How would you describe your communication style?
While there are many directions you can take your answer to this question, it is important to know that your interviewer will not just be looking to hear how you communicate with others. They will also be looking to hear about your own personal self awareness and that you are familiar with your strengths and weaknesses when it comes to communication. Because you will be working face to face with both customers of the airline and staff as well, your interviewer wants to know that you are comfortable in your own shoes when it comes to communication on the job. Prior to your interview, make sure to do some self reflecting to be able to accurately describe your communication style, why it works for this kind of job, and highlight one area where you think this job will help you become a better overall communicator.
"I'm a person that tends to wear their heart on their sleeve and speak what's on my mind at all times. When it comes to relating to customers on the job, this me to be up front and honest in both positive and negative situations with customers, and I don't shy away from hard conversations, when needed. My colleagues have always appreciated my ability to speak my mind and not be withdrawn in the workplace. Over my career, I've learned how to not let my emotions get the best of me. In those moments, I've learned that I need to step back, take a deep breath, and assess the situation before I go any further."
