Unhappy

16 years ago, when I was just a bagagge handler, but keen to break into the airline ops, I secured and Interview with Dan-Air.

The question was..
"What does the abbreivation "GS" stand for?"

My Answer
"Ground Support"

Every idiot knows it is "glide slope", but I had a mental block and screwed up the answer, but 2 week's later I had a letter oferring me the job I was being interviewed for.

The moral of the story.

Know your stuff, but don't panic if you get some questions wrong...They are looking for more than just current knowledge as they can soon fix that...They will probably be looking for;
a. Good attitude
b. Teamworking skill's
c. Enthusiasm for the industry (but not the anorak at the end of the runway type of enthusiasm)
d. Profesionalism and Presentation
f) Cool under pressure
g) Experience in a similar environment
and not neccessariliy in that order.

Go for it, and stop worrying about specific's but swot up on your JAR's just in case.

Good luck, buddy!!

Whooaahh!!!
