Chapter 21 Flight Attendant Rejection
Kendra back in her conscious mind still lying on her bed looking at the ceiling for a long time then when she turned her head at
the wall clock. " Oh my God, I forgot that today is the Job hiring for Flight Attend. I must be in a hurry and dress up well." Kendra
excitedly said to herself. She rushingly made her bed and jumped in the shower. Kendra was so enthusiastic, and determined to
get the job. No one could ever stop Kendra until she got it. She took a taxi going to the place of hiring and when the taxi pulled
over. Kendra was really shocked of what she saw but she still wanted the job so much. She took off the taxi and walked
confidently going to recruitment agency. Almost 500 applicants were applying for a Flight Attendant job. The agency was so
small. The place was jam- packed with applicants. Kendra was at the end of the line sweating." Hi, Ms. how long are you
standing here now?"Kendra asked still sweating because of the heat of the sun outside of the agency. The line was so long, and
the applicants could not fit in the agency. "Its an hour now. I think they will only choose 100 applicants for the Assesment." The
applicant frustratedly explained to Kendra." What?! There are so many numbers of applicants here now and only 100 should be
stepping forward for Assesment? It is really unbelievable but I am here now. I will get it."Kendra confidently said to the applicant
beside her. Almost two hours had passed three more applicants in front of her then her turn. " Next, please." A staff from a
recruitment team said. Kendra had submitted her resume and went inside the room. They took Kendra's height and weight. " We
are going to call you if you would be in the Assesment." The recruiter member said. Kendra was really surprised on what she
heard. "Ahhh..okay! Thank you."Kendra smilingly said to the staff of a recruitment team. Kendra was could not believe that was
the only thing she did for lining up for hours." Really?" Kendra tiredly said to herself and left the place.
Days had passed, Kendra was checking her e mail if she received a feed back from her application but she got nothing. She was
a little bit frustrated and kept waiting and waiting. 2 weeks later, Kendra then checked again her e mail add. She was smilingly
celebrated herself and said, " Oh Yes! I got into the Assesment for tomorrow." Kendra was so excitedly preparing her business
attire and all the requirements for tomorrow.
The next day came, Kendra was so beautiful, tall confident woman with a round tied bun on her hair, wearing a pearl earrings,
full black coat and skirt. " I am ready for the assesment," she smilingly said in the mirror and left her apartment.
For almost 500 applicants who applied the job for flight attendant and only 100 applicants had been selected for the assesment.
One of the selected candidate for 100 applicants was Kendra Clark. The assesment were held at the 5 star hotel function room.
The assesment had started. The recruitment team members in different nationalities went inside of the function room with their
flight attendant uniform. "Wow, I am super amazed with their uniform. They look really gorgeous. I wanted to be part of this team.
This is my dream. I am going to get this job no matter what."Kendra amazingly said to herself as her eyes were twinkled and
started day dreaming again. The applicant beside her whisperedly said, "Are you not nervous? I am so nervous. It really seems
that we are candidates of beauty contest here. I am not expecting that this is how they recruit flight attendant."Kendra looked at
the applicant beside her so nervous and uneasy, " Relax! Calm down. Can I hold your hand?" Kendra smilingly asked the
applicant beside her and when both held each others hand. Kendra felt how cold the applicant hand. "Are you okay now?"
Kendra asked. " Yes, I am okay now. Thank you. I am Elaine."Elaine started to calm down and smilingly introduced herself to
Kendra." You are welcome Elaine. We can do it. We can make it happen." Kendra smilingly replied to Elaine. After a few hours,
the 100 chosen applicants had lined up again for the heights and weights, then next part was taking english test, the next was
elimination round. All the flight attendant applicants were standing infront of the recruitment team. "Once I mention your number
please go to the left side. The numbers are 20, 30, 18, 22, 89, 90,56, 2, 7 ,10, 44, 58, 99, 9, 15, 17 ,25, 67, 48, 88, 33, 28, 77,
71, 34, 28, 26, 75, 85, 39 and for those who are not mentioned their number, you may leave the function room." The recruitment
staff said seriously. When Kendra and Elaine looked at their number. " We both chose for the next stage." Kendra and Elaine
said to each other. Both were so overwhelmed and smilingly walked to the left side. Next stage was a group activity. They were
divided by 6 groups, each had topic to be discussed then the recruitment staff were walking back and forth observing. After an
hour, the recruitment staff member eliminated again some staffs from 100 to 30 applicants left down then now 10 were chosen
for final interview. " Numbers 8, 15, 7 ,33, 48, 88, 22, 10,7 and 2 are chosen to stay for the final interview and the rest you may
leave. Thank you for your time." the recruitment staff member said. Kendra's number was not chosen and she left the function
room right away. She still didn't give up. She applied again to the other airline company. " I am sorry but you are not qualified for
this job." The Alaska Airlines recruitment staff said same with the Hawaiian Airlines, and all the airlines in the country even in the
middle east airlines companies rejected Kendra's application." I still dont understand. What's wrong with you Kendra Clark? Why
cant you be hired in the airline company? My favorite airline is Emirates Airline but Emirates did not accept me."Kendra
frustratedly asked herself walking down the road on her way home.
