InterviewI applied through an employee referral The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at British Airways in Mar 2022
I would say everything up until my 1-1 interview was warm welcoming and gave a great impression of the company. Unfortunately my 1-1 interview I was spoken over, interrupted immediately upon answering any question. I use the STAR method and was explaining the situation to which I would be interrupted and asked to give a specific example to then again be asked to clarify the situation as the interviewer didn't understand the context or situation. One question I had said 5 words and was interrupted. I have never in my professional career had such a demoralising and negative interview. I understand a lot of people do apply for the roles at British Airways but I do believe there could be an improvement in creating a more supportive interview process that really shows why it's a great company to work for. An interview is for both the candidate and the employer and after this experience I wouldn't have went further with the company regardless of the outcome.

The recruitment process is genuinely looking to understand what you're like as a person and whether you align to the companies brand. Remember that your role as Cabin Crew is primarily for people's safety, while also contributing to an exceptional customer experience. They're looking to ensure you can demonstrate safer working practices and follow policies and procedures, but that you're personable and adaptable as well to ensure you can solve problems on the fly (pun intended).

InterviewI applied in-person. I interviewed at British Airways (Crawley, England) in Feb 2022
It is very difficult for just £15k a year offer It’s just not right and oh! There’s favouritism too! You’ll get the job if your mom of family works for them which is VERY UNFAIR for young aspirants

Application
InterviewI applied online. I interviewed at British Airways (London, England) in Dec 2021
First time they called and asked if I had 5 min to talk and I confirmed. This was the actual interview and it lasted much longer. Obviously it was meant to throw me off my feet so they can see how I would respond. I was under impression that the person who called me was frustrated and I was not sure why. Second time they called ( it was a different job reference) , I was not next to the phone and called back immediately. I spoke to someone and they said the person who called will call me back- they never did. I find this very unprofessional and if this is the sign how they see and run their business, I am glad that I am not a part of this company.
Interview Questions
- challenging substations, when i worked as a part of a team, etc.
