Airline/Aviation Job Preparation: Why do you want to work with this airline?

I know you are very well aware of the benefits, pros, or life-changing events that are going to take place once you are hired. BUT please never say these few things whenever you are asked this “Why do you want to work with this Airline?”

Few points to avoid while preparing your answer or speech:

Ø  You want to be financially independent – avoid saying this.

Ø  You like to travel - The airline is not asking you to travel but the role or the job is, getting an opportunity to travel is something that every airline will let you do.

Ø  Not only Travelling but do not mention any other perk that comes with the role of the cabin crew.

Ø  You love to meet new people or you love to talk to people

Ø  You enjoy serving people/customers.

Ø  These are a part of your job role, you are expected to help/serve/interact with people/customers. So avoid mentioning such points as well.

How to deliver the perfect Answer?

• Ø  Deliver the talk Use to construct your answer.
• Ø  Give your reason with confidence – Whatever your reason might be please be confident. Now, this can be done if you write all your ideas on a page and arrange it. Then you can read it again and again.
• Ø  Do not imitate - It is okay to listen to people how they give words to feeling and thoughts BUT guys please do not try to imitate. Do not try to use the same rhythm or process that someone else is using to answer this question. You can take an idea and prepare your points by listening to them BUT please be the best of yourself and UNIQUE.
• Ø  Converse the Audience - Although you are delivering an answer if this type of question is raised please try to change it into a friendly conversation, not into a typical question and answer round. Converting it into a friendly conversation will be a WIN-WIN situation for you.
• Ø  Put your heart into your words - No matter what your reason is for liking a particular company but if you like something it shows in your heart. Here you have to not only show your likeness through words but with both.
• Ø  Deliver with Strong and Flexible Voice - As I told earlier about voice modulation make sure you change the tone of your voice as required. Example: If you are speaking about the awesome customer service make sure your voice is soft.
• Ø  Speak with Enthusiasm – Make sure whatever good reason you have prepared in your notes you share it with enthusiasm and excitement. Because if we like something Enthusiasm is obvious.
• Ø  Show Respect – Show respect to all the things like the recruiter you are talking to, about the topic you are explaining, and your choice as well as the organization.
• Ø  Begin in a Friendly Manner – Please start your conversation in a manner that is pleasant to the ear. Because soft words and voice tone spoke with respect I guess is the most convincing.
• Ø  Also, try to give a real-life exam that includes you and that particular airline in a positive scenario but in one frame.

I have tried my best to answer all the possibilities. You can use the same pattern and design your answer to different companies. To find how to use the keywords and where to fit them exactly take help of the ABOUT US and Awards page of the company and read properly whatever is given. If you are asked this question at the beginning of the round you can give a 4 to 5 sentence answer and take your time but if it is asked at the last try to keep it short and simple.
