Hey, The Bohemian Traveler! I enjoy watching your videos. They are so informative and filled with inspirations. As a result of watching your videos, I decided to apply for a gate agent position at the airport in my hometown, and fortunately, I was offered the position. Thank again for posting your wonderful videos.
Richard Mitchell Yay! I am so excited for you! Congratulations on your journey. I know you’re going to enjoy the flight benefits! Thank you so much for watching my videos. Enjoy your day!
I have my second interview for Southwest Airlines tomorrow. My phone interview went very well. The interviewer told me that i'd be a good fit then scheduled my face to face right after he interviewed me. Your videos have definitely helped me out a lot. Thank you so much and wish me luck!!! :D. I'm so excited!
I’m nervous about it, I’ve worked hospitality for so long and I’ve always wanted to work for an airline so I’m taking the leap of faith and serving for customer service jobs with Delta specifically, I love the company…. The process frightens me and it seem after Covid there aren’t enough customer service jobs going around
You’ve got this! Having experience in hospitality has prepared you for this. Check job openings constantly and something will eventually come up. I wish you the best.
RockCandyBoudoir Oh wow. You had a different experience. Thank you for that comment because now we know that you can still get the job even if you are not hired on the spot. By the way, it was great working with you on Sunday.
Eric Farrar where I work, we just look at the job listings, and put in a transfer. Is it the same where you are? Also, I’m curious why you would want to change positions? Don’t you still get the great benefits? Or are you ready to work outdoors?I’m just curious. Thank you so much for the great question.
Bohemian Traveler the reason why I want to transfer and work at the Ramp is because I want to move forward and expand my interests in working at the airport. Yes I do get the same benefits such as traveling for free. I am a very versatile person and I am open with trying new things in life. Plus I am also finishing my associates in science degree in criminal justice and working at the ramp would be flexible for me to maintain school and work
Hi, Your videos are very informative. My question to you is that I have a virtual interview next week for ramp agent. I am a guy with big physique, I am 6ft high and weigh 300 lbs. I am fully active and have no issues lifting bags, bending, standing and walking. Can the airline reject me just because I have heavy personality? Please advise. Thanks in advance.
I don’t think they can reject you over weight. However, you must be able to climb in small spaces and fulfill the job description. Good luck! Let me know how it goes!
I've heard airline employees live in one city, but fly out to another city just to work for an airline. Than fly back home after their shift is over. Is that normal, can you elaborate more on that? Thanks Asking because, I have a f2f interview in Oakland for a major Airline as a Ramp agent, but live in Vegas.
Sami Liua it’s possible, but I don’t think worth the stress. That’s a lot of travel for each shift. You never know if you’ll make the flight, if there are cancellations due to weather etc. I think the way it would work it was if you put a bunch of shifts together and stayed up for a couple of days and then flew home when your week was over.
Hello, Thank you for your videos.., can you tell me, how or where do we even start the application process online? I have no experience working for an airline but I would like to start with customer service or ramp or any job that would give me flight benefits, (not flight attendant) how do I even get an interview? Linked in, Glassdoor, indeed, are there recruiters for airlines, do I go to a job fair ? What’s the process to get in the door ? Thank you 😊
Angie CJ For every position I’ve gotten, I’ve just gone online and applied. You just keep applying until you get that interview. Make sure your resume is directly related to what they are looking for her. Don’t give up, keep trying and eventually something will happen.
The Bohemian Traveler Thank you! Today a person from GAT, text me asked me for an interview but they just contract jobs for the airlines ..not sure that’s what i want, they do some flight benefits but I want to work for an airline should I decline and keep looking ? I don’t need the job, I only want the job for flight benefits- any advice will help ✌🏽
I was offered to come to an in-house hiring in California in a 3 day time. I chose a time that they offered (4pm) and then didn’t hear back. I flew from FL to CA and waited. It’s day of and I’m still waiting and emailed them. Is this typical?
Yes it is. You did your part. I’ve had times where I got emailed back a confirmation, and other times, I did not. Just show up and make sure you have the email in your phone that you sent, just in case there is any confusion. Good luck!!! Which airline?
Thank you thank you thank you for this great information. As a customer service agent what is the training like (amount of weeks/schedule)? I work full time but have off every Fri, Sat & Sun. Would I be able to complete the training? The position I applied to is as a seasonal customer service agent with Delta. Thank you just subscribed!
Quianna Enang Awesome! Thank you. I wish you the best in your airline journey. Training for me at three different airlines has always been full time. For Delta I flew to Salt Lake City for a week. Then came back and worked for a month or two. Then was sent to Atlanta for another couple of weeks. And then came home for a few months. And then was sent to LAX for a week or two. My current airline we have five weeks of full-time training as well. But they do break it up within 1 to 2 week increments. And we have to fly out of state. Hopefully, your training is more flexible. I will upload a video that talks about what to expect after you get hired.
Jennifer A I saw the announcement via LinkedIn which then led me to the Delta website to apply. Definitely check there as well as Indeed.com. Good luck!
I really love your videos. I applied for customer service and they called me for an interview, but I only lived in the United States for 5 years. Do you think I will be able to get it?
I don’t think your time in the US will hinder you. As long as you have a valid work permit and all the documents you need to be here legally, you should be fine. Good luck with your interview!!! Let me know how it goes.
@@TheBohemianTraveler Hey, Tank you so much for all the videos you’re making. I did my interview and got the CSA position. If it wasn't for the videos you were making, I wouldn't have got the job. Keep being awesome ✨
Hello, thanks for sharing your experience. Could you please give us an opinion about applying for airline as flight-attendant or ramp agent or cleaning cabine agent (entry port jobs) knowing that the my final objective is to find a job as for exemple as IT professional after two or three years working for the airline i would apply in ..... Thanks in advance....
It’s totally up to you. In any position you can apply in-house. I would choose the position that works the best for you and what you would enjoy the most.
@@TheBohemianTraveler , how would you answer in an interview, if they make a question in case i applied to an entry position like "how long would you expect to stay stay in this entry position (flight attendant? should i mention that i expect to apply in some years as IT professional? or it would be better not to mention that?
So, I have seventeen years of customer service experience, some college, I worked as a nursing assistant for four years, and I'm pretty dramatic, dynamic and work at the airport already. Do these airlines look for anything specific in candidates in terms of likeability? ANd do you need a college degree? I have a trade that I completed and am currently working in it.
elgrigorio1 no college degree is needed. They just want at least 2 years of customer service experience. You definitely have enough experience there. I wish you the best.
@@TheBohemianTraveler Well it was certainly easier than getting the flight attendant position, that's for sure. I did get a couple of job offers, but they bailed on me, due to the coronavirus.
elgrigorio1 oh no! It’s a hard time in the airline business. Hopefully it will get better soon! The flight schedules have been reduced and the flights are empty. I pray it all turns around.
I've been at many airlines and for me it varied from starting training within 5 days of hire date to 5 months after getting hired. Training and hiring is according to station needs so that varies.
would love to get in the airline industry mainly cause of the flight benefits. What positions/airlines would you recommend? I already tried for a part-time Ramp Agent but they were very strict about not missing any days from work & especially training, so that's why I couldn't commit at this time. Friend's alum was a part-time flight attendant who would only work on weekends, etc or when available. She would call her boss say I wanna go to Paris this weekend and boom! Done. Does anything like that still exist?
Ben Johnson Her situation is very unique. Most airlines are very strict about attendance especially during training and probation periods. The only time you’d be able to have a flexible schedule like that is with seniority and also being able to do trades with coworkers.
@@TheBohemianTraveler Thank you so much for your reply.Are there any other airline jobs out there that require minimum hours and still have flight benefits? Part-time reservations from home maybe?What else?
Ben Johnson Mine does. Lol. It’s gonna depend upon your station. What is your nearest station? Some stations only have 1flight a day. Mine have about 10 or so, but the way schedules are at my station, we trade and give shifts away.
I got through the group interview for the ramo agent position(i was the second to go) and i think i got the job 🤣 cause i signed all the paperwork, got my finger prints and was told to do a urine test. They asked about if i was still in college and i am. I told them i wanted a full time job to earn extra hours, so i hope they can be flexible with my college schedule
Myia Thomas I didn’t do ramp for Delta. I did CS and yes, I had to go to salt lake and Atlanta for training. I did get hired a few years later for Delta ramp for LAX and I think the training was at the station and they got trained on site at their job.
I went for a interview last Wednesday...they said they would call me once all the interviews were done. It wasn't a "cattle call" interview though. I felt it went well though, guess we will see 😏
My friend interviewed with GoJet and Trans States and said that they sent a lot of girls home because they wore leggings to the interview that would have been great. My airline told me on the spot and had to do our drug test that day
Kate Smith wow, I believe it. The way they weaned candidates from my former airline was everyone that wore jeans, got rejected off the bat. We had to do drug test within 48 hours of getting the job. I guess they want to make sure that if you’re on drugs, you don’t have time to get it out of your system. Wow that’s amazing that you guys had on the spot drug test. Savage. LOL
Thanks for all of your airline videos!!!!!
