting the interview process. Thank the interviewer for their time and tell him or her you look forward to seeing them again.

Let's say you score an airline interview, but for whatever reason you aren't hired. Don't give up. 
Keep on re-
applying. Or try another 
airline. Your dream job is waiting for you!!! Persevere and think positive. Good Luck to you all!!!
