QUESTION AND ANSWER:
1. What can you tell me about yourself?
This is one of the first questions most interviewers ask. Keep your answer professional and talk about what you've done in your recent work. If you just graduated, talk about what you studied and why, and what you're looking for now that you graduated.
2. Why do you want to be a flight attendant?
You should have researched the job and company as a part of your interview preparation. Then, make sure you're ready to name specific reasons this job is exciting to you and fits with your career goals.
If you don't seem like you know what the job involves and/or can't explain why this position is attractive to you, then you're very unlikely to get hired for a job as competitive as a flight attendant.
3. What do you know about airline?
They may ask a question like this to see if you've done your research. Go to the airline website and read about their history. How big are they? Where are they headquartered? Where are their main hubs?
Make sure you know how many employees they have, when they were founded, and their company history (if they've gone through mergers, etc.) Learn this basic info so you can recite this back to the interviewer if they ask this question.
4. Why do you want to work for an airline?
Along with asking, "Why do you want to be a flight attendant?" (mentioned earlier), they'll also want to hear a specific reason why you applied to their company.
So make sure you know some facts about their individual airline, and mention what you admire or like about their company.
5. What do you think makes our airline different from its competitors?
Along with knowing some basics about their company and its history, try to know one or two things that set it apart from competitors. This can be its reputation, the places it flies to and serves, the excellent customer service or reviews, etc. Just make sure you're saying something that's true!
6. What type of work environment do you prefer?
You should answer this by mentioning that you enjoy a fast-paced, collaborative work environment. If you tell the interviewer that you like to work alone, or that you typically like a very slow environment, it could cost you the job.
You can read a full article on how to answer "What type of work environments do you prefer?"
7. What are your greatest strengths?
Ideally, pick strengths that are related to the job, or will help you in this job. You should be thinking, "What will convince the interviewer that I'm likely to succeed in this position?"
8. What languages do you speak?
This is a straight-forward question, and you should reply by stating all of the languages you speak at an intermediate level or above. Explain which languages you're fluent or native in, and which you're still learning.
9. Why do you want to work for British Airways?
I feel British Airways really cares for their customer and goes the extra mile and offers a level of customer service that other airlines do not offer. Mention you feel you would be proud to work for a company that sponsors Flying Start. Flying Start is British Airways' global charity partnership with Comic Relief UK. The aim is to raise money to help children living incredibly tough lives in the UK and around the world.
10. Where do you see yourself in five years?
If you don't know what to say, have a look at other BA jobs and find a position you can see yourself doing in five years.
11. What is your greatest strength?
The best way to respond to this question is to describe the skills and experience that you have which directly correlate with the job you are applying for. With this in mind, review the job description and reassure the interviewer that you have the experience and skills to do the job.
12. What is your greatest weakness?
If you lack a skill required for the job then state that as your greatest weakness. However, tell the interviewer how you are overcoming that weakness.
For example, customer service representatives, pilots, and flight attendants all need to speak in public.
So when asked this question state
Public speaking is my greatest weakness. However, I am overcoming this by enrolling in a Toastmasters class.
