I am an A level student studying bio, chem, philosophy and psychology. I have done work experience with Bae and KLM. I am wondering what to write on an airline sponsorship form and what to say if called for an interview. Please help!

Same as for most jobs I'd suppose. Don't be boring, don't sound too manic, sound interested and interesting, be honest, be yourself (unless you're a secret axe-murderer) and tell the truth.

Not very helpful I know.....

PS: No, don't suck up - I think that most people detect it and dislike it.

Ooops...forgot something. BE INFORMED!

Have a look at the Wannabies section. Look at the interview section at the bottom. You will find some useful things on this forum.
Good luck....

The last thing the intervieww board want to hear is you telling them what their company isn't. Tell them why their company can be good for you, and be yourself and be honest. The board are not stupid, so if you try and bu115h!t them, they will tear you apart.
Remember, they are looking for someone that they can sit next to on a flightdeck for hours on end, and not want to strangle before landing.

If you are a serial axe murderer it might be helpful to admit it to the board...

...As long as you also admit to knowing where they live! :)


If that fails, then you'll just have to fall back on being a normal, reasonable & likeable sort of person.
