Another Try

I just came from an impact interview with PAL. I applied last January 16 via online. Wednesday last week, I received a text message from PAL asking me to call them regarding the Flight Attendant Vacancy. At first, I was really hesitant to call them because I knew how strict they were and that almost everyone who applied to them always get the "we regret to inform you" letter. Nevertheless, after a day of thinking about it, I decided to give them a call. By the way, PAL usually calls applicants, I guess, it was different in my case because I live outside the Metro so they wanted me to call them.

I was able to talked to Ms. A (initial only), she asked me some questions like my height, vision, age, civil status, if I finished a four year course and some other basic things about me. She told me I was scheduled for an interview on February 2, (that's today) 1 PM at the PNB Building in Macapagal Avenue. Ms. A advised me that I should wear a short polo inside, so I decided to buy a new one that would look good in my beige suit. Luckily, I was able to found a black blouse at Karimadon.

IMPACT INTERVIEW

I arrived past 12 noon. I was able to meet three girls, Kring, RB and Jen. We waited in a room because they were still having their lunch break when we got there. We were able to talk to a guy (I forgot his name) who already passed the impact interview. He was scheduled at 8 am and he was waiting for the results of his pre-medicals. He said they were 17 but only 4 got in. At the back of my mind, I thought it was a big number already, because PAL usually hires 1  or 2 during the impact interview. He advised us not to be nervous. Just stay calm and always smile.

Upon entering the room, we filled up a form, the same form we filled up and emailed to them. Before the impact interview started, Ms A.G. did a briefing on what we should do for the interview,  the roles of a cabin crew, their standards, the training,  the basic requirements that should be met, and the salary you would get once you're hired.

What to DO?
We were given 2 minutes to talk anything. You could say anything within that given time.
What's NEXT?
You would be advised to walk a few rows away from them. Your arms, skin, legs, elbows would be checked.
The VERDICT:
The result, positive or not would be contained in a small piece of paper. Once your name was called, you have to get your things, get that small piece of paper and read it, if you passed, you had to stay for the pre medicals.

Just like the majority, I DIDN'T PASS PAL. I was unsure if how many passed. All I knew that no girl made it. I wasn't really sure if how many guys made it because the applicants who were called after me left PNB Building after the interview.

I knew I did my best, but I knew God has prepared something bigger and better for me.  Before I leave our house, I told God, "Whatever the result would be, I should trust YOU. Passed or Failed I knew it would always be your will."  I didn't really have my heart bruised for what happened. I trust God and I knew that this recent failure would not be here to make me weak, or to make me think that I did not deserve to earn my wings and be a flight attendant, I WAS SURE, GOD PREPARED SOMETHING BIGGER AND I JUST HAVE TO WAIT AND TRUST HIM.
