"First of all, I genuinely love to serve people. When I was young, I'd always be making family meals. My whole family never had to worry if they had to stay at home with sickness or an injury because they knew that I'd be so good at taking care of them! To me, I see all the people I serve as one big family. We're all living on this earth together, and we're all just trying to get through the flight to move on to our next destination. So why not make the most of it? Have fun. Sometimes, I do a little magic for the kids, if they look bored and can't sit still."

We recommend primarily sticking with the professional basics and adding in a few fun facts along the way to show the interviewer that you are a real person too. Start off by telling the interviewer about your highest level of education. Give a very high-level overview of your past position, stating your job title and what your standard job duties involved. Next, share 2-3 fun facts about yourself focusing on special non-work related skills or hobbies. For example, you might share that you enjoy beatboxing or making origami swans. Be prepared for the interviewer to stop you and ask you to perform your skill on the spot when it's possible! Finally, share with the interviewer why you are seeking a new position focusing on positives such as wanting to further your career or having an opportunity to work for this exciting company.

"Following high school, I started my career in customer service and really loved the growth track I took from an entry level position to a department supervisor by the time I was 24 years old. Getting to know one of your current Flight Attendants well through our kids' activities, she highly recommended that I apply. I've learned a lot from her about all the ins and outs of this job and it sounds like something I would love and be successful in. In my free time, I am very active outdoors with my family, and the kids keep me plenty busy with sports and other activities."
