Here are some other important aspects to consider:
1. Body Language
The little signals that we unconsciously send to the people we interact with show exactly what we feel at that certain time. We can decode somebody’s body language better than anything else, so it will pay off to be aware of 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 the questions.
Vary your tone and pitch.
Smile and nod at appropriate times, but don’t overdo it.
Don’t 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.
2. Questions and Answers Session
Stay Relevant
You really have to listen to the question and provide a concise answer. Always stick to the question you were asked. Don’t stray away from the discussion and move to irrelevant and unrelated topics.
Provide Examples
You can say you can do something, or you can give examples of things you have done. Prepare in advance some examples and answer the questions in specifics not in generalities. You can say ‘Yes, I have done that before. Here is an example of a time I did that… Did this answer your question?’
Be Honest
Dancing around a difficult interview question is not the best approach. If you don’t have a skill, just tell the interviewer and don’t try to cover it up by giving examples that are not relevant. Even if you don’t have that particular skill, you might have some related skills and you can discuss them further if the interviewer wants to hear more.
3. Your turn to ask questions
When the interviewer asks you if you have any questions for them, don’t be silent. Prepare in advance couple of topics or ask any questions that may have resulted from the information exchanged during the interview.
This may be your only chance to receive feedback, so one of the best things you can do is to ask the interviewer “How do you think I performed today?”
By asking relevant questions you show you enthusiasm and interest in the company and in the recruitment process.
4. What’s the next step
Unless it has been clearly explained before the cabin crew final interview, you need to know exactly what happens next in the hiring process. Try to establish the time frame for a hiring decision to be made and who you should get in touch with to follow up the status of your application. Should you phone or email? Clarifying this information not only lets you know what is happening but also shows the interviewer that you are professional and organized.
5. Thank the interviewer
Sincerely thank the interviewer for the time spent with you. Give a firm handshake and make eye contact when doing this
