Advice from Audrey
Number 1 rule
Be Punctual (dah!)
Number 2 rule
Relax!
General Appearance and hygiene
Don't worry, no one expects you to look like a supermodel. However, You need to look well groomed.
Take out any body-piercing except ear rings (one per side)
No visible tattoos (this is a BIG no-no)
Makeup should be kept simple; DO NOT over do makeup.
Hair should be neat. Long hair tied back or bunned up. Hair away from the eyes. (LÁSD. A FOTÓMON - ezért cseréltem le a régit erre, ez szerepelt a cv-men. A beadandó fényképen tartsd magad egyenesen, nézz a kamerába, viselhetsz blézert és blúzt, vállak láthatók.)
In fact as a general rule the face should be kept clear of hair.
No drastic hair colouring.
Get a good manicure or have your fingernails neatly trimmed (no bitten nails)
I recommend nude colours for fingernails or just transparent enamel.
No body odour and bad breath.
Clothing and Accessories
Conservative and smart is best.
A skirt and blouse, or pants suit for women. (Megjegyzés: CSAK ÉS KIZÁRÓLAG SZOKNYÁS-térdig érő- KOSZTÜM AZ EK OPEN DAY-RE. A FOTÓN IS!)
The skirt shouldn't be too short when you sit down
If wearing a skirt always wear stockings
Stockings as close to your skin colour as possible.
For Men : Suit or Trousers , tie and Jacket
Nothing too revealing
look smart yet comfortable
Wear proper shoes and no slip ons
Always bring a nice folder to contain your documents.
The Interview
Females should sit with legs crossed
Don't shake a leg! - Don't fidget
Greet the interviewers by name - They will probably have name tags on, or ask.
"Good Morning Mr Tan, Miss Lee it's a pleasure to meet you My name is Mandy Smith."
Wait to be seated
The Questions
When the interview starts, relax ,DO NOT get flustered.
Always allow the interviewers to finish asking the questions.
Play the answer in your head before you say it out loud.
Politely ask the interviewers to repeat the question if you misheard or do not understand.
Speak clearly and slowly. DO NOT rush. DO NOT use "er", "um" ,"lah" : etc to pad your sentences.
Do answer the questions in full sentences and support them with examples.
This often allows the interviewers to respond, thus creating a conversational atmosphere that isn't one-sided.
It is vital to have some answers prepared for the usual questions such as:
Why do you want to be a flight attendant?
Do you consider this as a career?
What is your current occupation?
What is your hobby?
Know the latest airline news
Be careful of scenario questions such as:
What if a passenger accused you of forgetting his drink - what would you do?
THE TRICK
1. Be positive
2. NEVER be defensive
3. NEVER say the passenger is wrong
Be prepared to read a passage of text (to see how your diction and confidence are)
BE CAREFULL WITH JOKES - THEY CAN REAL KILL YOUR CHANCES IF YOU GET THEM WRONG
If they ask you about your strengths or talents, tell them Be careful not to sound boastful!
If they ask you to name a fault or weakness, say something mild.
For example say "My weakness is Chocolate" as there isn't much to fault you there.
In fact, some interviewers may join you on that!
DO NOT say negative things like:
"I'm IMPATIENT" or "I have a SHORT TEMPER" or "not a morning person" - (or I don't like to travel :-D)
Above all, try to be composed and pleasant.
After the Interview
Thank each one of the interviewers
Tell them you're grateful for the opportunity for them to get to know you.
Say you hope to hear from them.
Last but not the least and certainly the most important of allr30; DO NOT forget your smiles throughout!
