Hiring Process for Airlines Industry

What Will I Be Asked in Interviews?

At the interview, you will be asked mainly behavioral questions that focus on your past actions. You should answer questions according to the S.T.A.R. technique:  

  • S: state the situation
  • T: explain your task(s)
  • A: describe the actions you took
  • R: summarize the result

Your interview may be one-on-one or it may be a group interview. Depending on the position to which you are applying, you may be asked technical questions. You may also have to participate in team exercises so that the interviewers can see how you act in a group.

Some tips for your airline interview:

  • Arrive early as it can take some time to pass through security.
  • Dress the part! If you are interviewing for a pilot or cabin crew position, you should wear a suit.
  • You may have to give a presentation during the interview. Practice your public speaking skills beforehand so that you feel comfortable speaking in front of others.

Check out our interview preparation materials, included in the Airline Bundle, for more tips.
