I got a call a week ago from Delta Airlines to interview for their Flight Attendant position. If I was good enough for a second interview, they would fly me to Atlanta. Well I figured with all my experience, I would be a shoo-in. Not only do I have a Bachelor of Arts degree, I ALSO have over 4 years experience as a Facilitator Tour Guide at a world famous museum, and performed for Disney Cruise Lines. I have a **** ton of experience working with the public. And on the latter, I was professionally trained in safety, and even earned a certificate.
The lady who interviewed me on the phone appeared unimpressed as I rattled off these accomplishments, and remained poker toned. I was then asked numerous questions about how I would react in certain situations. One of the questions was "What do you do if a guest asks to go to the bathroom but the pilot has the fasten seat belt lit?" I simply said "Well I would calmly tell them they couldn't due to safety regulations, but if they needed further assistance I would see what I could do." Like, WHAT THE **** else was I suppose to say? When asked about how I handled safety in my past job, I glorified the response with how I was a Traffic Controller aboard the now 5th biggest Cruise Ship in the world (Disney Dream), and had to escort guests to their lifeboats.
Apparently this just wasn't good enough for lame Delta Airlines, because three days later I got an email telling me unfortunately I did not pass the interview and they had no position for me at this time. Bullshit! Something is up? Can someone please tell me what I did wrong or if my resume just wasn't doing it? Are they expecting people with Masters Degrees and more then 10 years customer experience? I mean I've been working with the public since I was 18- and I'm almost 29 now. What gives?
Also there's nothing wrong with being confident in an interview! People keep saying I came off arrogant. Really? Confidence is a bad thing now? Its ridiculous how hypocritical people are now a days with everything I say or do!Why did Delta Airlines NOT Hire Me When I'm So Qualified?
Reading your post (and especially your AD), I think it quite likely you came off arrogant (pleasing? somehow I doubt it, based on how you seem to go off on those you disagree with.) If by 'hypocritical', you meant 'hypercritical', then maybe you need to take a step back and just consider the possibility everyone else is right and you're wrong...
too long to read! WHY do people post their life stories on this section? it's called POLL and SURVEY!!!Why did Delta Airlines NOT Hire Me When I'm So Qualified?
huh?
READING YOUR RANT ... IT IS SO VERY APPARENT WHY YOU WERE NOT HIRED ... YOU ARE NOT EXUDING CONFIDENCE YOU ARE BEING AN ARROGANT KNOW IT ALL PAIN IN THE RUMP ... THE INTERVIEWER COULD NOT FINISH WITH YOU FAST ENOUGH .... IF YOU KEEP UP THAT ATTITUDE ... YOU WILL REMIAN UNEMPLOYED ... WHY DID U LEAVE THE OTHER JOBS .... THAT WOULD BE AN INTERESTING DATA POINT ....
