My World As A Flight Attendant

I love what I do, and I dedicate myself to perform another special role as a Recruiter. The company advertised to hire for Special Assignment Flight Attendant Recruiters in 2015. I applied because I would like to share and contribute my skills in this important role. My experience as an HR Specialist with the US Department of Veterans Affairs and as a Recruiter with a Jewish social service agency called FEGS were significant positions that I would like to continue doing. My first 3 recruitment events in New York and Atlanta were great events.  I am still learning the ropes and hopefully will be more confident and competent soon.  To determine if the applicant is best qualified for the job is a challenging role.  I would chose someone who has a great and proven customer service skills, and shows maturity that is a key to be a successful Flight Attendant. Almost 3 years ago, I was in the same situation applying for this job...

Her name is Abby, a lovely and smart girl travelling with her grandparents from Knoxville back home to Daytona Beach. It is always nice to meet girls whose dream is to become a flight attendant.  Her grandparents requested this photo with us of Abby because she loves to be a flight attendant. It was not my childhood dream to become a flight attendant, but it was my college dream.  I had no regrets with my long time career with the U.S. government.  I was glad that I chased my dream after all these years. Sometimes, our interests change overtime. We outgrow them or sometimes we just set them aside, until the right timing comes. It is never too late to pursue your dream. Whether it was a childhood dream or something that we recently build our interest into doing - go for it. Like Abby, we all have our childhood dreams.  Make them a reality!  

I think we all do.  When the company offered the Special Assignment Flight Attendant Inspire Mentor position, I knew that it is one of the things I would love to do. I expressed my interest and they selected me to be one of the mentors. I am grateful and honored. Our role is to successfully guide, support and counsel new flight attendants following completion of their initial operating experience, as well as other seasoned flight attendants who would want to benefit from mentorship. Our role is focused on the growth of flight attendants. To have a personal or professional mentor is always a good thing. John Maxwell says, "The most valuable thing you have to give is yourself. Find someone to pour your life into." When I started this job, I didn't want to involve with other positions that I was encouraged to do.  I told myself that I just want to be a regular flight attendant and be the best in what I do. But decisions change. ...
