They made it
The assessment went as you mentioned in your class. I tried my best to look well, especially hair style and well-groomed. I believe “the visualization” was very useful to me. I always used to listen to the audio file when I went to bed. Thank you again and you made me cabin crew!
Hi Kara, you know what? I am in HKG, its my second operational flight. I made it! I just want to thank you for all the support I had these last years, especially your emails.
Just wanted to let u know that I’ve finally made it to Emirates and I graduated 3 weeks ago. Your book, and stories really helped me a lot. On top of it all, not only was I offered a job by emirates only but two other airlines. I just chose emirates cause it’s the BEST!
