How does this position fit into your career goals?

"My primary goal in my career as a flight attendant is to become a senior team member and eventually train others in the airline industry. I feel that what Aer Lingus offers is a strong path towards those goals and I am excited about what this position has to offer."

Is this particular position a good fit? Is it a step up in your career or - a stagnant move that you are just complacent with taking until something better comes along? Assure the interviewer that this position will be challenging for you, is a step up in responsibilities, and that it fits with your overall career goals.

"This position offers the next steps in my career and the growth that I am ready for. I have spent the last couple of years attending additional coursework to get me here, and I'm excited to show Aer Lingus what I can do!"

"My primary goal in my aviation career is to become a senior team member and develop leadership skills and eventually grow into either management or recruiting role for the airline. I am excited at the opportunities and the training Aer Lingus offers and cannot wait to start my career with you."

What unique qualities about yourself would you bring to our company?

"I have a unique ability to strike up a conversation and build rapport with nearly anyone. This skill is a great help when it comes to customer service and sales. My up-selling percentages are always very high."

There are some things that your resume cannot do. Showing off your fabulous personality is one of them, for instance! Talk to the interviewer about some of your unique qualities and be sure to tie these qualities into how they will benefit the company, should they hire you.

"I have a strong ability to lead teams of people no matter their background or personality. I can relate to many people because I approach them on their level and get to know them in a way they are most comfortable."

"I have a strong ability to relate to people from different backgrounds. This is particularly useful in customer service roles where I can strike up a conversation with people easily and build a rapport with anyone."

How will you earn the trust of your coworkers?

"I feel that the best way to earn the trust of my co-workers is to be helpful, always do what I promise, and be honest with them at all times. Strong relationships have to be built on these principles."

Workplace relationships are important to nurture. Talk to the interviewer about how you plan to earn the trust of your new co-workers, should you be offered the position.

"Here are some ways that you can build trust with your coworkers:- Show common courtesy. Say hello, hold the elevator door, bring coffees now and then - Be respectful in your communication, avoid over cc'ing unnecessarily in emails - Avoid being a distraction, and respect the use of their time - Respect their personal space and the line between work life and personal life - Always ask if they have time before diving into a conversation - Try to find the answer to your questions before running to ask a manager or co-worker - Connect with them on LinkedIn but avoid more personal social media platforms - Treat everyone the same, regardless of their job title - Do not complain about your job to your coworkers - Reach out to new employees and make them feel comfortable - Own up to your mistakes and fix them - Be timely with your followups and meet your deadlines"

"I like to bring positive energy to work from the get-go, so showing common courtesy and demonstrating a willingness to do the work, and being helpful are ways to earn their trust rapidly. Reliability is very important to me so I try and show them that I can be relied upon."

How do you determine priorities when you have multiple tasks at hand?

"I will determine which project requires my attention by the number of hours we are behind and then the project size. I am comfortable delegating tasks when needed, but I am also aware that these times will require an additional commitment of hours from me. Never have I under delivered on a deadline."

When you feel torn between multiple projects or tasks, how do you decide which one needs your attention the most? Assure the interviewer that you can be diligent when it comes to assessing your priorities.

"If, for example, I have more than one customer who needs me, I will page for assistance so that nobody is left waiting. It's essential to have team members that you can rely on to step in when you become too busy."

"I try to tackle the task that is most urgent first and make a plan of what I should do subsequently. I have no problem asking help from my coworkers if something needs to be done simultaneously such as in case of a medical emergency or if someone requires immediate assistance. I would also usually finish dealing with a customer's query before moving on to something else or else they would feel like we've forgotten them and ask someone else for the same."

What experience do you have using team-based messaging applications?

"I have used a variety of team-based messaging applications. I am best versed in Brosix, AOL Instant Messenger, and Freedcamp. No matter which system you use I am sure that I can pick it up very quickly."

There are many options for communication software and messaging applications. Give the interviewer a brief overview of the apps you are experienced in and assure them that you can learn their internal system, should it be new to you.

"Our current company uses Slack for most projects. Slack stands for 'Searchable Log of All Conversation and Knowledge,' which helps describe why it's so useful for a sales team. All knowledge of clients, products, and projects are at our fingertips. Which team-based applications do you use here?"

Where do you see yourself five years from now?

"I am looking for a long-term fit in my next position. As you can see, I had strong progress and career growth in my previous company. I would love to see the same success with your company. I did notice on your website that you have global leadership opportunities. If I could work my way into a role like that, I would be thrilled."

Interviewing and on-boarding is a costly and time-consuming process for any company and hiring manager. Assure the interviewer that you are seeking a long-term fit with your next employer. Take a look at the career growth options with the company. If any of these stand out to you, it's a great idea to mention them to the interviewer explicitly. Your expressed interest in those particular internal opportunities will solidify the fact that you are, indeed, seeking a long-term fit with them.

"It's impossible to know where you will be in 5 years but be sure to assure the interviewer that, given all possible circumstances, you could see yourself as a long-term fit for their position. For example: "Ideally, five years from now, I would love to see myself growing into a more prominent leadership role within your organization. My career interests align very nicely with your company's goals which helps me to see a great long-term fit here."

"I am looking for a long-term fit in my next position- Five years from now I would like to still be in the aviation industry but perhaps have advanced to a leadership role or have had access to any internal job opportunities. I am always looking for new opportunities to learn and progress and I believe your company is the right fit for that."

Think about a difficult boss, professor or coworker. What made him or her difficult? How did you successfully interact with this person?

"I once worked at a locally owned shop where the owner was very demanding. When the owner would walk into the store, employees would announce over their headset system that the owner was in the building, so that everyone felt prepared for his entrance into their department. The owner had great intentions; however, his people skills were a little rough. I could see that he meant well, and I recognized that he wanted to do a lot of good things. When we interacted, I always took his feedback with the understanding that he didn't mean things as harshly as they came out."

Show the interviewer that you work well with most personalities even though you recognize there are some folks out there who are quite difficult to please. Think about that one person at work who is seen as hard to please. Perhaps there is someone at work who tries to intimidate others. Talk to the interviewer about what made this person challenging and what their relationship was to you. Avoid speaking poorly of anyone and be sure to end your response on a positive note.

"I once worked for an executive who was very difficult in meetings and with interacting with groups of others. I took it upon myself to help this person interact better with others. When she would bark orders, I would reiterate what she was trying to say to the group more professionally. It took some time, but she learned to behave in a way that made people want to work with her."

"At my current job, there is a woman who has a tendency to speak down at people. In dealing with her I have found that trying not to take anything personally and not engaging in drama is the best strategy."

When you suffer a setback, how does that emotionally affect you and your work?

"Experiencing a setback is always disappointing, and can be a bit disheartening, but I understand that it happens from time to time. If I experience a major setback, I will take a few moments to debrief with my manager and discuss what I could have done differently. Then, I move on!"

Everyone handles the stress and disappointment of setbacks differently. Discuss with the interviewer how you typically cope with delays in the workplace.

"Setbacks happen for a reason, and they do not affect me emotionally in the least. I am a very pragmatic thinker and stay focused on my project despite the challenges that come my way. I am a creative thinker, so setbacks are often used as a new jumping off point to something even better."

What are your salary expectations?

"Currently, I earn a base salary of $45,000 per year plus a potential 20% annual bonus. Last year my earnings were $52,000, and I would like to stay in the same range or slightly higher."

The best way to discuss your salary expectations is to use your current earnings as an example. Be open, and honest. Transparency is the best choice when salary based questions arise.

"Although my current salary is $45K/year, I am seeking $52K in my next position. Because I work for a very small organization, they are not able to offer me a competitive compensation compared to the industry marketplace."

Tell me about a time when communication became an issue when working on a team.

"I worked on a team to solve a problem that could have potential effects on our ability to grow the business and reach our goals. Each person on the team was tasked with a different aspect, such as gathering data and analyzing it. We came together to discuss the results but couldn't seem to agree. We were struggling to listen to each person's opinion. I explained my observation, and I suggested we give each person a chance to talk through their findings and opinions, which helped us take a more collaborative approach."

Give an example of a time you when you couldn't seem to explain what you needed from other team members or, talk about how one of your team members couldn't communicate effectively. Be sure to include what the overall outcome was of the situation, and what you did to repair the communication issue.

"My current company recently went through a merger which has caused a lack of communication between the team as thoughts of job security flood people. I suggested my department head that we have a team building event. Gathering everyone together to remind them that we are still a team was very helpful."

What work situations excite and motivate you?

"I am most motivated, on the job, when tasks are organized, and the vibe is positive. I value strong teamwork and good leadership."

It is essential, for your success, that the hiring manager knows how to keep you motivated and excited to come to work every day. Share with the interviewer what they could do to ensure that you are happy and productive.

"I am most motivated on the job when I feel like an active contributor and an important member of the team. When I feel listened to and valued, I am excited to do my best work."

"I am most motivated at work when I feel like a valuable part of a team. I like to contribute to a common goal and value strong teamwork. When there is a positive atmosphere and we work together as a team I am inspired to do my best work."

Personality fit is important to us at Aer Lingus. How would you describe your personality?

"I would describe my personality as approachable, light-hearted, and positive. I believe that, if asked, my colleagues and supervisor would say the same about me."

Personality and character are two very different things. The interviewer is looking for more information on your traits vs. your integrity. This example could include buzzwords such as extroverted, energetic, and confident.

"I am confident, friendly, and a go-getter. Are these personality traits that you are looking for in your next hire?"

"I'm a positive friendly person who makes friends and adapts easily. I'm also quite empathetic and good with people which I believe makes me well suited for a role such as this one."

Rate your communication skills from 1-10 with proper examples backing your given rating.

"I rate my communication skills as a 9/10 as I will, on occasion, have times when I am not as clear as I would like to be. My supervisor and co-workers will attest to my clear and concise communication skills."

On a scale of 1-10, how skilled are you in communication? Why did you choose that particular rating for yourself?

"Clear communication is essential in the airline industry. I would rate my communication skills as a 7 out of 10 because there is always room for improvement. Because I am an open leader, my team will let me know if I need to clarify anything. Communication needs to run smoothly, both ways."

"I would rate my communication as an 8 out of 10 as there is always room for improvement. I have been teaching for about six years in different languages- communication is the foundation for teaching so I have been honing this skill for a long time. In my airline job, I always try to communicate clearly and in a positive manner with my colleagues and customers. One can easily change someone's experience into a positive one with clear positive communication."

How do you get along with others at work?

"I get along great with my coworkers. I try to maintain a positive attitude and be supportive, whether I am offering to assist someone who is overwhelmed, or if I am taking time to listen to someone who is having a bad day."

Think about your relationships with coworkers, past and present. Which ones were healthy? What were the dynamics of those working relationships? Think about what you enjoyed about some of your relationships with past coworkers. Excellent communication, sense of humor and support are all great qualities that make co-working relationships fun.

"I put a lot of effort into my relationships with my coworkers. I believe that harmonious relationships in the workplace are important for the happiness of everyone as well as for productivity levels."

"I get along great with my coworkers as I truly believe it is important to foster a positive atmosphere at work. Whether I'm helping out a colleague who needs a hand or lending an ear, I make myself available and try to be as supportive as I can."

If you could start your career over again, what direction would you take?

"I certainly do not regret the direction I have taken my career; however, if I had to start over in a new direction completely I would likely pursue my Degree in Education and become a teacher. Both of my parents were teachers, and they seemed to have a very fulfilling career. I enjoy coaching and leading others so, any tasks in my current career that related to these skills, are very welcome."

A hiring manager will be able to tell a lot about your personality by learning about your other career interests. If you could do anything over, what would you do, and why?

"I would take the same direction! I love what I do, and wouldn't change a thing. This industry brings a lot of excitement and fulfillment to my life."

"I do not regret the directions my career choices have taken me, however, if I had to choose something completely different, I would probably study something I find very interesting like psychology- I love learning about how people think and being able to help people would make me very fulfilled in my job."

At Aer Lingus, exceptional customer service is our priority. How will you ensure that our service standards are continually met?

"I understand through my research and exposure to your company that customers always come first. I wholeheartedly agree that the customer must be taken care of, even beyond their expectations."

Aer Lingus has been around for over 80 years. Their standards are high, and their customer service is highly rated. If you are familiar with Aer Lingus before your interview, you will likely know a little bit about their goals when it comes to customer service. Tie in your knowledge of the company with your service standard.

"I will ensure that your customer service standards are continually met by following your service protocols, exactly. I am always willing to lend a hand, and am a happy person, which creates a positive environment for customers."

"To greet customers with a positive attitude, keeping them well informed throughout the flight and answer any questions they may have. Treat the customers the way I would like to be treated with respect, comfort, and a smile."

"I will have a positive can do attitude at work and do my best to follow the service standards and try and create a positive experience for customers."

When have you had to shift your priorities in response to sudden changes?

"In my current role, our schedule is changed on a regular basis and always at short notice. I have been able to adapt very well to these frequent, sudden changes."

Have you been asked to change your priorities on a dime? How do you react to this kind of shift in priorities? Assure the interviewer that you can respond professionally when it comes to sudden changes.

"The airline industry is full of sudden changes, most frequently, when flight times are changed. This change affects everyone's schedule when it happens. I can roll with the punches and understand that I need to respond positively and swiftly when sudden changes are made."

"Working in the airline industry, I have encountered a lot of sudden changes such as delays, and I am aware that when that happens I have to be flexible and adapt to the situation at hand. Very often we will be on the receiving end of some unhappy customers and so keeping a positive mindset is essential to the smooth functioning of the flight."

The airline industry is full of unexpected scenarios. When have you faced an unexpected difficulty?

"The biggest difficulty that I have faced was my unexpected lay off during the last recession. I had to adapt to a new economy and search deeply for other skills and opportunities. I was able to earn enough to avoid financial strain and am quite proud of my ability to be versatile when required."

How you face unexpected difficulty can say a lot about your character. Talk to the interviewer about a time when you have encountered an unexpected challenge. How did you handle the situation?

"I face unexpected difficulty frequently in my current position. The company is in financial strain, and some days we are not able to deliver the customer experience that we should. I overcome this by giving everything I have when it comes to service. I strive to leave a good impression."

"I have faced many unexpected scenarios in my previous job as an airline. In particular long delays such as one time on a flight from Dubai to Toronto where we were delayed 3 hours after boarding. We had to make sure passengers remained calm and apologize on behalf of the airline."

What do you hope to gain most from your time with Aer Lingus?

"After reviewing the culture and mission of Aer Lingus, I feel that I would be able to find a long-term fit here and that is most important to me. Your training programs are industry renowned and well respected which is also interesting to me."

"My reaction to a safety threat would rely on my on-the-job training. I would want to make sure that I follow company protocol and safety regulations. I believe that if faced with a safety threat, I would do everything to ensure passengers remained calm."

Airlines will always have strict safety protocols. Talk to the interviewer about how you would react in a situation where you felt safety was at risk.

"I am well trained on how to react in urgent, distressed, and mayday situations. In any emergency, my first course of action is to ensure the passengers are prepared."

"If there was a safety threat, I would follow protocol and react accordingly. Generally speaking, I would make sure to communicate clearly with my team so we are on the same page and ensure our passengers are prepared and remain calm throughout."

"I am accustomed to wearing a uniform at work and am happy to abide by any dress code requirements to work with Aer Lingus."

"As you can see, I am invested in this interview process with Aer Lingus, and will bring this same level of dedication to you if I am hired. You won't be disappointed."

"I am a great candidate because I already have 3 years experience working for one of the world's leading airlines. I also have a strong customer service background and speak four languages fluently which will be very useful when dealing with customers from various nationalities.

Employees of Aer Lingus are expected to be reliable, on time, and accessible when on shift. Do you consider yourself to be a dedicated employee?

"In my most recent position I was often recognized for being flexible with my availability. I believe in being 10 minutes early for work. I come with solid references who will be happy to speak to you about my reliability and dedication on the job."

Aside from your experience working in the airline industry, do you have experience in other customer service based roles?

"I started working at a young age in a restaurant as a server. From there, I moved into a restaurant management role and also attended post-secondary education with a focus on Restaurant and Hotel management. Most of what I've done has been customer service focused."

Discus with the interviewer your experience working in customer service based roles. Take them through your resume and highlight your customer service skills.

"I am available for a wide range of hours and overtime. I prefer to be made aware of my schedule ahead of time so that I can make appropriate childcare arrangements."

If an in-flight emergency occurred, would you know what to do? Assure the interviewer that you are confident in your ability to handle an emergency situation in a professional manner.
