As a recruiter, I would advise potential candidates to focus on showcasing their unique strengths and experiences authentically. Tailoring resumes to highlight relevant skills and accomplishments is crucial, as is researching the company and role thoroughly to demonstrate genuine interest and alignment. Additionally, I encourage candidates to leverage networking opportunities and reach out to professionals in their desired field for advice and support. During interviews, it's essential to articulate one's passion for the role, ask thoughtful questions, and demonstrate a growth mindset by being open to feedback and learning opportunities. Lastly, maintaining a positive attitude and perseverance in the face of challenges can make a significant difference in the job search journey.

Always keep an open-mind when making decisions, some of my best career moments have happened after I said yes to something that I wanted to say no to, being outside of your comfort zone is when you will learn the most! Create goals to ensure you have things to aspire and work towards, this will keep you on the right path and motivated. Prior to making big decisions, do your research, ask questions and don't worry if you don't understand something the first time - resilience is they key to success.

I always say to my students at school ‘never be afraid to fail’. It’s only through failure that we learn how to succeed. Not everyone who applies to BA is successful the first time around. That’s OK. Just don’t give up and make sure you learn what you need to do differently next time. BA Cabin Crew come from all walks of life and all ages. If it’s something you’re really interested in then go for it, even if you think it’s way out your comfort zone or unlike anything you’ve done previously. Remember: to most people, the sky is the limit. To those who love aviation, the sky is home.

Don't give up! You will face several challenges along the way, and you might have to settle at one point in your career with something that isn't really fulfilling to you. Learn from your experiences, and let them be a fuel for change. Believe in yourself and never let the willingness to follow your passion die. Take risks even if it means leaving the comfort zone and the security buffer. And most importantly, surround yourself with positive people, who will believe in you, see your potential and encourage you to jump into the unknown when you feel scared to do it. The reward is big, trust me!
