Personal Questions: why do i want to work for delta
I’m a people person, favorite parts of my job as a teacher was working with a variety of people. My goal was always been to build bridges with the community, love the diversity that I was honored to teach, think this will translate perfectly to the culture of delta which honors and celebrates diversity. Then on a larger I wanted my students to love school, feel safe, translate to customer service. passengers to love the experience, if I can enhance the experience or bring it about then I’ve done my job.
met a woman who has worked for delta for a long time and she loves it, thought i would be a perfect candidate.
my best quality for being a flight attendant
one of reason why I was successful as a teacher is that I’m innately kind, I want to be helpful, I want to see people succeed, I’m fair, honest, enthusiastic, I want everyone to have a positive and enjoyable experience-
surveying a scene and understanding what my students/or customers will need next without have=ing to be asked
Additionally, Im a good listener. People just want to be heard, want their concerns honored. I would encourage the parents in my classroom to voice their concerns first so that I make sure to address them. Once their concerns were addressed we could move on together as a team in a positive direction.
negative traits
I’m creative and imaginative, sounds positive but I look for new ways to do things … but a new approach isn’t always the best, don’t have to always reinvent the wheel.
what can you bring to the company
My years of teaching have, and before that customer service as a server. involved predicting needs and filling those before they have to ask. I believe, truly trained me for the flight attendant position. I’m kind, patient, empathetic, understanding, I can handle large groups of people, and I can tap dance.
what do i forsee as challenges as a FA
I understand that the challenges could be real emergencies, different time zones, difficult passengers, waiting in airports, dealing with delays, missing family events…. but I’ve dealt with similar challenges as a teacher, always had to create a safe environment, CPR trained,
allay fears, and certainly had to be flexible and things changed at a moments notice. adapt to changes. I taught in Turkey and Germany, so change and adapting are challenges that I enjoy!
would I relocate?
Yes, my children are grown and while they currently live in the bay area, they could easily move, plus they travel a lot, I might be able to see them more! I’ve lived in Turkey, Germany, I have an apartment in the bay area, I love change. Getting home is just a flight away, and the time off will give me family time.
Situational Based Questions
Describe a time when you went above and beyond.
using the star approach: situation, task, action, results
I’ve had difficult children in the classroom over the years- disruptive, disturbing others
create an environment where child feels safe, heard, and
enhances the learning environment and is successful
in this one case, I asked for permission to take the child home, spoke with the mother, asked how we could work together so the Charlie would have a successful year, created a daily report system.
Charlie was successful, he loved 4th grade, every year returned with Shari berries. no one had truly demonstrated they were interested enough to encourage him to be successful.
as a teacher I felt I was a public servant, always wanted
to created a successful environment- this can easily translate to customer service.
How do i deal with a difficult coworker
I would listen, be diplomatic, encourage importance of teamwork, discuss the goal for all, compromise
