I got hired by US AIRWAYS! Omg I cant even begin to describe how happy and thrilled I am. I really was convinced I was going to bet through one round then go home. But here is the story :)
On January 15th my friend called and told me US airways was hiring for their Phoenix base. She had applied the day before and had received the call to schedule a face to face (F2F). She encouraged me to apply so I did. I finally received an email on January 20th to call them for a phone interview. I finally got to talk to a real person and not a machine on January 23rd. I passed and he schedule me for a F2F on January 30th.
So yesterday I woke up at 4:45 am to get ready. Anna was a sweetheart and picked me up and took me to the airport at 6. We finally made it, damn snow, and I ran to my gate, I was so worried I wouldn't make it but luckily I did!
Then once I got in to Phoenix I waited for a shuttle with a couple people. Once we got to the interview we met up with everyone else who had gotten in earlier. There were about 35 of us. We all went upstairs and sat through a presentation about the job. After that we went to the actual training facility proved we could fit in a Jumpseat and reach in to the overhead bin take out a AED and put it back. Easy easy! Then it was time for one on ones.
Because I am an "O" and they do it alphabetically so I had a while to sit. When they finally got to me I went back and sat down with the wonderful Megan. She asked me questions, and while I was answering them I was throwing in stories, to make her like me (think it worked!).
After all the one on ones were done they came in to the room and cut the 35 of us down to 21. We did a fun group activity in little groups of 4 and one group of 5 (the one i was in). After they cut us down again by about 5 people. Our group was the only one left fully intact! After that last cut, they came in and welcomed the rest of us to US AIRWAYS! holy shit! We were hugging everyone, from the other people hired to the recruiters. The first person I hugged was Megan. Without her, I would not have gotten through the one on one. She is the reason I got this far :).
We then had all the pre-hire paperwork to fill out, fingerprints, I9 and others. I also had to go get drug tested today.
I was then lucky enough to have my flight moved back and I got to go eat dinner with my lovely Joann. I miss her and cant wait to finally work with her again.
I still cant believe I got hired by a Main-Line. So amazing so lucky! out of 19,000 applicants they only need 190 Flight Attendants. Well motherfucker, I am one of those 190 now :) I cant believe it! Yey me.
To anyone out there who wants my secret of getting this job.... I was me. 100% I acted like I always do I spoke exactly like I do. No fakeness I didnt say what they wanted to hear, I said what I wanted to say.
And I never gave up this dream. I have had 4 interviews in the past 6 months and got 2 job offers.Nothing is impossible
So very proud of you bestie! And motherfucker, it's you! You did it! So happy!!
