I've been a flight attendant for 3 different airlines (2 went out if business) for the past 35 years. The last 18 1/2 have been with the same major US carrier. I am helping a friend prepare for the video interview and we came across this youtube video. I just want to give you kudos. Not only for the great job and tips in making the video, but in getting the face to face and the job. I've done F/A recruitment in the past, and I would hire you in a heartbeat! I just hope that the airline that is hiring you is mine! Best of luck at training, and I hope to see you on the line. Brian
bgold50 awww thank you! :) I’m so happy to be working for my airline. I just really love the job! I’m happy to hear this video is at any way useful and encouraging. :’)
Hi i have been invited to do an online video with a major airline and need some tips on the questions. Any help you assist will be greatly appreciated.
Can I just say THANK YOU for your video, I passed my video interview after following your tips and I had my assessment centre day today. I’ll find out in two weeks if I’ll be in the skies!! Your video was absolutely fantastic so thank you x
I had my video interview this morning!! I’m so excited to see what the future holds. It’s definitely a cool thing to be able to watch flight attendants talk about their experiences on RU-vid.
Wow thank you so much Laly. I just received my email from United Airlines to complete my first video interview. Your advice and tools helped me alot. I truly believe I will be a flight attendant. Thank you Thank you Thank you.
Loved your video! Thank you for all your tips! I too am a believer in setting your focus and intention on what you want as well! Way to go go and congrats on your success!!!
Congratulations on your CJO, Laly! Best of luck with everything! A lot of good tips here--I recently bought a red lip cream, but because I've never used bright red lip colors, I'm not confident enough to rock it yet. It never even occurred to me to look for tips on wearing red lipstick, so thanks for that! I'm gonna check out some vids for that now. Omg, lol on studying the airport codes even way before training because that's exactly what I'm doing right now! I'm utilizing Quizlet and contemplating whether or not I should make physical flash cards, but nevertheless, I'm getting a head start on those codes, too!
Van Pham thank you! I've now ventured out to using more reds! Def practice wearing it out on nights you go out! It helped me figure out how long it lasts!
I never ever comment on youtube videos, but after watching you, I had to....JUST LOVE YOU! Thank you so much for being so real, so honest, and soooo relatable! This is my dream job too! Crossing my fingers and saying my prayers!
Julia McFall 🤗 I feel all warm inside now hahahah!! Thank you for the kind words :) I wish you the best of luck in fulfilling this dream of yours. Keep positive, don’t give up, and remember everything happens when it’s supposed to!
ferreyra1966 :D awww Thank you! You’re so kind! I’m sure you have your amazing qualities. You were kind enough to compliment me so that already says a lot about your personality!
You're an inspiration! It's always my dream to be a flight attendant but felt like I'm not going to qualify as one! Great video! Hope you'll keep on inspiring us by sharing more videos like this! 🤗
Jaja Catada Thank You!! ☺️✨ Anything is possible if we really put our minds to it. If it’s something you’re interested in, try and make it happen! I really do hope to release more “how to” videos on the process real soon! Thank you for watching and leaving a sweet comment! 💕
Super awesome advice. I see why you got the position. Great video, my first time watching and have subscribed. Love your presentation. Thanks for deciding to share...really good info.
Ana Mercedes Ortíz :) thank you!! It’s amazing. I wake up happy to have my job...even when I have 4am reporting times 🤣 well... happy after I’ve had my coffee.
HI ISABEL, thanks for share ur experience , so i m gonna to start my video interview, but i have some quesion ? ..she didnt say about what question they ask ?..so may i know what s question about it ? thanks
@@ticoman12 no :/ ..that was weird!!! RU-vid wasn't helpful!!! Bcuz as I started to interview..o saw there are six steps interviews consistently that nobody talks interview questions!!!! So I wasn't ready to answer and I failed...just everyone talks about how you should be make up and introduce yourself but it's just one part of online interviews..so all things in RU-vid is useless!!!! I'm so mad of it bcuz I lost my chance!
CONGRATULATIONS! That’s awesome! I just passed my phone interview on Thursday and I have a face-to-face interview for January 17. I’m pretty excited. I bet you are too. We can do this!
:D Thanks! Love that you're watching everything out there on this! When I got to that point, I finally felt super ready to move forward. Best of Luck!!
Thank you for the tips, I subscribed. Had a slight malfunction during my webcam interview, but it worked out okay. I was shaking in my shoes, but I am confident I did well. I can't wait for the second round.
Susan Pozey I really hope it went well Susan!! I freaked out when my computer shut off during my video interview but I acted quick and returned to answering the rest of the interview! Keep the positive attitude, I love it!!
I will keep you posted. I watched every rpisode of Flight Attendant School - the show was very helpful. Also, I'm getting helpful hints from RU-vid and, like you, doing research.
DEISi Lozano I really hope it went well!!! I recorded a face to face interview tip video and it’s coming soon after my vacation! :) Best of luck! You got this!
thank you so much for sharing these useful tips!!!! Also, you makeup is pretty good in the video~ I have tried few times of flight attendant interview before but got booted out at the first stage. >
Hi Leslie, your video has inspired me. I applied for a major airline for a flight attendant position. I did the one-way video interview and now they have requested a phone interview which I will be doing soon! I'm a little nervous but I watched your videos online to prepare me with the S.T.A.R. module and also to remain positive and knowledgeable. Please wish me good luck for them to consider me for an in-person interview. I've prepared so much and still preparing. My goals are to be as natural as I can but yet professional and pleasant. Would you have additional tips for me at this time going forward? Looking forward to hearing from you soon! Thanks, Ceejay
Cee Jay hello :) I’m sure you will do great especially if you did your research! Just show them your personality and who you are! Just imagine how they would want you to treat their customers. Show them you have the skills they’re looking for! I made a video on that, it could help with your f2f. Best of luck!!!
Hi Leslie, So some relatively good news. So I passed my phone interview this past weekend, and I have been asked to attend what I might consider to be the final round of interviews. I have been asked to participate in a group interview/f2f. I would like to especially thank you for your online videos and kind works of encouragement and insightful tips. I am going to need all the prayers, well wishes, good luck, more confidence, research of course. lol and smiles to pass this final round. Could you possibly send me the link to the video which you mentioned on showcasing your skills in my group/f2f interview? I am super excited, I'm almost there but not quite there yet. Thanks again, and I am looking forward to hearing from you soon! Ceejay
Cee Jay I keep hearing good news from everyone! I’m so happy to hear you’ve been invited to the f2f!! Stay positive, remain lifted, and believe in yourself! You’re doing everything you can to make this happen and when it finally does, you’re going to feel so proud of yourself. Thank you for the kind words. It warms my heart to hear this. And remember take everything one step at a time. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XojrrNspgcM.html The video is called 2017 flight attendant resume guide.
Hi Leslie, believe it or not your videos and just hearing from you have helped me significantly. Thank you always for the kind words. I received my flight details for my f2f and I am taking your advice into consideration. Smile all the time, dress professionally and just BELIEVE in yourself. Those words speaks volumes to my spirit. Thank you, thank you again and I will keep in touch. Always the best, and safe travels in the sky. Ceejay
Hi, great video! Could you please manage your settings so that I can download the video? I teach English to future flight attendants and I would like to use your video in class.
Sanskriti Shaw oh no!!! I’m so sorry your comment slipped through the cracks! :( Some comments never make it to me somehow. Do you mean being bullied by your own crew members?
I was very fidgety and messed up my words but I feel like i answered the questions well I just messed up some of the and by messed up I mean I repeated some of them like I will answer the question but one word I would have to reword it will I get disqualified for messing up some of my words per question because I was super nervous even though I practiced my questions like literally all the time
Hello! To be completely honest, I think if you answered the questions and maintained your composure, you still have a good chance! I can’t remember if I mentioned in the video about my mess up during the interview. I had a major glitch on the second to last question I was asked. I didn’t even finish answering when my entire computer shut down!! Can you believe it?! I have no clue why or how it happened and of course it had to happen in the worst moment ever! I quickly rebooted my computer, re-entered the link, and it skipped that question all together! My heart was racing. I dove right into the last question, but I gave it my all and kept on smiling even though I was devastated inside! Remain positive, don’t think about it too much. I like to think composure helps a lot especially since flight attendants are essentially always on the spotlight. :) Good Luck!
Thankyou so much that makes me feel so much better and yes I kept smiling the whole time and kept calm and positive so hopefully they see that and choose to ignore the mess up lol i wore exactly what you said too and my camera was good
Thank you for the tips ! I was just wondering, what are some of the questions that they asked you during your video interview please? Greatly appreciated :)
Hi there :) Any questions that helped prepare me and my answers were found through google searches. I looked up every possible question I could get asked in a regular interview and a flight attendant based interview and I wrote down my answers to all of them. Doing this helps gather all your thoughts. It’s a lot of work, but worth it in the end.
I'm doing my online interview a day from now, I really hope my outfit is okay, I have a white blazer top and white top underneath and I'm wearing the white pearl earrings. Hope I get it! Gonna be studying all tonight and tomorrow! Good luck, all! :)
LifeWithLaly no prob! No luck this time around but I'm not giving up, applying to other airlines as we speak! And hey, at least I had the experience and can be better prepared this time! So, on to the next! 👍😃
Chenanigans That’s the spirit! I was denied from one airline before another one let me in :)!!! It’s all a learning experience and practice! It just takes patience! Definitely don’t give up!
Hi Laly, I was wonder how are you going with your crew training? Have not seen you update anything on your channel. Or due to the company contract so you are not allowed to share anything anymore? Looking forward to hearing from you. Thank you for your upload this video.
Pete Pitiphat Hi, Pete! I left a few updates in the description of this video :) I have since graduated and moved to my base city. I settled in and started on a new video coming soon. Between trips and running errands between 2 cities, it's been difficult finding time to edit my video, but I will be working on it a lot today! Thanks for watching and I hope the next one is as helpful as this one!
Thanx for sharing all the tips but something is still inclear. So somehow it turns out that a video interview is one thing, and a LIVE video interview is another? I mean, at a video interview you are asked some typical questions by...who? a robot? do the questions just appear on the screen or what? and does that mean that only after you've passed your video interview that you can be offered a real video interview with a real human recruiter? I don't really get how it all works.
Hello :) You are correct. The video interview is one interview. The In-person interview is another. Depending on the airline you are going for, prepare to possibly do a phone interview as well. Airlines usually change up the methods, but preparations for these interviews are generally the same. My video interview was done through a link. A question would pop up on my screen and after a countdown, I was being recorded on a timer. Then, it proceeded to the next question. The hiring process usually involves a personality test followed by several interviews. You only proceed to the next interview if you pass the previous one as a possible candidate. My in-person interview was a group interview. The group interview is where you will have all eyes on you. :) I hope this cleared up your questions!
hello there! thank you so much for the video... i just got the invitation for a video interview yesterday! I am so excited! I just have a couple of questions I would like you to help me with: can I wait a few days (lets say 4 days) since I got the invitation to do the interview? my other queation is: would being short be a limitation to get the job? I am 5" and don't know if that would be a problem. Thank you!!! good luck!
Cruz Hello! :) Thank you for watching! Double check and make sure the link doesn’t expire before you have the chance to do the interview! See when the last day you have to do it is, and do it way before then! Take a day to practice questions in a mirror over and over again and then just go for it! I made mistakes during my video interview so try to calm any nerves and smile! Also, the height requirement is different from airline to airline. Normally on the requirements page of the job description, they will list all requirements which would include the height reach test. I wish you the best of luck!
Passaweepich P. I really hope it does! These tips aren't just my own, other classmates and flight attendants have done the same thing :) Just keep putting in the work! I wish you luck!
I’m from UK. Have applied for an airline and awaiting to hear on my application. If I’m successful it’l be video interview. So nervous and anxious Already
Hello! Thank you for the tips! I saw that you filmed it on a nikon. Did u have to send it from ur camera? I was going to use link from my macbook and film from there.
Melo Hailey hi there! :) I used a card reader to transfer it onto my mac. Then, I edited it in premiere pro and exported it using a RU-vid tutorial. After that, I uploaded it onto RU-vid.
maythebassbewithyou Here’s my thought on it, think of it as “making a first impression”. If they see the effort you took in appearances and you make a lasting impression, this could help them visualize you representing their company and brand! As flight attendants, we interact with hundreds of their customers daily. Wouldn’t you want to find someone who represents the brand well? :)
@@LifeWithLaly Do not worry about it.I haven't done the live video interview yet,it is scheduled next week.I think that this live interview would be replacing the face to face because of covid.That is my best guess
How many days do you have to do the Video interview? That's seems like a lot of preparation for the vedio interview. How long did it take you to prepare?
Hi Lady! How are you? I love your video. Your tips are great, thank you! I have a question. I have a small tattoo in my wrist. As far as I know that might be a big issue. How are the American airlines companies are dealing with it? Is it okay cover up? I think I already know the answer, but... Thanks! I hope you are enjoying your new life!
Paloma Soares I don’t know much over this :( I only overheard from friends that people were turned away for tattoos in more visible areas whereas tattoos on areas like the chest or back or arms were okay so long as they were always hidden by clothing at all times and they were upfront about the tattoos from the beginning. I don’t know how true this is, but I really couldn’t give you a solid answer because ultimately it’s up to the airlines whether or not your tattoos are acceptable and they can change at any time. :( I’ve never seen a flight attendant with a tattoo in uniform though.
I applied for delta on sunday and got an email for a video interview 10 minutes later. The email said I could take my time to take the video interview but a lot of videos on RU-vid said it's best to do the interview right away. So I did the video interview yesterday. How long till I hear back? Anybody know
Jess Jess Take a day or two to practice your answers in the mirror or with a friend until you’ve repeated your answers enough to know how you would answer. Then take it as soon as possible. But remember only take it once you feel ready and prepared! Seniority is everything on the job hahah you’ll want to get in quick! As far as wait time....it’s a long game of patience. Good luck on your interview!! Hope this video helps! I hear they’re hiring thousands 🤯
Hi Reggie! Unfortunately, I can't say who I work for. :( I did however recently work with an awesome flight attendant who graduated in the classes after me that used to work for Skywest! She's awesome.
I’m currently helping my mom prepare for the video interview. Is the video interview “face to face” with someone through video chatting? If not how does it go? Because she’s currently sick right now and not able to video chat for the interview. Also, is there a way to postpone it? If anyone could write back to me, that’d be great thank you
I'm sorry Maria, I sometimes do not get notifications on some of the comments I receive. It seems this one has slipped through the cracks :( The video interview I took was not face to face with a person, it was a recording of me answering questions displayed on a screen. I believe you can chat with whoever is handling your interview process to try and postpone an interview due to sickness. Again, I'm so sorry I am just now seeing this. I hope this helps someone out there.
Hi...thanks great tips....how many and what airport codes did you study.....Dom & Int'l? I have a list of 46 pages....should I've studying ALL of them? Thanks!
Surprisingly, my airline did not tell us to study the airport codes, but I know it varies with every airline! I fully planned on studying them until someone mentioned we wouldn't be focusing on them. Instead, the safety aspect of the job was the primary focus. They're good to know though! Plus, they could always change it up for the next training class. My biggest advice would be to take it one step at a time. :)
What about the Assessment Questions ... I haven't heard back from a major airline since i answered the Assessment Portion Does that depend on them sending you an Video interview?????.. If so please give tips
Hi there! :) Don't give up hope yet! My process took months and depending on where you land on their timeline of hiring, it's hard to say when you should hear back! Even if you don't, don't give up and keep reapplying. I've gone through training with people who have gone through the interviews 5 times.
such a great video! I feel nervous just watching it haha. I have a question for you. Are you sure of getting the job when they invite you for a face to face? Because right now I live in Holland and I want to apply for the job bilangual. (english and dutch) at american airlines. BUT, if they invite me over that means I have to pay 600 dollars for a plane ticket just for an interview. The tips in this video are really good thanks!
My friend actually lived in Holland and she gave our airline her San Fransisco address where she temporarily stayed. Not entirely sure how she made that work, but I know my airline was in need of Dutch speakers at the time. I don't believe there are openings right now. I don't remember hearing about any positions being opened. Keep applying to every airline that needs Dutch speakers! I didn't know until the very end of the face to face interview that I had gotten the job. I just kept telling myself I'm a great person for this job and I was at some point going to get this job. It's such a long process to go through, but 100% worth it in the end IF you know exactly what to expect with this job and the lifestyle change. Some people have already quit because they weren't ready for the transition. My airline flew candidates in for their face to face, but being out of the country, it's a lot riskier not knowing if you'll even get the job. I can only say if its a job you really want, figure out a way around it just to see what the interview is like. If you don't get it, at least you know what to expect for when you try again!
LifeWithLaly wow thanks for taking the time to write be back so fast! Maybe I'll just apply and send then an email later on. I can always ask what the alternatives are (if there even are any). I'll go through some interviews in my own country, just for the experience! I hope it will prepare me for the real deal :) Thanks x
I really dream to become a flight attendant 6 years from now I wan't to ask you do you know some flight attendant who became one despite their height not being tall. I'm currently 16 and I'm 4.11😢
Entice LovesAndProtects7Dorks I haven’t personally asked flight attendants about their height, but every airline is different. They always list their requirements on their application pages!
Hi Maureen, I mainly used google to take me to sites that could help me with that. In the video, I think I mention Glassdoor. With a bit of research, it should help you prepare for the interviews!
Vladimer Sujashvili As I said in the video, check Glassdoor and google for the questions! It’s hard work that pays off in the end! Write them all down! That’s what I did and I felt it really helped me prepare.
Christine Bee I did make one! It was ready to be released months ago, but my laptop crashed and I lost all my work!!! 🙈😭 I’ve been on many vacations since then hahah...so I just dropped my MacBook yesterday to get repaired. 🤞🏼 Hopefully, I’m up and running again in the next few months!
Cynthia Pierre Personally, I would use a desktop or laptop instead, but I’ve heard of people using phones and iPads :) I️ used a desktop thinking nothing would glitch during my interview, but I️ ended up having a bad glitch either way lol.
So once I click on the link I will hear the questions to answer? I am going to do a practice run. I’m so nervous... I’ve been watching videos on YT as well but your put everything into perspective. I hope you make more. Thanks
Cynthia Pierre once you click the link they send you, It should start the process where you see the question and then you answer. Def practice a few times in the mirror! You got this!
mollymm54 They can all be found on Glassdoor! You just have to put in the work and read all of them. As I stated in the video, just write them all down! No question will take you by surprise if you read them over and over again.
Tevin Johnson Don’t be discouraged! We learn from everything we do! Was It your f2f or video or phone? When I did my video interview, I had computer malfunctions and didn’t feel so great about how It went. Don’t give up! Tons of people try again and again and are happy when they finally make it. Everything will happen in it’s time 💕
thank you for your reply it was just the video interviews i smiled but often stumbled on my words because i got nervous hopefully my personalty shined thru it
odaliz paz Not generally. I think it always preferred, but not necessary. Most airlines should have a requirements page on their site when applying. They really look for customer service experience :)
Karen Fogarty hi Karen! There are tons of questions they could ask you. I found all general questions on Glassdoor! They even post the most recent interviews they’ve had. Head to Glassdoor and read the threads! That’s what I did and I wrote them down and practiced! It’s a little bit of hard work, but worth the research!
Thank you for the tips. I passed my video interview which I did about 3 weeks ago and got invited by the airline I applied to for a phone interview. Do you have any tips for that and is that a normal part of the hiring process? That is getting asked to do a phone interview before a f2f?
James Krten I was never given a phone interview, but yes! I’ve heard from others that they’ve gotten a phone interview! Every process is different! Things constantly change! Just be prepared to sell your awesome self and have your answers ready!
Siobhan Quinn hi there :) Unfortunately, I will not be able to address who exactly I work for. This is due mainly because of social media policies airlines have and also because this channel will only ever represents my personal views/opinions/tips. I hope this channel continues to be helpful in upcoming videos regardless!
Olivia Salvato what?! Hahah no!! US carriers don’t look at that haha. I have heard some international carriers pay to fix your teeth though! Can anyone confirm or deny?
M Wasim pervez Jaan hahah omg I know 🤦🏼♀️ I tried. BUT! Here’s one of my favorite male flight attendant channels: Adonis Cruz (hopefully the link I attach works, but if not that’s his name on RU-vid) ru-vid.com/show-UCfr8ho5Q42tsVTeUunWd7Fw I followed his channel during my training and he’s on a better roll with rolling out videos! 😅 One day I’ll be organized about my videos ONE DAY...soon. Lol
