Selecting the career of an air hostess is not a cake walk. It may look like one, but if you have seen the movie ‘Neerja’ then you know, it needs a lot more. So, if you think you can take the tight flying schedules and literally live out of a suitcase most of the time, then these tips will definitely help you bag that job.
1. Look up sample interview questions based on the airline.
- “Why did you decide to become a flight attendant?”
- “Why should we hire you? Tell us more about your qualifications for this job.”
- “How would you handle a disagreement between passengers on a flight?”
- “Tell us about a stressful situation where you had to use your communication skills and your problem solving skills. How did you handle this situation and resolve it?”
2. Wear smart, business appropriate clothing that is not too loud or showy.
While you want your personality and warmth to stand out during the interview, you do not want your outfit to be too loud, bold, or showy.
3. Be well groomed and well put together
Present a clean, fresh professional appearance by being well groomed and smartly put together. For men, that means clean shaven, with well groomed hair and no heavy jewellery. For women, that means a sleek or a low ponytail and nails that are neat and well groomed.
4. Show up to the interview location ten to fifteen minutes early
Do not be the applicant who rushes into the interview five minutes late. Make an effort to be ten to fifteen minutes early for the interview so you can get settled in the interview location and present a professional look.
5.Project confidence, warmth, and a positive attitude
Be assertive but not aggressive when you answer questions and try to give off warmth and positive vibes. Avoid using negative terms like “not”, “no”, and “never”.
6. End the interview with a friendly “goodbye”
Always end the conversation with a friendly thank you or goodbye.
