Hello girls,
In March 2009 I participated to RJ interview in Bucharest. At the screening day were a lot of girls that were so loud and dressed like they had a disco show. For me it was my first interview for an airline company, but I know very well how to dress myself for such an event. Second day, around 90 persons in the hotel lobby, I was the 4th person to enter the two to one interview. There was the CO of the company(I didn’t knew it at the time ) and a lady from the HR, Haya. Haya only took notes and Majali (it was a men) asked all the questions, about my work, about the location of Amman(He asked me if it was in Africa J), what would I do in a stressful situation, if they give me a 5 years contract what my parents will say(tricky question, always answer in a positive way) , what would I do for the company to be kept for 5 years.
I had a positive thinking, and didn’t know what to expect from that interview, and I even made jokes with Majali. They liked me, and at the end of the interview they gave me a piece of paper to complete and to bring in 2 days 20 passport size pictures. The second day I heard it was a mess because they took most of the girls they liked in the first day, and they didn’t liked the girls in the second day and they needed an excuse to tell them to leave without no offense, and they gave them an written English test, that I heard a lot did it well, but they eliminated most girls(the English test was just an excuse, Hilary, the person from Inter Excel Malaysia – the recruitment company, told me) . In the 4th day we were all invited in a meeting room, they presented us the company, the destinations, gave us a pre-employment contract, they taken our passport copies and school certificates, they presented the benefits of working for them.
After a good thinking I rejected they offer, before mailing me the airplane ticket. They don’t offer you accommodation, just 300 $ to provide one, the salary is around 2000$ (this includes the 300$ for accommodation). If anyone needs the exact amount of money I will provide it, because I still have their contract.
If you really think that you can’t make it for a better company, RJ may be a start, but if you think that you deserve better, go for your dream. Now I’m waiting for the golden call from EK, I had my final interview on 26th oct in Sofia, I just fallow my dream to work for EK or EY.
So good luck to all girls and boys that dream of becoming a Flight Attendant, finger crossed and never give up, your day will come.
