Ryan Brunner has over ten years of experience recruiting, interviewing, and hiring candidates in the healthcare, public service, and private manufacturing/distribution industries.

Working as part of the flight operations team at British Airways will put you face to face with many different people each day on the job, and your interviewer is looking to see how you handle a situation where a fellow employee is just not getting the job done correctly. Chances are, you have run into a situation like this at some point during your working career, so try to think about a situation where you can paint a clear picture of the situation and how you handled it with grace. To seal the deal for your interviewer, make sure that the situation you talk about highlights your ability to do what is right and hopefully even convince your colleague to as well.

"During my college years working in the restaurant industry, I had a coworker who would always try to convince the staff closing that night to leave some of our required duties for the crew opening the next morning. He was always in a rush to get out of there soon after the door closed to customers for the night. I explained to him that not only was this work required of us by our manager, but that doing this would also put our coworkers the next day in a very tough bind to be able to complete all of their tasks prior to the doors opening to customers. I was raised to be a hard working and respectful person, and these are qualities I would love to bring to the British Airways team."
