Thumbs up

6£ would it be an idea to look into giving a seminar for wannabe FA's at the next Bash?
Something along the lines of the the wannabe seminars you guys are organizing for aspiring future pilots??

Not sure if there are ebough Brit FA's on site here to make it feasible to get good speakers, but maybe give it a thought??

Dave, as been said already, required qualifactions vary widely from airline to airline and usually it very much comes down to the kind of personality traits are able to display at the interview. And of course THAT can be trained for. What many airlinew use nowadays is "criteria based interviewing". They are looking for practical experiences in the "victm's" past life to show them the prospective FA has the right personality for the job.
Of course all examples can be made up and faked (nor saying that she should fake qualifactions mind, that's another matter), what is important is that the the interviewee is able to show that he or she knows what is required and has the smarts to show the right tricks at the interview.

There are a number of books available of course on how to make good impressions at interviews, also if she has specific questions right here there's people willing to answer them for her as a rule.
Good luck, it's a great job!
