Talk about learning social skills necessary to operate in the business world.
Don’t say you chose your school based on the best party school. You do not want to display poor decision making at this stage of the interview.
If you don’t know why you chose a particular school, research any ties it may have to the aviation or hospitality business and discuss those links.
SAMPLE ANSWER
'I chose ABC University because it has one of the oldest the most reputable Hotel and Hospitality Management degrees in the United States. During my studies I was able to complete an internship at XYZ Resort in Bahamas where I learned the practical aspects and extremely complex insights of running a hotel. For 3 months I worked at the front desk, housekeeping, food and beverage, guest relations and sales departments, giving me a glimpse on every detail that makes into a successful business. The school also organized a great job fare at the end of the year. That is where I learned about your airline.'

What is the most important thing you learned in school?
You should talk about the knowledge and skills gained through your education that are applicable to the cabin crew job and to your professional goals.
Do not give details on your grades or other personal aspects.
SAMPLE ANSWER
'The most important thing I learned is how to be organized and prepare in advance. At the end of each semester we had 6 exams to take. It was a lot of information to take in, and I learned that the earlier I started with the preparation for my exams, the more successful was the outcome and the lesser my stress levels.'

86. Why did you choose your major?
Stay positive and talk only about your accomplishments. If your major was not your first choice, do not mention that.
Keep your answer short and neutral.
Because the education requirement for cabin crew is high school only, this question might lead to the next question 'Your resume su.ests that you may be over-qualified or too experienced for this position. What is your opinion?'
SAMPLE ANSWER
'I chose my major because it provided me the skills and knowledge to successfully achieve my career goals.'
