How to pass your flight attendant interview tips and advice

As the aviation business grows, I predict more airlines to recruit flight attendants this year. Airlines in the Philippines are expanding their routes and bringing their capacity back to what it was before. As more airlines open their doors to people interested in working as cabin crew, allow me to provide some ideas and advice on how to pass your flight attendant interview.

Being a flight attendant is a very competitive process, with the interview being a key component. Airlines may sometimes organize open days or walk-in interviews when they will interview a large number of people in one large event. Anyone interested in becoming a flight attendant may just walk in with all of the required criteria and be interviewed right away. There is no need to send your CV or resume.

Because there are so many people who want to be flight attendants, here are some suggestions and guidance on how to pass your flight attendant interview or open day.

Research the airline.

Before your interview, do some research about the airline to which you’re applying. Discover the company’s history, mission statement, and core principles. This will demonstrate to the interviewer that you actually want to work for the airline.

Arrive on time.

Arriving late for an interview never makes a good first impression. Arrive on time, if possible a few minutes early.

Dress professionally.

First impressions are crucial, and how you dress may make or break it. Dress in business clothing suited for the airline to which you are applying.

Prepare to answer the following frequent interview questions.

You may be questioned about your customer service experience, ability to manage challenging circumstances, and teamwork.

Show your enthusiasm.

Flight attendants are in charge of providing a pleasant experience for customers. Demonstrate to the interviewer that you are enthusiastic about working in the customer service business and about the potential to work as a flight attendant.

Highlight your abilities.

Make a point of emphasizing any applicable abilities, such as languages spoken, past customer service experience, and relevant certifications.

Be yourself.

Ultimately, the interviewer wants to see the real you. Throughout the interview, be honest and true to yourself.

Don’t forget to prepare ahead of time as well. Check that you have done everything that was asked of you and that you meet the qualifications. Furthermore, there is no harm in trying. When you attempt, you earn experience and lessons, therefore, there is no time wasted. When people tell you, “sayang lang ang oras mo kung susubok ka pero alam mo hindi ka papasa,” I believe it’s a load of BS. Trying is not a waste of time since the lessons and experiences you obtain are precious.
