Flight Attendant Interview Tips: F2F | So You Want to be a Flight Attendant

EDIT: this video was filmed in 2019 and has specific details regarding my interview experience in 2017. Here is an edit regarding the first step in interviewing: the virtual interview. Since 2021 the virtual interview has changed. It is still virtual, but is now conducted as a group interview. Botha be former and questions have seems to change.
Chicago based Flight Attendant here! Going over my personal experience doing the face 2 face interview (F2F). I recorded this video almost 2 months ago and I know a lot has changed in the industry since. This information will be important for applicants in the future, once airlines begin hiring again.
My top tips are to dress appropriate, be able to talk about your resume/ work experiences, and be yourself!

Great info! Thank you

[@arvellagreen1102]

Thank you so much

[@jasmincamarena8342]

You mentioned that you cut your hair during training, does this mean that long hair isn't allowed to be let down the way you let down your short hair? It has to be slicked back? Is this requirement for training only or for every time you're on the job? I''m binging your entire channel, I love how detailed you are and love that you're sharing this FA life with us!

[@analeakey2770]

I really like your videos. You have a good tone of voice, you go straight to the point, give good information and sound very professional. How did you learn your communication skills. Did you take any course or do you recommend any book?

[@TheDailyDeparture]

Thanks for the compliment! I just write an outline before filming the video to make sure I get all the points. I also have a bachelors degree in organizational communication so maybe that helps a bit lol

[@eahn05]

When do find out where your home base will be? Is it after training? Did you get your first pick?

[@kellyparks8452]

Is it ok to use the same scenarios you told when answering the questions in your virtual interview in the face to face? Or do you need to come up with a different scenario for the same question?

[@pattifarmer3378]

Hello! Thanks for the great info! Do you have any tips for the video interview? I have one with Delta in two weeks.

[@Sue-nt3gw]

Hey 👋🏾 How did everything work out??

[@nickigrande1945]

After f2f interview is any chance or miracle to get cto? Or they can easily for most people reject? I mean do not move forward

[@horsewithnoname12345]

Hi, a few questions:
- when they fly you out for the interview, do they pick you up at DFW to take you to the location and are you immediately thrown into the interview or do they fly you out a day before? Do you have time to change or straighten up? Usually after a 3 hour flight I don’t necessarily look very presentable after being squished in a tiny main cabin chair haha.
Do they fly you out first? Is it confirmed or standby?

[@toddschmit1542]

They pick you up and take you to the location

[@malariedugan4442]

do you do training and then apply for a job with an airline and do more training? or do you just apply and then start training? just curious because i’m interested in becoming a flight attendant !

[@lucypotts3272]

I’m not a flight attendant, but i know that you apply and get hired, and then you go through training. I want to be a flight attendant too!

[@nadiaangeline5265]

for f2f how long is it? (should i wear heels?)

[@cynthiajoseph5216]

Hi, I am wondering about the hiring process. I have a phone interview scheduled for later on this month. They said they liked my application, assessment and one way video. I didn't know about the face to face interview, but I guess that will come after the phone interview, right?

[@Sue-nt3gw]

Hi! How did it work out?

[@soniacortez4135]

I wanted to know if I should pay to go to flight attendant academy before even applying to an airline?

[@destaniea]

Every video I’ve watched advises you to not do those academies

[@theesweetestpeach7957]

Do you HAVE to wear makeup?

[@badfreshtm8217]

What about if you have bangs? Thank you!

[@TheDailyDeparture]

For the interview theyre probably fine to leave out! It training if they are not straight across bangs they will want those out of the way and sprayed back

The whole tattoo thing is fine as long as you cover them up, but not so long ago I saw a flight attendant with a neck tattoo at one of United regional partners. Seriously, a neck tattoo, you know how out of place that looks on a flight attendant? What's next? face tattoos?
