5 tips for the cabin crew
Questions and Answers
Stay on point and relevant
You must listen to each question and provide a concise answer do not ramble, always stick to the question asked and be concise.
Provide examples?
If you can say yes to a question regarding a particular situation or skill, then back it up with an example don't just say "yes, I have done that before" you should be saying "yes, I have done that before, for example...." then follow up with "Did this answer your question...?" This allows you to extract any doubts from the interviewers by finishing with an open ended question, so you get closure.
Very important be honest
Skirting around a difficult interview question is definately not the best approach. If you do not have that skill, just tell the interviewer do not try and cover it up giving example after example which is not particularly relevant to the question. You may well have related skills which can be discussed later and the interviewers will appreciate your honesty and this will definately go a long way with helping you secure the job!
Your turn to ask questions
When the interviewer asks if you have any questions, do not be shy!You should prepare in advance some key topic areas or ask questions that may have resulted from information exchanged in the interview. Some of my favourite questions to ask include.
"How do you think I performed today?"
"Based on what I have told you regarding my experience, is their any reason for you to think that I could not do this job?"
These type of questions will bring any doubt the interviewer has to the surface, allowing you to reinforce and assure the interviewer that you are the right person for the job, and in the process nailing that doubt they may have.Also by asking questions you are showing enthusiasm and interest in the company and the recruitment process.
The next step
Unless the interviewer has clearly explained before the cabin crew final interview, the hiring stage process. You should try and establish a time frame regarding a hiring decision and who you should get in touch with for an update on your application.Ask for a name and whether you should phone or email them, clarifying this information shows you are organised, concise and professional. Also write this down on a notepad this again shows organisation.
Thank the interviewer
You should sincerely thank the interviewer for their time, give a firm handshake and make eye contact when you do this.
hope you find these tips useful and good luck.
