  • So, if you either have an Emirates cabin crew interview coming up, or you are starting to

  • prepare for the assessment center in advance of the date you will receive, please do make

  • sure you watch this tutorial from beginning to end, because I promise you it will not

  • only teach you how to prepare fully, but it will make you the standout candidate! Pease

  • take notes, and as I say, watch it from beginning to end. In this Emirates cabin crew interview

  • training tutorial, I'm going to teach you how to prepare fully for the interview, how

  • to be the standout candidate, and there is a couple of things that define a standout

  • candidate, and I will talk about them as we progress through the tutorial. I will also

  • explain the main difference between those people whopreparefor the cabin crew

  • interview with Emirates, and those people who REALLY PREPARE. I'm going to give you

  • some great tips to help you get the most out of your preparation time, and I will also

  • disclose the likely Emirates cabin crew interview questions that will come up, and I will tell

  • you how to answer them now. I have spent about six-hours today creating unique answers to

  • the questions that I'm going to run through, during this tutorial. So I’ve put a lot

  • of time into them, and they will help you to structure your own. I will talk through

  • my answers and explain the reasons why I have chosen the words and phrases that I have done.

  • Now, before I do that, a very warm welcome to this Emirates cabin crew interview training

  • tutorial. My name is Richard McMunn. That's me there in the center. I've been helping

  • people for about 20 years now to pass their interviews. And I do that specifically by

  • giving you top scoring answers. I am a former Fire Officer of 17 years, and then I started

  • much appreciate your support if you gave the video a LIKE (thanks!) that always motivates

  • me to create more for you. Thank you very much. Let me run through a number of Emirates

  • cabin crew interview tips before I get into those all-important interview questions and

  • answers. So, tip number one. Remember to sell yourself at the Emirates cabin crew interview

  • and in particular, tell them the skills, the qualities, the attributes, the experience

  • that you possess that makes you the standout candidate. We need to think about the skills

  • that you have and whether you are very good at customer service, you are great with communication

  • skills, interpersonal skills, and also you have a thorough understanding of safety. But

  • we need to think about what makes YOU the standout candidate. Emirates, as you and I

  • know, are probably the best airline in the world. Therefore, competition is fierce and

  • they will choose the best candidates. They will choose the best people. So, we need to

  • think about what your USP is, yourUnique Selling Point’. What are you good at doing?

  • What can you bring, and this is important for the Emirates cabin crew team, what can

  • you bring to the team that is going to benefit them? So, we will talk about your good bits

  • during the answers, and we will also focus on the Emiratesteam’. That's really

  • important! Do take a note of thatwe don't want to be go into the interview and talking

  • solely about “I do this”, “I do that”, “I can bring this.” We want to talk about

  • the Emiratesteamand how you can benefit them in particular. Tip number three. Consider

  • carefully what impact being cabin crew will have on your life. So, of course, you know,

  • it's probably your dream to be cabin crew with Emirates and you really, really want

  • this. But, have you considered the impact on your life? The social impact and also the

  • physical impact. What impact will it have on you personally? So do think about that.

  • And I'm not trying to put you off in any way. I just think it's wise and it's very important

  • to think about the good parts, and also the challenging aspects of the role. So if the

  • cabin crew interview recruitment staff from Emirates say to you: Tell me what you expect

  • to be doing on a day-to-day basis in the role of cabin crew? And also: How do you think

  • it's going to impact you? Could you answer that question? Tip number four: provideevidential-based

  • answers to the Emirates cabin crew interview questions that warrant it. So, if they say

  • to you… “So, you are good at customer service? Can you give us an example in the

  • past of when you went above and beyond to help somebody else?” You need to give evidence-based

  • answers. I will teach you exactly how to do that during this tutorial, by using what's

  • called the STAR technique, and I will go through an example where you can give EVIDENCE of

  • where you already meet the key skills and qualities required to be cabin crew that will

  • help you to stand out, because if you are, you've already done those kinds of things.

  • (1) Great customer service. (2) Working in a safe environment. (3) Following rules and

  • procedures. (4) Taking good care of yourself. (5) Going above and beyond. And it's going

  • to help you. Tip number five: Obviously, service is absolutely paramount in the role of Emirates

  • cabin crew. So, I'm not just talking about, you know, ‘goodservice. I'm talking

  • aboutexceptional, stand outservice. You can fly with another airline and you will

  • probably get good service. Fly with Emirates, and it's a different standard altogether!

  • Think about times you have been in previously where you have provided really, really good

  • service. And also think about whatgood servicemeans to you. So, if they ask you

  • the question: What does customer service mean to you? Could you answer that question? Tip

  • number six. Now, obviously, SAFETY is the most important element of the cabin crew role

  • and being able to follow rules and procedures. It's really, really important, because primarily,

  • you are there for the safety of the passengers. So we want to make sure that safety features

  • heavily during your answers to the interview questions. A lot of people will just focus

  • purely on service, but they will leave out safety. But trust me, safety is very, very

  • important in this roleIt is crucial! Tip number seven: How would you deal with a difficult

  • passenger as an Emirates cabin crew? How would you deal with them? So, consider that carefully.

  • I will give you a suggested answer to that question: How would you deal with a difficult

  • past passenger, as we progress through this tutorial. Think about the process you would

  • go through if you came across a difficult passenger. What would you consider? Tip number

  • eight: You have to REALLY want to become Emirates cabin crew. If you don't, this is going to

  • come across at the interview. So we need to prepare you in respect of your answers to

  • the interview questions, but also how you say them. Okay. We have to make sure that

  • your answers are passionate and they are also genuine. Always remember this throughout the

  • selection process, you are applying to become part of the Emirates cabin crew TEAM. I've

  • already touched on this briefly, but we want to talk aboutthe teamin your answers.

  • So if you were dealing with a customer and providing great service, you could say: “I

  • was dealing with a customer and at all times I wanted to make sure that I gave great service,

  • because the organization has a strong brand. And I wanted to make sure that I helped out

  • the team. Whilst doing that, whilst dealing with a customer, I consulted my colleague,

  • to see whether they could come up with some other suggestions about how we could provide

  • exceptional service.” You're thinking about the team in everything that you do. As soon

  • as you turn up to the Emirates cabin crew assessment and the interview, remember that

  • you're being assessed. So think about how you interact with the other candidates there

  • and also what you say. You know, you have to be yourself. But think about this. The

  • recruitment staff might be walking past. They might come in, you know, see what you're up

  • to and how you're interacting with other people. Always be professional at all times, whether

  • you're on a break, whether you're in between assessments and even when you turn up to the

  • venue for the interview. When you're speaking to people, always be polite and remember,

  • have that at the forefront of your mind… ‘I am being assessed at all times.’ My

  • final Emirates cabin crew interview tip before we move on to the questions and answers: It's

  • not just what you say during the Emirates cabin crew interview, it is how you say it.

  • Make sure you give genuine, passionate responses to the interview questions. And this will

  • come across in how you say it, and your body language. And also, they will see it in your

  • eyes, OK, that probably sounds a little bit far-fetched, but they will see it in your

  • responses. We have to be genuine. And remember, the recruitment staff at Emirates have heard

  • it all before. They have heard all of the responses. So they are highly experienced

  • in being able to pick out those people who really mean what they are saying. Let me start

  • working through seven Emirates cabin crew interview questions and my suggested answers

  • to help you prepare. The first question is going to be: the TELL ME ABOUT YOURSELF? question.

  • So this is your opportunity to start off to build a little bit of confidence, to settle

  • down in the interview. But my advice is to use positive keywords and phrases in your

  • answer to this first Emirates cabin crew interview question. And I will give you some examples

  • of those in the second. Refer to your ability to provide exceptional service levels. Any

  • previous experience that you have that's applicable to the role. And above all, your knowledge

  • of the importance of safety. Here's my answer to this question. “I am someone who has

  • very high standards, takes great pride in my appearance and how I present myself, and

  • also my ability to work with others closely to achieve a team’s objectives. Over the

  • years, I believe I have gained plenty of applicable experience and transferable skills that will

  • benefit the team in my duties as Cabin Crew with the best airline in the world, Emirates.

  • I fully understand how important it is to provide consistently exceptional service,

  • to always follow the airline’s rules, procedures and strict safety standards, and to work hard

  • to be entirely representative of the strong Emirates brand that has been built up over

  • many years of hard work and dedication.” Second question of your Emirates cabin crew

  • interview. Why do you want to be cabin crew? Now, obviously, they will have heard all of

  • the usual answers before. “It's always been my dream.” You know… “I want to travel

  • the world.” But remember, being cabin crew with Emirates is about brilliant service,

  • great teamwork and also very high standards and safety. So make sure your answer is unique

  • to you and genuine. You have to really mean it. And remember, as I say, the Emirates recruitment

  • staff have heard literally hundreds of responses to this question before. So we want to give

  • them a good one, a genuine one that you really believe in. Here is my suggested answer to

  • the cabin crew interview question, why do you want to be cabin crew? “I have been

  • working for a long time now preparing myself for the position of Cabin Crew with Emirates.

  • This is the only airline I want to be Cabin Crew with, and it has been an ambition of

  • mine for many years. The main reason why I want to be Cabin Crew is simply because the

  • core skills and qualities needed to perform highly in this role, are a very close match

  • to my own natural abilities and skillset. I am someone who sets high standards, prefers

  • to work as part of a team with other like-minded people, and who really enjoys providing exceptional

  • service. I feel very comfortable serving other people and doing all I can to make their experience

  • the best it can be. I also much prefer to be someone who has both the responsibility

  • and accountability for tasks that other people don’t want to do. As Cabin Crew, there comes

  • a huge amount of responsibility, especially in respect of safety and quality service standards,

  • and I want to be part of the team who takes care of these important areas.” So, you

  • will notice that you are referring to the important aspects of being cabin crew, how

  • they are aligned to your own natural skill set. And more importantly, I've referred to

  • the wordteamquite often during that response, because I am aware as cabin crew,

  • you are working aspart of a teamand not just a team of cabin crew, but the whole

  • Emirates team. Everyone who works as part of the team to provide that great level of

  • service. Why Emirates? Why do you want to work for Emirates? So again, you have to provide

  • a genuine answer to this Emirates cabin crew interview question. Consider carefully what

  • the Emirates brand means to you. I know what it means to me and what it symbolizes, you

  • know, the BEST service in the world. But carry out some research yourself in respect of the

  • Emirates mission statement and what they are striving to achieve. You could go online and

  • search forEmirates mission statementand find out a little bit about them and what

  • they stand for. Here's a strong answer to this question: Why do you want to work for

  • Emirates? “I want to be Cabin Crew with Emirates for three specific reasons. The first
