12 Apr Interview with Bea, Wizz Air cabin crew, winner from her first try

When you first see Bea, you get hypnotised because her eyes steal your heart. Then, when you start talking to her, you discover that Bea is more than just a pair of gorgeous eyes. Bea is gentle, kind, sweet and always with a smile on her face. Our student is a fighter and a free spirit. I think the Wizz Air recruitors saw that in her so that’s why they decided to choose her to be part of their family, right from her first interview.

Bea told us how she went from desire to action, what steps she followed to get where she wanted in the shortest time.

1. Who is Bea and how would you describe her if you were her best friend?

My friends describe me as a positive, funny and responsible person, often “the mom friend of the group”,  but who is Bea?! it’s a difficult question for me because I can say I’m still searching for the answer. I discover it with each passing day. What I can say for sure is that Bea is a dreamer, a girl who puts passion and soul into everything she does.

2. How did you activate the “microbe” of flight in you? How and where did this happen? How did you come to dream of a job up in the clouds?

The flight microbe… I can say that it has activated itself. All my life I wanted to travel and have a job that allowes me to to do it. After a few years of office work I realized that I ain’t made to have a normal job from 9 to 17, I realized that I need something different. I started looking for another job and cabin crew turned out to be perfect one for a girl who gets bored quite quickly and is terrified of the thought of having a boring and ordinary life.

3. How did you go from desire to action? What steps did you follow to get this job?

After the thought of becoming a flight attendant remained in my mind, the first step was to google and inform myself as much as possible about what this job entails. I started searching on the internet for different information about how to become a cabin crew member. I read so many articles and this way I chose to click and visit your site “How to be cabin crew”, where I got impressed that most of the information I was looking for were written on your website. I discovered the interview preparation course and the next day I signed up for it, at the end of which I was SURE that this is the job I want.

4. How many airline interviews did you attend before you were victorious?

Only one. I like to think that its success is mainly due to the fact that I went to the interview when I felt the most prepared and with a very high confidence level that I would succeed.

5. How did the interview with Wizz Air go? What did you think was the most difficult part of the interview? How did you manage to get through everything and overcome your emotions?

The structure of the interview was no surprise as I had practiced all the tests in the “How to be cabin crew” course, so I was familiar with how the day was supposed to unfold. I think that’s the answer for how I managed to overcome my emotions. The number of candidates was around 40/50, and after the first test more than half were eliminated. The first test was the self-presentation one. I had the impression that self presentation is the easiest test. Well, after 20/30 people left, I realized that it is not the easiest, but the most important. This test seemed to me probably the most difficult, because there were more than 40 candidates and you had to stand out in an exemplary way to have a chance to pass. Personally, I consider it the most important, because that’s when the recruiters see you and only then you have the chance to make them like you. After the second test, “the big bad” role play, there were only 6 people left and the 6 of us took part in the final interview, so no one left after the group exercise. The final interview seemed easy to me. It lasted around 15 minutes and was like a discussion between friends, about experiences, jobs, studies.

6. Why do you think the recruiters chose you? Which quality mattered the most?

Honestly, I don’t think I did anything in a particular way, it was just me being me. I tried to be as natural and relaxed as possible during the interview. I smiled a lot. But if there really was a reason, I think they chose me because of my positivity. Sincerity and naturalness mattered the most.

7. Did you prepare with our team through a course? How did it seem to you and how much do you think it helped you in passing the interview? What do you think about the trainers?

The “How to become cabin crew Academy” team and the course helped me a lot! The attitude, the special character of the trainers, the atmosphere in the course room and the information I received exceeded my expectations. They helped me in overcoming my fears, certain barriers and most importantly to get out of my comfort zone. After the interview I realized that without the course I would not have been able to pass from the first try. I learned a lot, I knew what the recruiters were looking for. I know it’s a bit cheesy, but I really don’t have the words to express how grateful I am for the Academy’s team.

8. What advice would you give to “How to become cabin crew” readers who want to follow your example and work as flight attendants?

To be brave enough to go beyond their comfort zone and, no matter the cliche, to follow their dream. And the ideal first step would be to enroll themselves in the course, in order to get involved in the world of aviation, but also to practice tests and learn to overcome their emotions.

9. A message for “How to become cabin crew” team 🙂
