First-timer at airline recruitment event?

Always wear a conservative, classic suit to interviews .. jacket, skirt and blouse. Classic colors are black, navy and gray with white, collared, long sleeve blouses in a good material (not see through, low cut, or clingy; a crisp looking cotton blouse is a good choice). Your skirt should go to the knee (not too short, long or tight) and if there's a slit in the hem, be sure it's not too high.

Select stockings that have some spandex in the legs (10-15%); plain nylons look squishy, and choose the nude if it matches your skin color. Wear a closed toe pump that matches with your suit with a 1-2" heel; be sure they're free of wear (check heels) and dirt. If you're carrying a purse, it should be neat, conservative, and match your suit; otherwise, don't take it to the interview.

Keep jewelry to a minimum (a conservative watch is enough). If you wear earrings, only wear one on each ear, and be sure they're small and not dangly or blingy. Hair should be neat and conservatively styled (if you need long hair to look neater, pull it up or back using plain bobby pins for up or conservative, plain barrette for back). Your nails should not be too long, and wear either clear polish or a subtle color. Keep make up minimal and not shiny, bright, or harsh looking. Don't wear cologne; clean and fresh is how you should smell for interviews (be careful of heavy hairspray smells).

Print your resume on good plain, white paper (not copy paper). If you have references, print those on the same paper on a separate sheet. Take a minimum of 4 copies of both with you. You can put the extras in a plain manila folder to carry. Bring your own good pen with black or blue ink.

Take a full length color photo of you dressed as you'd be in the interview, and smile. You should only need one, but you might want to carry extras that include a headshot (from shoulders up).

Arrive early ... 10-15 minutes.

Be sure to smile and be friendly to everyone and not loud when you speak. Don't talk too much, but don't be too timid. Talk professionally without using poor English or slang. Listen good to the interviewer/s and any instructions and information given. Remember to turn off your cell phone before going in.

Check the requirements closely before you go for the interview. You'll be fine. Good interviewers know that candidates are nervous. Let the interviewer take the lead. If they ask you to tell them something about yourself and your experience, highlight any experience you've had that concentrates on customer service and let them know that you like working with people and that you'll be happy working odd and changing schedules. Remember not to ask about money or benefits. They'll talk about all that if/when you're offered a job.
