Every successful person in this world faced difficulties. Nobody gets to the top without going through hell. Even the greatest people in the world have faced rejection and failure. The number of failures do not define us; what defines us is how we recover from each failure. Rejection of your application teaches you a valuable lesson. The ability to bounce back and never give up will determine whether or not you become a flight attendant.
Remember that the number of rejections you have received will not determine whether or not you will be hired as a cabin crew member. What will determine the outcome is how you respond to every rejection and turn-down. I have featured many stories of current cabin crew who went through multiple rejections before arriving where they are now, and it took a lot of hard work, dedication, and commitment on their part.
There are a lot of flight attendants who previously failed but rose back until they finally won
Their stories will demonstrate that no matter how many rejections and turn downs one receives, there is always a chance to succeed, and what matters here is how we bounce back.
Let me tell you that it’s not just about getting back up, but also about how we deal with setbacks. Do we respond positively, viewing rejection as an opportunity to improve, or do we simply blame others for our failures to achieve our goals?
The quality of every re-attempt matters too
It’s not just about trying and trying again. When you are rejected as a flight attendant candidate, learn to stop and reflect on where you went wrong. If you were not told why you did not make it, simply reflect and look for areas to improve. Was it because you rarely smiled? Was it because the recruiters didn’t like your responses? There could be numerous reasons for this; therefore, the best approach is to truly reflect on and improve what you believe needs to be fixed. Go read my articles and ask current cabin crew members to evaluate you. Again, how you respond to these challenges will determine how you recover.
Continue to try and don’t give up. You have that opportunity as long as there is room for improvement. It makes no difference how many rejections you’ve received. In an airline’s qualification list, there is no such thing as “Not less than 5 previous rejections.”
First love never dies. I fell in love with airplanes and aviation when I was a kid. My dream was to become a pilot, but destiny led me to another path: to be an aviation digital media content creator and a small business owner. My passion for aviation inspires me to bring you quality content through my website and social accounts. Aviation is indeed in my blood and blog!
