NAU Graduate Narrates How She Went For Airline Job Interview Uninvited
A graduate of Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, recognized as Uche Anaekwe, has taken to LinkedIn to describe how she went for an interview she wasn’t invited for and later got the job with Dana Air.
Uche who took to the micro-blogging platform to share lovely photos of herself as a licensed cabin crew while appreciating some of her friends who have been helpful to her.
The lady wrote, “After I graduated from aviation school in July and got my cabin crew licence, I had no idea how I was going to get a job, I didn’t know anyone in the industry who would give me a leg up and although I knew I had all the qualifications, I didn’t know how to go about securing a job except submitting my CV to airlines and hoping for the best.
“In the last week of July, I decided to pack my bags and go to Lagos, I planned to go round airlines offices dropping my CV with them and praying that something clicks, mind you I had previously submitted my CV to Dana Air when they called for new cabin crew but I didn’t hear back from them and of course, I was devastated.
“Long story short, a good friend and fellow cabin crew aspirant I met here on LinkedIn who had also applied for the same role with Dana told me that she had been invited for their aptitude test, I was very happy for her but at the same time sad that I wasn’t called. She was kind enough to tell me the date of the test and where it will take place. Funny enough I was going to the airport that same day to submit my CV to other airlines.
“I took a bold and courageous leap of faith, went for an aptitude test I wasn’t invited for, and the rest they say is history.“They say that when opportunity meets preparedness, success is bound to happen.
“I’m forever grateful to Maryam Adeleke for being an amazing friend to me even when she didn’t have to. I’m also very thankful to Dana Air for using no prejudice and bias to recruit their new crew because I wouldn’t have had a chance otherwise.
“I thank God for making my dreams come true and starting me off on this amazing journey, I know there are better things to come and look forward to it,” she wrote.
