Hi Marta, I did not received the English test yet.

Thank you Marta🤍for this question. I don’t even know how to start because I have a few. First, not being able to speak in front of others candidates or recruiters. I’m an introvert person and speak up in public is something that can be very difficult especially when it’s not your first language, not being able to say a simple sentence and have a blackout. I know because of you and I’m thanking you for that Marta, I can speak with you and my teammates on our call, maybe because I know them now we have been practicing for few months and I can say that I’m comfortable with them even if I make some mistakes while talking… so that’s 1. Another challenging situation is to sound robotic and not natural answering the questions.. each questions I’m learning them not like a poem but similar and trying to stock them in my head( I understand everything, I know each meaning but to come out it’s hard) and then be natural while speaking. I don’t want the recruiter for example thinking “ she memorize the answers”. Not being good enough, thinking others can make it but not me. I want to prove myself wrong and at the same time proving to myself that I can do it and at the end be proud of me for achieving something so important in my life.

Thank you Marta🤍 for always giving us such an important message about how to be better and to help us stay in the loop and not be discouraged during this difficult period of time in the Middle East. This journey for me is becoming more stressful, frustrating.. first waiting 5 more months to apply to my dream airline and then stepping into another airline that is moving slow with uncertainty. About working for an airline in my country, I’m forcing myself to take the risk and apply but to be honest I’m just not interested, I don’t know how to explain but my mind, my soul is somewhere else. I know I’m making a mistake not trying but my heart is already in the Middle East, because I don’t want to get into a random airline and then thinking after a year or two that I need to prepare again to join the airline that I’m dreaming about. I don’t want to give up, I know it’s hard..I need to have a lot of patience and understanding be resilient and trusting myself and my mentor. I know I will be waiting for several months and I’m willing to do that until my day comes with you Marta by my side. Thank you Marta for helping me open up and share my thoughts😊🤍

Thank you Marta for your video, for sharing thoughtful advice and opening my eyes on extending my choices.. after receiving another rejection from Etihad (maybe because of the situation there) I’m happy to visualize myself in another airline and I’m thankful for helping me get there Marta😊

Hi Marta, I love this idea… we can have more time to practice, prepare and build more confidence together, and especially like you mentioned the Middle East is going slow on recruitment.
