Prepare yourself for a long day!
Seriously I spent over 13 hours at this process.
PLEASE read a thousand times if necessary your invitation email, use a business attire, dress like a flight Attendant, have a professional hair cut, got to have a passport (or else you would not be able to continue), have a copy of all your documents that they previously ask and from your invitation.
I got 30 minutes late so I was one of the last to be attend. Lucky I was able to continue due the huge line with over 400 applicants going across the hotel...
once you're in the building, they ask for all the following documents while you're in line, if you don't have a passport, you're cut!
This airline's process is really different from other airlines I've ever done (United and American).
I didn't felt "lucky" to be there and for having a invitation, because there was all types of people you can imagine.
Also, when I got the invitation by mail I got four at once, so I guess they sent it to all applicants with no filter.
After the pre-check at the line, you'll have your documents rechecked, then you'll be asked for preference base assignment (they will tell you the ones available at that moment), you'll have name tagged, a number and a color group.
They start the day with the president (I guess) talking about the company's values, they introduce all the flight attendants and employees present (recruiters) and explain how is a flight attendant lifestyle.
After that they'll split you into color groups and will assign a room where your group will begin the interviews.
In the room you are welcome to sit whatever table you want.
Remember: be friendly and get to know your colleagues, don't be over friendly. A lot of people were being too over and believe me, it was kinda boring to see that...
The recruiters are always watching and taking notes so just be yourself, show that you're excited, happy, never forget to smile, yes yes yes smile a lot (it's free).
When your group is called you'll make a line, you'll have to go to the middle of the room, select a card with a questions and answer it.
Be quick, use the STAR method, don't take FOREVER to think/answer, don't overthink just answer... be prepared for the unexpected...
After that you'll have a break of a hour, eat because your day might be longer.
At the time they determined, you and all the applicants will go back to the main room where you started your day.
Be prepared to wait.
Me and others applicants waited over five hours, yes five hours to have our number and name called. During that time you're doing absolutely nothing, just watching over and over again an old CNN news about Spirits new brand and interacting with others. Yeap it's really exhausting.
(You can be lucky 🍀 to be the first ones to be called too)
When you're finally called it's for your F2F interview. (Two recruiters and you)
It's really intimidating, specially if you don't have experience in this industry and/or with sales.
Questions they ask at the F2F:
*Why Spirit?
*Why you want to be a flight Attendant?
*What can you bring to the position?
*Are you willing to relocate?
*What would you do if in your first fly you see a flight Attendant being rude to a customer?
*what would you do if a customer complains that "water isn't free and he refuses to pay because he wasn't warned before"?
After that you will wait in another room, there you will be waiting to know if you succeed it or not. If they called your name out first, that's a TBNT.
The rest in the room will be asked to go to another room, fill out paperwork, get fingerprinted, take your badge photo (make sure you'll look good because that's your badge photo) and make your drug test.
Then your day is done.
It's a very long process, be positive and even if you don't get a offer you are told everything about flight Attendant lifestyle, schedule and all those info that the other airlines don't provide before training.
I got a job offer and my class starts soon.
Hope I could help you guys!
Good luck!!!!🍀👍
Tips:
Get really early (that way your day will end sooner)
