Hello Cabinboy, Dreams, Cloud Nine, Biscuit Chucker, Ditch, Doohan, Sweet'n' Innocent, Wirraway, Mr Seatback 2. And welcome to anyone new!!
This is our new thread!! We have obviously shown that we are a great team together and have a lot of information and encouragment to offer each other, and I didn't want it to end because we have reached our thread limit! (again)
This thread will be dedicated to sharing any rumours about who is recruiting, what happen at the interviews and anything else that may help us get our dream jobs. Also we are lucky to have the likes of Biccy C and Mr S 2 and Wirraway among us to get the inside goss!!!
I am going to get the ball rolling by asking what everyone does for a job. I have found that their are alot of common attributes in my job that are parallell with Cabin Crew jobs.
I work behind the bar and in the gaming lounge of a busy hotel. I spend most of my day cleaning up the mess of punters (ashtrays and glasses) as well as constantly answering the buzzer to get drinks and to answer any questions. I also spend half my day talking on the microphone ( I am surprised I have any voice left some days.)
What I enjoy the most about my job is the exercise (I'm not kidding it keeps me slim!), and once a month we have a big themed party where all the staff dress up in costume -- I have been a witch, devil, robot and beachbum in the last few months-- and entertain the punters with lots of games, food and drink.
What I find the hardest about my job is that because alot of people come into the hotel alone, we staff become the outlet for their problems. Just yesterday I commented to a lady that I hadn't seen her in a while-- she replies that she had recently had an operation, her son-in-law passed away that same day during an operation and her husband died 10 days later. I leave work some days totally emotionally drained.
Anyway I am eagar to find out what everyone else does for a job and how you think that will benefit your future ambitions.
