Hello friends, welcome.
2
I'm Carissa.
3
I am a flight attendant and I vlog about travel and the flight attendant life.
4
One of the questions I get asked over
5
and over in my DMs is asking for tips for passing the flight attendant interview.
6
While I have made one in the past, I have linked it down below, you keep asking for more.
7
So today this video is for those who are looking to become flight attendants
8
or honestly anyone who is just wanting some hot interview tips.
9
So if that's you, welcome.
10
There has never been a better time to be a flight attendant.
11
Airlines are hiring like nuts right now.
12
While in the past becoming a flight attendant was a very, very competitive thing.
13
I mean like a few dozen people were selected out of thousands of applicants.
14
It was such tough competition.
15
Now because of the boom of travel post all that 2020 stuff, the industry needs so many flight attendants.
16
So this is the perfect time to get in the industry.
17
Before I jump in, please press that like button.
18
It helps you do a good deed for the day and it helps me. So win-win.
19
So let's get to it.
20
I am going to share a few things that will give you that little edge for interview day.
21
Number one, research the airline.
22
And I don't mean just reading the career page and fantasizing about what destinations they fly to, truly research it.
23
Find out their mission statement, read their about page, their core values, how the company started, the history, their target customers.
24
What words do they use to describe the airline?
25
What is the main message on their about page?
26
What's their commitment or promises to their customer?
27
Are there any messages in the media that they keep repeating?
28
Because these are their company values.
29
These are the things that you need to communicate back to them in the interview.
30
I need some tea.
31
I'm a little bit sick right now.
32
Side note, while you're busy researching the airline, look at all the variations of the uniforms that everyone is wearing
33
and try to wear something that looks very similar for the interview
34
because subconsciously it makes the recruiters think that you already belong in the company.
35
All right, so now that you have a good idea of what the company thinks is important, you need to practice interview questions.
36
And that's number two.
37
You will want to find ways to sneak the company's values into your answers.
38
So when I received notice from my first interview, I scoured the internet for weeks.
39
I went into a rabbit hole of forums,
40
blogs, Reddit, watched videos and read comment sections trying to find out how interviews were conducted
41
and what questions I could expect to be asked.
42
I copied and I pasted every question
43
that I could find into a Word document then I printed it out
44
and practiced answering about 50 different questions that seemed to be the most common.
45
I don't have that sheet of questions anymore because this was years ago
46
but I actually recreated it and this is all just common information
47
that you can find on the internet on a hundred different websites
48
and forums but because of all this prep
49
that I did I thought I felt very prepared
50
because I had researched what to expect and had answers for so many questions.
51
I was confident.
52
I felt good.
53
And what happened?
54
I did not pass the interview that I was so prepared for.
55
So why I am sharing this cautionary tale is
56
that I did not pass that particular interview because I wasn't thinking like an interviewer.
57
I wanted the job so bad.
58
I'm sure I had some desperate energy, which is never ideal.
59
But I was thinking like someone who just really, really, really, really wanted to be a flight attendant.
60
Thinking I knew what questions might be asked,
61
this prep, it doesn't help unless you're thinking from a different perspective.
62
Let me give you an example of a real question I have been asked in an interview.
63
Who is my hero and why?
64
This might seem like a simple icebreaker question that doesn't have anything to do with the job, but it actually reveals to them a value that is important to you.
65
You could say you admire Audrey Hepburn because she's elegant and has a great sense of fashion,
66
but that's such a waste of a question because it doesn't really say much about you, just that you value style.
67
This is not a friend interview.
68
Nobody cares.
69
Instead, you reply to who is my hero and why with something like, I really appreciate my uncle Bob.
70
He's been running this restaurant for 20 years and I admire the way he works with his team.
71
The passion that he carries into everything.
72
He just has this really incredible work ethic and I really look up to him.
73
You can make that sound infinitely better than I just did, but do you see the difference?
74
I have just told the interviewer that my core values are long-term commitment to a career,
75
teamwork, passion, and working hard.
76
All of that in one icebreaker question.
77
So in every question, you have an opportunity to tell the recruiters why they need you.
78
And that, that will change the whole energy of the interview.
79
Don't just answer the questions at face value, take a beat, think about it and answer in a way that they know that you are the perfect candidate.
80
So that's why this list of questions to practice on can be extremely helpful as an exercise.
81
Obviously you don't know what exactly they're going to ask you, but if you analyze some of the most common questions, you can tailor better answers.
82
Why are they asking this question are they trying to figure
83
out how safety conscious you are how good at prioritizing you
84
are are you calm in emergency situations are you patient
85
when dealing with angry customers can you work well on a team yada yada yada just remember the main things
86
that an airline cares about is safety great customer service
87
and being on time
88
and knowing what is important to them the airline needs to
89
be what is important to you i made this into a pdf so
90
if you want it the links in the description box you
91
could spend thousands of dollars going to tourism college to increase your chances of getting hired
92
or you could just download this and practice practice practice
93
there is no inside information it's just questions for thinking through
94
things yourself i also talk about this concept of answering questions
95
well in a lot more detail in my first interview video
96
so after this one you may want to go watch that
97
but I just made it it's nothing special
98
but it's in the description box hold on my cat just ran off with my headphones
99
the lighting for this video is not as good as normal
100
because he already chewed through the cord for my lighting machine
101
so okay go go but don't chew anything else now number three role play the interview
102
if you have a family member or friend
103
that can act the role of the interviewer this can make you more comfortable with thinking on the spot
104
if you don't have any volunteers use a mirror there's just something about looking at a human even
105
if it's your own face that is really helpful.
106
Number four, check your social media.
107
If you have a lot of party pictures or your account is primarily thirst traps, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that,
108
but maybe consider going private or archiving some content or just move your account over to a fake name.
109
I don't know.
110
It's just very common for hiring companies to check.
111
Recently, I was asked to participate in a speaking event
112
and I was told that the final decision to hire me was because my Instagram was professional.
113
Social media is really often the deciding factor for a lot of jobs.
114
So check your socials.
115
Number five, dress for the job you want to have.
116
On interview day, you want to suggest the look flight attendant as much as you can without looking crazy.
117
We don't need to be as fantastic as Britney Spears in her music video, but you know, wear a dress shirt,
118
pencil skirt, dress pants, maybe a blazer, maybe not.
119
Put your hair up or in a sleek ponytail.
120
The messy, artsy vibe that I love is not welcome in this space.
121
You want to look very professional.
122
Make sure your nails are groomed.
123
Don't forget to make sure your shoes are shiny and fabulous.
124
No wrinkles in the clothes.
125
Show up like you're going to the most generic professional library convention.
126
Yeah.
127
Number six, show up early.
128
One of the most important things to an airline is being on time.
129
If you cannot show up on time for the interview or you arrive rushed and frazzled, I hate to say it, but that's probably it.
130
So show up early.
131
It's better to sit in your car and wait than be late. That rhymed.
132
Well, friends, that's all I have for you today.
133
These are just my own opinions and experiences, but I hope it was helpful.
134
and remember just be you be confident in how amazing you are
135
and i'm wishing you all the luck in the world what's
136
meant for you will always come for you don't forget to like
137
and subscribe have a magical day and i will see you next time bye

什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
