When did you realize you wanted to become a flight attendant?
"I realized that I wanted to become a flight attendant when I realized that I love taking good care of people and that I love traveling. At first I thought I'd work for a hotel because I figured that there would be travelers from all over the world and that it'd be great to meet all kinds of people. But then I decided that I wanted to travel myself. Considering all the things that I love to do and do naturally, being a flight attendant was the clearest fit for me."
While possessing the right skills and abilities is important for a role as a flight attendant, your interviewer will also be looking to hear that you have a distinct passion for the job, and they're looking to feel your passion for this work in your response. As you prepare for your interview, think of how you can express your passion for this work by talking about how your dream of becoming a flight attendant came to be and what you would be most excited about, if hired.
"I have wanted to be a flight attendant since I was a teenager. My best friend had an older sister who was a flight attendant and her life seemed so glamorous. Now, I realize that it isn't all the glamour I once thought, but to have the ability to travel the world while I work would be incredible. I am so excited about the potential and the opportunity."
