Playing the victim won't get you too far at interview!
In case you're thinking of taking the moral high ground and claiming that you weren't being a victim then et me give you a some free advice. If you're not being a victim with this statement then you are certainly being overly precious. Either way your comments show why you have some critical self evaluation to do before you come up for a Qantas psych test and interview.
When communicating with others, if the other party didn't get the message exactly as I wanted then that is generally
MY problem! When that occurs it's my place to apologise for not being clear enough with my style and tone and to make the necessary correction. Failing to admit that I made the stuff up in the first instance and instead trying to tell others that they're the ones in the wrong is not a trait that works well in life in general but especially on a flight deck. So think very seriously about how you are approaching your potential future colleagues Surditas. Being able to admit you're wrong- (or at least potentially wrong) without having to let you dig a very deep hole so that it's obvious beyond all doubt- is a trait I want in a fellow crew member.
