Tips of the day : 5 Tips for the Cabin Crew Interview

1. Body Language
The little signals that we unconsciously send to the people we interact with show how you are feeling at that certain time and what you are really like. We can decode somebody’s body language better than anything else, so pay attention to it.


Posture
• Sit upright, but not too stiff in your chair – this shows that you are comfortable and confident.
• Lean slightly forward – this shows you are interested and involved.
• Very slightly tilt your head to one side – this shows you are friendly and open.

Hands
• Rest you hands loosely clasped in your lap or on the table.
• Do not touch your face – touching your nose or lips can indicate that you are lying.
• Do not elevate your hands above the neck – this shows that you are nervous and annoyed.
• Do not cross your arms across your chest – this shows a defensive attitude.
Legs
• Cross your feet at the ankles or place both your feet on the floor – this shows a professional and confident look.
• Control your leg movement – shaking or bouncing your leg shows nervousness and is distracting.
• Do not rest your leg on top of the other knee – this is perceived as arrogance.

Tone of voice
• Breathe and pause before answering questions.
• Vary your tone and pitch.
• Smile and nod at appropriate times, but do not overdo it.
• Do not laugh on your own – laughing along the interviewer is more appropriate.
• Always use words to answer questions. Don’t reply just with nods and head shakes.

Don’t forget!
• Get plenty of sleep the night before the interview. Yawning in front of the interviewer suggests boredom.
• Don’t consume alcohol the night before, and avoid spicy or garlic rich food as these may taint your breath.
