Interviewing for Success

• Be well prepared and have as much information on the position and likely competencies that the Interviewers will be seeking evidence of at interview. Your technical competencies (professional knowledge and ability to do the job), your behavioural competencies (your individual work style and your interpersonal style working with others) and your cultural fitness (attitudes and values) will be assessed during the meeting.   
  
  
• Interviewers will be seeking to explore your motivations for applying, therefore clearly think through the reasons you believe a career in Emirates Group, and the particular role you are applying for, will meet your career expectations. Think also about what others have said about you in previous roles, i.e. your strong points, and also the areas you are consciously developing further. This will show self-awareness and maturity, as well as a commitment to improve yourself.   
  
  
• Consider the likely questions you might be asked and have practical examples of where you have been successful and achieved results to demonstrate your capabilities when answering the questions. Think of previous experiences and how you have handled certain situations that you might face in the position being interviewed for. Have facts, and don't inflate your achievements or you are likely to get caught out when the Interviewers probe further with more detailed questions. Also, know your resume well and be able to answer any questions asked about its content.   
  
  
• Presenting a positive image at an interview is very important, therefore be on time, well dressed and groomed, and be confident in your communication. This will help you make a positive first impression. Importantly, listen to the questions asked, pause and collect your thoughts, and if you are not sure of the question then seek clarification before answering. Do not over talk and instead give detailed yet concise responses. Be aware of your body language during the interview and remember Emirates is seeking employees with positive attitudes.   
  
  
• Being well prepared will give you confidence and help you come across professionally. This combined with being as natural and relaxed as possible will give you the best chance of success.

"We are the best selling, most trusted and recognized flight attendant career guide available, both at our own website and at amazon.com. We work very hard to provide the very best customer service and the very best products all at an affordable price. I am a small town girl with a love of people and travel that is what attracted me to the flight attendant career. Believe me, I really thought it was impossibility, but I was hired at American Airlines and once I was hired, it seemed the whole world opened up, and there were just unlimited opportunities. It was always my goal to somehow share my own success with others. I have always answered questions while working about how to get hired, so I decided to simply write a great resource so everyone could share in this dream. With the input and cooperation of airlines and airline recruiters, it has evolved into the best selling, most trusted flight attendant hiring guide in the world." - KIKI WARD, Author

It's the little details that will make or break you

Airlines have been known to have applications to be filled out at the interview. If you forgot to bring your pen (REMEMBER: Bring 2 pens!!), you can ask the interviewer for one, and they will give you a pencil. Later, when they're going through the applications, they will throw out all the ones filled out in pencil, as this proves you're not good at planning ahead for a given situation. (SEE?? =) )

Are you friendly and talkative, or are you shy and keep to yourself? Your posture and how you sit, walk and talk will all be checked. This information may be reported to the interviewers before you enter their office. You will always want to be on guard at all times, not just the time you are infront of the interviewers.  Are you slumped against the wall or slouching in your seat while waiting to be called? Is this what would you consider "professional flight attendant" demeanor? Your interviewers will not! Be other airlines for that matter. Always be upbeat and positive as possible. Even if it is allowed or permissible, don't smoke during the interview process (Hello???). 

You will want to bring to your interview the following items:

• Passport
• A copy of your birth certificate
• Copies of your resume (atleast 2) with your 2 2x2 photographs, including a full length
• A copy of the information needed on the application (varies)
• Letters of reference
• Pen (2 or more!!)
• Watch ( just goes to show that you're professional)
• WATER & Sumtin' to munch when you're about to faint! :) ) (you'll thank me later)
