Λαμβάνοντας υπόψη τους εργαζόμενους που συνταξιοδοτούνται, εκπρόσωπος της Lufthansa ανακοίνωσε την δημιουργία αρκετών χιλιάδων νέων θέσεως εργασίας-αύξηση κατά περίπου 3000 εργαζομένων σε σχέση με πέρυσι όπου οι περισσότεροι από τους μισούς νέους υπαλλήλους θα είναι ιπτάμενο προσωπικό.

Η Lufthansa, κατέχοντας μις σειρά μικρότερων αεροπορικών εταιριών, αυξάνει το δικό της «μπλε και κίτρινο» στόλο με τα αεροσκάφη των Eurowings, Swiss Air, Austrian και Brussels Airlines όπου περίπου 2.500 εργαζόμενοι θα προσληφθούν στην Lufthansa, ενώ επίσης θα δημιουργηθούν και  2.700 θέσεις εργασίας στη Eurowings.

Η περαιτέρω ανάπτυξη των θυγατρικών εταιριών αποτελεί τον πυρήνα  ανάπτυξης της Lufthansa, καθώς ο διευθύνων σύμβουλος Carsten Spohr επιδιώκει με αυτό τον τρόπο να αντιμετωπίσει τις ανταγωνίστριες εταιρίες χαμηλού κόστους όπως την Ryanair της Ιρλανδίας ή την Easyjet της Μεγάλης Βρετανίας.

Το 2017, η Lufthansa πραγματοποίησε 11 συνεντεύξεις σε διάφορες πόλεις σε ολόκληρη τη Γερμανία – η αεροπορική εταιρεία δήλωσε ότι περίπου 4.500 υποψήφιοι πήραν μέρος σε αυτές τις συνεντεύξεις και πολλοί από αυτούς επέτυχαν να προσληφθούν ακόμα και την ίδια μέρα.

Και για όσους από εσάς πιστεύετε ότι η ηλικία είναι ένα εμπόδιο στην εκπλήρωση του ονείρου σας στο να γίνετε πλήρωμα καμπίνας, σας έχουμε μερικά πραγματικά ενθαρρυντικά νέα. Η Adriana Werner  ετών 50 ήταν μέσα στα άτομα που προσελήφθησαν πέρυσι σε μια συνέντευξη της Lufthansa.

1. Not Smiling and Other Facial Expressions

Why so serious?  Come on, we know you’re nervous but at least crack a smile.  Have some fun and enjoy the day.  Interact with everyone around you and let your personality shine through.  The recruiters are looking for candidates with a natural charm and relaxed happy personality. That doesn’t mean wearing a smile on your face like a clown.  A false smile is all too easy to spot and it’s not going to get you anywhere.  It has to be natural and relaxed. At the same time, be aware of other facial expressions you might subconsciously pull throughout the day.  Yes – you really are being watched by the recruiters the whole day – consciously think about what facial expressions you’re making and how they might be interpreted.

2. Saying Too Little

This is not a time to be a shrinking violet – the Assessment Day is the best opportunity that recruiters have to judge your skills and personality.  They can’t-do that unless you get stuck in and actively participate in every element of the day. That starts the very moment you enter the venue.  The ability to make light, informal conversation with everyone you meet is so vitally important for cabin crew. Actively engage with the other candidates, ask a question during the presentations, find opportunities to engage during the assessments.

3. Or For That Matter – Saying Too Much

That being said – this is not a one (wo)man show.  You are not the only candidate and hogging every opportunity to speak is going to make you look like a diva. Be self-aware and identify the right opportunities to speak.  Give others the chance to convey their opinions and thoughts.  If you ask a question, please take the time to actually listen to the answer. Again, this is all about being self-aware.  When you’re consciously thinking about your performance you’ll be able to identify the time when it comes to shut up and let other candidates have their moment.

4. Not Displaying Empathy

It’s one of the most important qualities that cabin crew recruiters are looking for in candidates.  But so many times, candidates are wrapped up in their own self-interests.  Try not to think of the other people at the Assessment Day as your competitors – only judge your performance against yourself. This comes back to listening to other candidates and the recruiters.  Make the recruiters like you by displaying warmth and genuine interest.

5. Failing To Look The Part

Recruiters judge candidates on their appearance.  Fact.  So if you’re going to be judged on what you look like, make sure the recruiter is left with a good impression.  This isn’t about beauty but the personal presentation. We’ve written extensively about what to wear at an Assessment Day and it’s still good advice.  That’s not to say that you can’t turn up without making an effort and be successful but why take the risk? Oh, on the flip side – wearing something outlandish to make you ‘stand out’ might seem a good idea at the time but you also run the risk of looking like a diva again.  It’s down to personal preference but we’ve always found classic suiting to work the best.

6. Bad Manners – And Even Worse Timekeeping

How you act around your friends or family is probably going to be very different to how you’re expected to act at a cabin crew Assessment Day.  This is the time to present the very best, politest version of you.  Avoid, avoid, avoid the following:

• Applying makeup or spraying perfume in public
• Chewing gum
• Yawning
• Using your mobile phone – just don’t, turn it off and put it away
• Shouting or using any kind of profanity or curse
• Smoking – If you are a smoker, just wait until the end of the day.

This is a formal occasion so use formal, polite language.  Oh, and whatever you do don’t turn up late.  Not just at the start of the day but after any breaks as well.  It will be the kiss of death to your chances of success.

7. Not Listening

You are going to be told a lot of information during the Assessment Day.  Some of the presentations can go on for a long time and each assessment will have specific instructions that you must follow. It’s a lot to take in but whatever you do, stay engaged and listen carefully to everything that is being said.  It looks really bad if you don’t follow the recruiter’s instructions because you failed to listen to what they were actually saying. On this point, make sure you look like you’re paying attention as well.  Yawning and a glazed over expression will be easily spotted and is not a good look.  Finally, wait until the recruiter has completely finished speaking before you move or start doing something.  I know it sounds obvious but you’d be really surprised!

8. Failing To Prepare

Kudos to the people who can rock up at an Assessment Day without doing any preparation and sail through the process.  For the rest of us, winging it is not an option. I don’t know about you but even having done this on so many occasions now I couldn’t just walk into a Final Interview and give good responses without first preparing for the types of questions that might be asked. This doesn’t mean rehearsing every single thing you’re going to say but instead thinking about what experience and skills you have.  Know what examples you have from your past jobs.  Research the airline in question and be aware of what they are looking for in their cabin crew. All this information is freely available on the internet (including this site) so there really isn’t any excuse.  You’ll normally have plenty of time between being invited to the Assessment Day and the actual event so don’t leave the preparation to the last minute.

9. Being Too Quick

The cabin crew Assessment Day is a marathon, not a sprint.  You can’t just rush into the venue and try to tick all the boxes in five minutes.  You have to maintain your performance the entire day and look for the right opportunities. I’ve seen this all too often and it’s this need to rush where many of the other mistakes come in.  You start talking too much because you want to make yourself heard.  You flit between candidates, failing to listen to anyone because you want to seem popular.  You display boredom during the presentation because you’re so keen to get on with the actual assessments. Just relax and strap yourself in for the long haul.  There will be plenty of opportunities to shine.
