| Should I blabber about it? or make a kick-ass show and tell video? help me decide. |
I do get a lot of questions about my tips for people applying for QR these days.
I guess it is understandable because it is soon coming up on September 27,2014
.
I hope you guys understand that I get messages and sometimes it is hard to reply because of the tips that I want to share wont even fit in the reply box with allowance 1000 characters in it.
Also to type it again and again every time someone would ask, somewhere along the way some tips I would miss to give or forget something that I told someone else. It can be so unfair, right?
I mean, where do I even start?
For someone who have tried applying for this company for so many times I lost count, I guess I have tried every trick and tips in the book. (yes you could say it, I was kind of obsessed) and when I finally made it through the whole process and got the job, that was the time they decided to freeze hire and let go of all the people who are in the waiting list. (and I was one of them).
Yes I am crushed, but I have gathered so many info! I have so many things to tell! From the right mindset, the preparation, the day itself, the expectations one should have, how to dress, how to smile, how to answer the interview, etc. etc.
I would like to give a complete and detailed answer to this question and I already did. I also immortalized it so that anyone in any given time can have access to it.
That is the KAYKRIZZ INTERVIEW TIPS SERIES
This is for anyone asking for tips from me ,these articles are my way of passing my full knowledge and experience to you. Hopefully it can prepare you to what is about to come.
In each article I have thought of it a thousand times and try to present the ideas the easiest way to understand as possible. Thinking of my readers as myself when I was in the exact same situation that you are. Feeling lost, left in the dark not knowing what I was doing, I really did wish somebody had given me any advice on what to do on the interviews, someone who has already been there and experienced all the anxiousness, nerves and at the same time excitement of it all. I wish someone can coach me, tell what I was doing wrong, someone who knows if I even have what it takes and give me a morale boost and believe in me. That is what I hoped to achieve in my writings.
But it seems like these tips are not enough for you. (I know I should write more articles on the series T^T) Maybe you need a more info than what I have already written, or a tailored-fit advice specific for Qatar Airways Interview, or you just like to talk to me, help you boost your morale and so on.
So here is my dilemma:
Now that I am into making videos, This topic is definitely on the list of the so many things that I want to cover in my videos. (i love making videos now! #newhobby)
But I want to present it in a video that is fun to watch and interesting and awesome! (Because you guys deserve that---awww cheezeballs / cornyyy)
But I guess that will take too much time and might not reach you in time. Do you guys think I should create an emergency video and just talk for a good 30 minutes on the topic?
Because you know what, if that was me, I dont think I can sit to watching that kind of video... Just talking and talking and no editing/fun things added whatsoever.
The artist in me is saying, no way can I make a video that is just plain talking and talking, I have to do something to it at least, music, slide shows, something!
but the practical person in me is also saying, I do take a whole lot of time in my artistic projects and it may not even get to you (my readers / subscribers) in time...
So what to do?
Help me decide... should I make an emergency talking advice video on the whole subject? or should I stick to my original plan, create an awesome worthwhile video that would fully express what I want to tell you guys about the topic?
I would have a deadline for myself on this one, if I get any votes for the emergency video by the end of this week, September 19,2014 I would be making it on the weekend and have it uploaded by the 22nd of september. Monday.
Let me know what you guys think by commenting down below or tweeting to me on twitter @kaykrizz hashtag #kaykrizzdilemma with your answers so I can also find it..
Hope to hear from you guys soon!
Love you guys!!
Good night for now!

Hi po! I really love your blogs coz it's really helpful. Lalo na at dream ko din maging cabin crew. Anything po ok sakin,kahit plain video or creative one. Im really looking forward to watch that video ��
ReplyDeleteThanks for your feedback Lara! Are you going po sa QR open day this 27? I just got back from work and I am so happy someone replied to this blogpost..:)
Deletehi kaykrizz! for someone who encounters so much trouble playing vids online, i think it's best to just ink it here. i read your blogs here in the office (oops) so some sites are filtered. i heard QR has a very high turnover rate (ive read it here: http://www.cabincrew.com/forums/before-applying-for-qatar-airways/175463/1) so most prolly i wont consider the open day. any input on this? thanks much. :)
DeleteHi Sis,
DeleteYes I also hear a lot of stories like this, but i have friends and former batchmates who are now QR employees. I believe it really comes down to your dedication to your dreams and goals. Note for european people it is a lot harder for them to adjust because they are coming from a different culture, however for us filipinos, i find it that we adjust better. truly depends on the person. I got at least 10 people i know who are working for qatar. they are there for the travel (destinations) and for work (money). not really to have daily vacations. they follow the rules because they want to stay and the others who cant take following rules leave (those who leave i know personally are not filipinos) at least they tried checking it for themselves and decided its not for them. no more haunting questions of what ifs in their lifetime.
even just plain video will do, :)
DeleteHi kaykrizz! I was also planning to apply on sept27 od ng qr. im a guy btw, i was searching on the net ng blogs ng pinoy male fa's kaso wla ako mahanp. Lucky i bumped into ur site.. More power sa blog mo. Hope to see u on the od! Goodluck!
ReplyDeletethanks legolas!! I hope you get it!! I will not be attending the OD my dear, but may the force be with you! I love it when a guy reads my blogs. Honestly I never really thought a guy would read these so most of my posts I imagine talking to a girl.. :)
DeletePart ba ng training ng Qantas Airways ang swimming? Do they accept applicants with scoliosis?
ReplyDeleteIn any form I'm sure its going to be of great help to QR FA aspirants. Hope you could post it before the 27th. Glad I bumped into your blog. More power Kaykrizz!
