I have something exciting to share! Recently, some of my students went through the Etihad Airways pre-selection, and they told me all about it. Today I want to pass their experience on to you, because when you know what to expect, you can walk in with confidence. After you apply and your CV catches the recruiters' attention, you'll be invited to an online pre-selection. This is your first chance to shine, so let's get you ready! HOW IT WORKS 1. You join a video meeting through a link, together with other candidates (around 100 in one session). 2. The recruiters join and explain the whole process. 3. Candidates are taken in smaller groups of about 10. 4. You may be asked to take off your jacket, step back so you are visible from head to toe, and say your full name. 5. You sit down and answer one question when your name is called. Everyone in the group gets the same question. 6. Within about two weeks, you'll hear whether you're invited to the next stage. QUESTIONS MY STUDENTS WERE ASKED - What is your name and where are you from? - What was one of the hardest challenges you have had, how did you handle it, and how did it inspire you to try something new? - Tell me about a time you went through a change or a difficult situation, and what you learned that will help you as cabin crew. 💜 MY TIPS FOR YOU - Prepare one strong story and practise it out loud until it feels natural. - Answer every part of the question, using a clear structure: situation, action, result. - Keep your answer to about 60 seconds and connect it to the cabin crew role. - Wear full business attire. You'll find my dress code guidelines here in the community. - Use good light, a plain background, and leave space to step back from the camera. - Smile, and keep smiling while others are speaking. Recruiters can see everyone, and warmth always shines through. And here's the best part: my students said the recruiters were genuinely kind, and the session wasn't scary at all. They're looking for warm, genuine people who love caring for others. That could absolutely be any one of you!

Hey Future Cabin Crew, Qatar is hiring right now, and it's opening some incredible doors for cabin crew. But over and over, in our sessions, I watch candidates talk themselves out of applying. Not because of anything real. Not because of their experience, their English, their look. But because of a stranger's experience... When I ask my students why they don't want to apply, I hear the same thing almost every time: "I heard the environment at Qatar is toxic." And when I ask, "Who told you that?" it's always someone from TikTok, or from a Facebook group. Here's what I've learned after years of working in aviation, and knowing people who actually fly for different airlines right now: EVERY airline in the world, including the ones you'd never hesitate to apply to, has people who loved it there and people who didn't. So let me ask you honestly: why are you building your future on someone else's story? Why let a stranger's bad day, or a bad take made for views, decide what YOUR opportunity could look like? Why not just try, and find out for yourself? Let me tell you about one of my students, Sophia. ​ Sophia came to me wanting Etihad. That was her dream. But while we were preparing together, Qatar happened to be hiring too. So I told her, why not open that door as well? It wasn't her first choice, but she applied anyway, and before she was even invited to the next stage with Etihad, she already had an offer letter from Qatar. Here's the timeline she shared with me few months after our session: - 17 May - Qatar Open Day - 19 May - Blue background photo requested - 1 June - Full-face photos requested - 11 June - Offer letter - 12 June - Background check - 21 June - Travel to Doha confirmed - 22 August - Date of joining Less than four weeks from Open Day to offer letter. Here’s what she told me later: “I feel very satisfied and surprised by how much my life changed in just six months, as it was never part of my original life plan. This experience strengthened one important belief for me: there are many different possibilities in life. Understanding yourself, trusting yourself, and acting in alignment with who you truly are can lead to an unexpected future.”
