After being away from home for over 6 weeks it’d given me time to think about what I really wanted to do, some many times Iv met people who always say ‘i wish id done this’ or ‘i wish i hadnt waited so late’ so I made it my mission to make sure I go get my dreams, im not going to sit around and wait for it to happen! This year had been bad for me, Id just come back from my USA trip with a broken heart, I felt Id lost a part of me, I knew it wasnt the real me. Now it was time to rediscover the joy of life and to follow my dreams and to move on and find new experiences. Hell I was scared but If I dont do it now.. maybe I never will and I dont want my chance to vanish so I say goodbye to the people I know and love and prepare myself for the biggest thing thats ever happened to me.
I applied to be cabin crew for several airlines, Monarch sends me an application form and I spend my day off from work filling it all out and send it back that evening, its a Thursday. Monday at work I receive a phone call offering me an interview on Saturday! omg im so excited! So the Saturday I get up at 6.30am and Mum drives me to Gatwick airport and quickly find my interview place, theres 10 other candidates there, they all seem friendly, one girl is a bit strange, shes from London but was born in Africa and every 2 minutes asks me if I watch Eastenders.. haha
So they split us up into 2 groups and I have to have my interview first out of everyone! doh! it goes ok i think although im shaking a little from nerves. I curse myself for forgetting some key info about the company. After we have all had our interviews we all have a break and then regroup and have a test, which i know iv done well on as id researched a lot and then we have another interview where i felt i really excelled, the 2 interviewers were so nice and i made them laugh several times i seriously kept apologising for making them laugh which made them laugh even more haha, maintained eye contact, smiled lots, had good posture and expressed my enthusiasm. The day finishes about 4pm, i get a National Express to London Victoria and get the coach back to Dover late… im quietly confident
