Air New Zealand takes pride in their values, which they state have been an integral part of their airline for more than a decade. "They are the foundation of our culture and our people truly embrace and live these values in all they do - from how they show up each day and interact with each other, to how they look after our customers and communities. Working as one, we deeply value authenticity. This means being confident, open and transparent to share your ideas and being keen to listen to others. Air New Zealanders are constantly curious, always putting safety first, taking pride in doing the basics brilliantly, and endlessly thinking big, starting small, acting fast."

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

Personality and character are two very different things. This question aims to determine how well your personality aligns with their brand identity. There will be other questions later on that have to do with your character and your integrity. But this question focuses on your attitude and how well you'll connect and build relationships with their customers and their teams. So when researching what working for Air New Zealand looks like, imagine how you'd fit in and what their teams would appreciate about you.
