In a cabin crew interview, whats a good answer?

Question

To the "whats your biggest weakness?" question.Any more interview tips? its for a cabin crew position.

Answer 1

Your biggest weakness should be something to do with the job they are offering. For instance - if you are going to be dealing with the public then saying 'I'm a bit too friendly - or too chatty or too helpful won't go amiss. Better to be a bit over the top in an area you are going to work in rather than give them something derogatory about yourself like 'I can't seem to get out of bed in the morning'. Interview tips? Smile at them when you say hello, but don't have a soppy grin on your face all the time. You've got to be positive and not wimpy. Remember that this interview is as much for you as it is for them. You want to know that the job is right for you and it may not be. Don't go in worrying that they won't like you or want you or you're not as good as the other people in the waiting room. That'll finish you before you start. You should be aware that you might not like them or what they are offering. YOU are interviewing THEM. Don't sit there looking dumb and saying 'Yes' to every suggestion they throw at you either. That looks too needy and who wants a clinging vine? Ask a few sensible questions of your own - not just 'what's the pay like?' or 'how much holiday is there?' Make yourself a list of exactly what you want to know about the job on offer before you go to the interview. If they're any good at their jobs they should be able to cover everything on your list. If they do, expand on something they've told you. If they don't - ask a question. It makes you look confident in your own abilities. Main thing...Don't be scared. They may be more scared than you are.

Answer 2

"What's Your Biggest Weakness?"

What are you supposed to do -- tell them why they SHOULDN'T hire you? So you can answer the question like this below.

"Once in a while, I focus too much on the details of a project. So now, when I'm working on a project, I always make sure at the end of the day to sit back and take a few minutes to think about the general scope of my work. It forces me to keep priorities straight and helps me keep the right mindset."

"I used to have some problems with organization. So now I carry a schedule book around throughout the day and I also use this Palm Pilot to keep me on track. It's worked out great!"

Over the years I have collected many questions and the proper answers for interview questions. I would suggest you start doing the same. Write down the questions you will be ask and then write the answers. Study the answers so during the interview you can give the answer with confidence knowing you know the correct answer.

Before the interview you should have considered WHAT you want to communicate and HOW you are going to communicate. What you want to communicate are: personal qualities, functional skills, and special areas of knowledge that relate to the particular interviewer or organization, as well as your interest in the specific organization and job. How you communicate those personal attributes and background facts is indicated by your attitude and non-verbal behaviors as well as your verbal responses.

Your first task will be to help build rapport with the interviewer(s). The characteristics of building rapport involve your (1) attitude, (2) non-verbal behaviors and (3) verbal behaviors.

Be ready to ask questions from your prepared list. Techniques for asking good questions begin with the use of who, what, when, where, why, and how. Questions should be developed ahead of time and should reflect the amount of research you have done rather than your lack of research.

Salary questions are usually inappropriate in the first interview but, in case the employer brings up salary, you should research the salary range for the job/field ahead of time, consider how much the job is worth to you, and recognize that the pay raise structure of the organization is just as important as the entry level rate in assessing an offer.

At the end of the interview set parameters for the next contact.
·"When may I expect to hear from you?"
·"What is the next step?"
·Tell the interviewer that your interest in the job has been confirmed by the interview, if that is the case. Don’t assume the employer knows you want this position! Your expressions of interest can be very powerful.

Wish you well.
