POV: You're Fired from Your Dream Job
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 тра 2024
- This week it's your turn to be curious... I'm sure you're wondering where I've been!
In this video, I am getting a bit personal and shedding a tear or two, as I share my experience leaving (or being asked to leave) my dream job of being cabin crew in Dubai.
I still consider the experience one to cherish, as I got to experience living abroad as cabin crew in the Middle East and there's genuinely no feeling that can compare to feeling your dreams actually come true.
I want you to experience the same thing someday, whatever your dream is.
In this video, I share what happened to me though so that the same thing never happens to you.
The airline industry is once again booming and people want to travel. If it's your dream to see the world as Cabin Crew for Emirates, now is the time to apply so don't let my video stop you if it's what you want. Just know what you're in for by watching this video!
What we discuss:
- Is Emirates strict as a company?
- Do looks matter to the company?
- Why was I fired?
- How did I get fired? What was the process?
- What happens after you get fired?
- Where I've been this whole time?
And more!
I really hope this video helps you be more prepared, answer questions related to my personal experience, and help you see that it's not that I forgot about you guys at all, trust me. I missed you just as much if not more.
Thank you so so much for watching my channel!!
See you next time!

Every rejection is a redirection, your destiny is bigger than this. You deserve better and greater things love ❤
Thank you
Absolutely 💯
Every rejection is a redirection. That’s a beautiful sentiment. Most of us have had rejection in our lives 😢
@@kathyt221 It's all about how we handle it that matters ♥ You can do it
You’re capable of anything! You’ll have another great dream and it will become a reality!
This is a high quality woman in a class of her own. No hatred, no bitterness, assimilating intellectually the circumstances that have led to her current situation. Hopefully some great employer will see the caliber of human being she is and give her the opportunity she deserves and at which she will surely shine.
You're so articulate and thoughtful! Thank you very much for these kind words. I am genuinely so grateful to you for leaving this comment. Take care of yourself
Getting terminated, accepted and then terminated again means that you are meant for something else. You can always try the private aviation sector. NetJets, Vista Jets, or another international airline.
Thanks! I never thought of that. I appreciate the suggestion 💟
@@catbeingcurious Yes. With some, to an extent, you can make your own schedule, as you are a contractor, not an employee. I think there are even agencies that will offer you flights.
I'm a former Airline Flight Dispatcher and interviewed with such companies.
go to Delta, American, United etc. Don't give up. If you must go to Emirates then after a year try again. By that time you would have a ton of flying experience with orher airlines. If you don't persevere they win with they're petty rules. You may find you like the other airlines better. Best wishes. BTW don't put people on a pedestial. The top pedestial is the Lord himself. I'm sure she is NOT that beautiful, not inside anyway
It takes alot of courage to tell your story, and it's so encouraging to hear you share what you're going through. Not alot of people are transparent but your kindness and positivity has always been admired. I know you'll find what's meant for you. You deserve it.
Awe thanks Josephine. I am really grateful to be acknowledged like that! Haha I should have brought you to the disciplinary hearing as my witness 😭Comments like these give me hope that the best is yet to come. Thanks 💕
“you can’t cry in the lobby”😂 what the heck lady! I literally just got fired have a heart- jokes aside though I’m really sorry that this happened to you
Haha it's ok... Sometimes you have to laugh and cry at the same time😹
We'll you know it's all ways other jobs out 😅
That line reminded me of the scene in "A League of their Own" where Tom Hanks' character says "There's no crying in baseball!"
Actually, Cat, that would be a healing movie for you to see!
They treat you like children. You're well rid of that type of working environment.
I mean girl, you litteraly sign a paper pretty much saying "I don't have any tattoos on these parts of my body and if I lie about it i am aware that i'll be fired"
Then lied about it and got fired ...
Who cares about a tattoo if it's not on your forehead?!
@@lala-ct9ir It sucks but it is classified as fare discrimination. They have an image to maintain and honestly she had to known that something like this could happen by getting a tattoo.
@@lala-ct9ir well that's not the point, the point is they make you sign a paper, and they did what they said they'd do on the paper
DID SHE NEED YOU TO RECAP WHAT SHE SAID? SMH!! I MEAN GIRL.. STOP BEING A COLD CHICA!!!
Sending you support & hugs - this is my 1st video of yours I’ve watched - some advice from a 50 something yo lady (who wanted to be a FA at 19 but was too scared to move to San Francisco from the east coast so I didn’t accept the offer & who’s older sister just became a crew member recently in her 50’s for the 1st time) ..things happen in our lives for a reason, we may never know that reason, but for some reason you are not meant to fly with Emirates or start with Ethiad at this time ..listen to what the universe is telling you ..your next life’s chapter book is already written - you just have to find it - be patient & you will ..I remember being your age & wanting this one thing SO badly & the moment I gave up on trying it happened ..as my 19 yo niece says, “I manifested it Cathy” 🙃 - & I would giggle at her youth - well she manifested getting into fashion school in Paris, getting her dream apartment, & falling in love with the kindest boy in a matter of 2 years ..so in the words of my young niece “I manifest only the best this world has to offer to you & Etihad calling you back in the future” ♥️
Are yiu crying for Émirats ? Really? A company who treat their staff as slaves. I flew business with them several times and i felt sorry for the wonderful crew. Their slavish devotion it's too much. Émirats it's like Dubai, they take poor people and use them as slaves for customer services or crew. So please no more crying. You're a beautiful girl who speaks 7 languages you said, you seem to have a good soul, so God will lead you to the top. Just foget Émirats You're too good gor them !🙏❤❤🇨🇵
Merci c'est gentil 🌺
In my 76 years (and counting) I've found there are some of us who TRY to fit into the pegs they try, from childhood on, to shape us for. But some of us just won't fit. We try, and are so sad when - once again - we've been rejected.
But some of us just can't push down that spark of independence, that "Hey, I am ME!" that's in everyone to varying degrees.
Once you accept and understand that, each interview will be YOU interviewing your employer, deciding if they are human enough to accept people with a reasonable number of (what they see as) flaws. If they don't measure up, fire THEM!
Or... do something on your own or with a friend... but don't start a partnership... that's a bad marriage without the sex!
God will help you if you reach out to Him. He did it for me, and hey, I'm nobody special.
Really? Treat them as slaves? Be real FFS
@@CloughReviews YES AS SLAVES.
Thanks for having the courage to share your experience. I know how difficult it is to lose a job that you spent years preparing for. I wish you the best. You have to roll with the punches through life's ups and downs. You deserved better than that. I spent a painful last few years. I was a caregiver for my parents and the last six months of my mother's life were very difficult physically, mentally and emotionally for me while my brother did nothing to help. We called him out on it, he didn't even go to her funeral blaming us that we told him not to come, not true. He then turns around and sues her estate claiming we took money from the house after I devoted eight years of my life helping my parents. Things have finally settled down but I worked 34 years to be able to travel and enjoy life and the first few years of retirement have been very difficult. So hang in there. I can tell you are a beautiful and sweet young lady with tons of potential and it only takes one person to realize that and you"ll be on your way.❤️❤️🙏🙏
I'm so sorry to hear about what happened. i had a similar break down at me last open day in march 2024 , after i made it to the final interview i was the last candidate to be interviewed , as i sat down the recruiter hit me with the bad news, telling me that i don't want to give you hope and do an interview because i know that the hiring managers won't accept you. i literally froze and started asking why what's the reason ??! is it my cv , age, nationality, work experience or my height ????!! the recruiter said that she can not say why unfortunately, i literally started crying , like i've been here since 8:30 am and it's 8:30 pm now this whole day feeling nervous and excited that i am finally getting closer to my dream , why did you keep me till the end ? why didn't you just send me home from the first group discussion ? i asked her was it my looks , was it how i was in the group activities ? she said no, she also started getting emotional because of how i broke down in frustration, she said if you guess the reason i will confirm it , i said age , work experience , nationality , height ? she said yes , the height , i told her but i am above the minimum height of 160cm , she said but according to my measurement you are 161cm , i was confused ?! i said but even 161cm is above the minimum , and i wouldn't even apply if i knew that i don't have the basic requirements , she said i know i hope one day this will change and it would be clearer . i just sat there and cried and she even asked me have you applied to other airlines , why don't you try with Etihad , you can also apply for the customer service roles , while handling me a tissue.
so i fee your pain and i do feel that you are just a number to them , i was even asking myself , like i am not even hired with this company and i already feel like i am not treated well , what would have happen if i signed a contract and then found out how they treat their employees ? is everything i hear and see online true.
i don't know if i would try again honestly , maybe other airlines but not emirates.
I'm sorry you had this experience but I hope that life shows you why you were taken to another path. You can't miss what is meant for you 💟
@@catbeingcurious thank you for your kind words , and i hope you achieve your dream one day and inspire many to not give up 🙏
That doesn't make any sense. Why would they not accept you if you are above the minimum height? does that mean they don't even accept someone who is 160?
@@cearaviancabalane500 It's like beauty pageants. Some of them have no height requirements at all but we all know the shortest contestant is not gonna win.
@@cearaviancabalane500 i don't know why , but I've been seeing several comments on fb groups saying that they only accept people whom are 165cm and taller , i know it's unprofessional and discriminating for such a big company , but i know one thing the recruiter can't really really tell the reason , i felt it was just to give me closure and not be sad u know, i wouldn't really know unless i try with a different recruiter , then that will conform if it's actually about the height or not .
This is EXTREMELY heartbreaking. Especially knowing that it was such an innocent mistake. I literally just flew into Vancouver today for the assessment day on Tuesday but after watching this I don’t know how I feel. I feel your pain and I wish you could have a do over with Emirates. 😭 I know it’s hard to believe but there’s better things in store for you and God will reveal that soon. Sending you lots of love ❤️
Thank you very much for your comment. I can feel how kindhearted you are in your words. I don't mean to speak poorly of the company in this video, or to discourage you from pursuing this field if that's what you want 💟Thanks for being a light
The reason your offer was retracted was because Emirates would have been obligated to tell them that you lied when applying to them. It was nothing to do with the tattoo itself.
Could be
@@catbeingcurious It may have been for a higher reason that has nothing to do with earthly matters.
Trust God (or Allah, if you prefer). I did and He helped me more than I could have helped myself! And I'm no one special.
Etihad did a background check including prior employment and found out she had been at Emirates and the circumstances surrounding her firing. That gave Etihad sufficient concern whether she could be trusted (I know, but the fact is she did it, period), and Etihad doesn’t need to hire someone who is willing to violate company policy and lie about it. There were 699 other candidates in that room, and 699 thousand elsewhere who’d jump at the chance to work there. It sucks but those are the rules of the game.
I applied for a job at this big airline as a gate agent. The interview was cut short and obviously I didn't get the job. Months later I found out they have a high turnover and employees complaints. The same position has been open for a while.
My God blessed me with a good job right after I left that interview feeling like a failure!! 🙏🏼✝️🙌🏼
That happened to me,too, in both the airline and railroad industries.. That's how I learned that God is real and loves us like no other can!
@@KutWrite Amen 🙏🏼✝️ I'm happy for you!!!!
Hello, Cat.
This video randomly popped up in my recommendations and after watching it I feel a desperate need to tell you some things. Please excuse my English since I’m not a native speaker.
1. You’ve probably been told this a million times before, but your manner of speaking reveals you as a very intelligent, deep and thinking person. I don’t care how ridiculous it sounds considering I’ve only watched a 20-minutes-long videoclip of you - such a person is visible immediately, from the first sentence they utter. I can also tell by how genuine and open-hearted you are that you’ve overcome some challenges in life, Emirates being just one of them, and managed to remain a good person. It’s so uncommon to run into someone like this, both on the Internet and in real life. I’m happy I came across your channel and I’ll follow your journey, no matter what path you’ll choose.
2. I’m really sorry this happened to you since you are a perfect candidate for this role, for sure. Hearing stories like yours always turns me to reflection about how ruthless and dismissive this corporate culture is sometimes to an individual, their story and potential. In my opinion, YOU are a missed opportunity for Emirates, not vise versa. Please, try to think of it this way, because it’s true.
3. It’s super random, but I’ve never met a person who speaks 7 languages. I’m very impressed and curious to know which languages are these and how you’ve managed to not only learn, but also maintain them. I can guess they are Spanish, French and English, but what are the rest?
4. Please seek your dream and never give up, no matter if it’s aviation or something else. I’m very afraid to give any advice, because I know how ignorant and out of place it may sound from a stranger, but I guess you can reapply for Etihad, FlyDubai or AirArabia after you tattoo removal is done. I know what it feels to be lost in life - I’ve been there myself.
5. You are a strikingly beautiful, talented, intelligent and strong-willed young lady. You have everything to be happy. Your situation deserves understanding and sympathy, but you as a person do not deserve condescending pity, you know what I mean? Everything will turn out the best possible way for you.
Once again, excuse my English.
Greetings from Belarus!
Hi, thank you so much for your articulate and thoughtful response. I really am grateful that this video has resonated with people I did not anticipate on UA-cam... Your words are so kind and supportive, I can only imagine how great of a person you are too.
I speak English, French, Spanish, Italian and Farsi fluently and some German and Portuguese. I intend to make a video about this so stay tuned to find out more
Thank you once again for taking the time to respond. I really appreciate your words 💝
@@catbeingcurious wow very impressive!! will stay tuned for your language videos
Nothing to excuse
Your English is superb
@@catbeingcurious Ahhh. Your name and mastery of Farsi probably said "Iranian" to the Emirates AND Etihad people. As I recall the two countries are at opposite ends of Islam and have fought often.
If that's not it, I suspect it's something similar would have gotten you disqualified at some point. May I guess there are no Jews, especially Israelis, working there?
I agree about Cat's beauty. I can only imagine the looks of the lady she thought was so beautiful.
Girl ❤I’m sending you a big bear hug !!! 🤗 you are a warrior. Thank you for sharing your story, you have no idea how many people you are inspiring right now. There are bigger & better plans in store you. Love you Cat ❤️
Thank you for watching 💟
EK is strict .. and exactly what you said.. look comes first with them there. As far as I see, you didn’t lose much, cos after all, there’s no permanent living in Dubai. They pay you well, but they use you a lot too. And it’s a term contract where you might get extended every couple of years. That means it’s an evaluation throughout your contract. In the end, if you leave the company, you pack and go, it doesn’t matter how long and how much you got yourself attached to it. Dubai isn’t the most comfortable place to live. I worked for them on the ground.. It was a hardest job in the industry. And now I’m flying with AC. Yes, conditions are different. Yes, pays are not as great at first, but things get better overtime and we live our chill life where the collective environment protects us. Home is where your heart feels rested at, not where the glams are. I went to Dubai for my training back then, Now I know that I’m so happy to be home
Thanks for sharing this. It's a very encouraging perspective 🙂
I'm so sorry to hear about what happened. Keep your head up and stay strong. You're an inspiration for me
That's so kind of you to say. Thanks for your comment Haseeb!
I came across your channel/this video randomly in my feed and just have to say my heart breaks for you especially when your voice starts breaking when you're overcome with sadness.
However, I am a firm believer that when you're being rejected from something, it's God's way of protecting you and it's meant to redirect you elsewhere. What's meant for you is out there. 💜
Thank you for your kind comment 💟
This video came up randomly in my suggested, and... I don't ever feel compelled to leave comments on UA-cam videos, but woof this one hit differently. As somebody who's been through a lot of surprise changes in my life, who has also been let go from what was a dream job before, it was really healing and restorative to watch you speak about your journey and your experience, and with such maturity, objectivity, and vulnerability all at once (I mean, it's your goddamn life). And humour. You seem to be amazingly resourceful and even though the whole situation just effing sucks (my jaw was dropped for like half the video because... these companies won't ever grasp of how much of a human consequence these huge, sweeping decisions can be... because unfortunately they don't have to) I have to agree with some of the others in the comments that you're absolutely destined for something greater. I know you'll find a way to see the world some other way. Much love from a fellow Torontonian
You're so kind. Life blindsides all of us lol and it's all about how we handle it. It makes me happy that my viewers are so intelligent, well-spoken and empathetic. Hope you go far in life 💌
@@catbeingcurious I have a beard and bold, will this be a problem working in emirates ?
Hey your vid just popped up randomly and I was ex EK crew as well so kinda caught my attention here. I was let go as well during the pandemic and first of all I'm sorry that this had happened to you. I hope you recovered from this ordeal soon enough! Don't worry there is no timeline on how long you should heal.. follow your heart and if it's still not ok then you're not there yet.. I used 2 full years to fully accept my new life (away from EK dream job too) and yeah am still chasing for new dreams 😂 sending hugs from Msia! All the best in your new plans! Take care ❤
@@kfckfc961 Clean shaven for beard, but bald I'm not sure. Ask a recruiter maybe. You can find the requirements here: www.emiratesgroupcareers.com/cabin-crew/
@@krystletan8695 You're so kind! All the best to you too. I know that your new life and dreams will be much more fulfilling ☺ You're never alone 🤗
this is why I told my kids to NEVER get any tattoos. Not worth losing a job or not getting a job. My daughter did not listen and she has had problems getting jobs. My son did listen and is happily employed.
Here! Here! One way or another, you’ll regret it, and so your skin.
I think it's a bit of a broad generalization to say that tattoos lead to poor employment, as it depends on the industry, the person's CV, and a host of other things. There are many happily employed tattooed folks. This video is particular to crew targeting airline work in the middle east though, which is a bit more strict in this regard. Cheers ☺
Trust me, a lot of my colleagues in the company I work have giant tattoos on their arms, etc - very visible, and yet they are minting $$s and thriving in their job. I work in Software industry. It all depends on which industry you work in.
For most jobs, it doesn't matter anymore. I've worked in corporate jobs for universities and not for profits where people have tattoos and coloured hair, and nobody cares
I’ve had several corporate jobs and I’ve got sleeves on both arms and several facial piercings. I’m in a senior management role right now. I usually have brightly colored hair and I wear leggings and Disney T-shirts to work. I’ve taken tea with British royals in all of my tattooed and pierced glory. Let your daughter live her best life, we only get one shot at it
Girl, it takes so much to share your stories and I’m truly inspired ❤. Thank you for being vulnerable through it all! I know this not the end at all for you and cannot wait to see (or not!) what’s in store for your future ❤
Thank you for your kind words
Thank you for sharing your story and being vulnerable. I worked for a company for years that had similar physical standards and it’s exhausting being under that constant pressure. It’s a 24/7 job. I truly admire your resilience and positive attitude.
Thank you! I'm sure you're very strong too
Thank you for the beautiful testimony. I wish you all the best!
Thank you!
Don't worry you'll be fine Cat. Much love and a big hug! ❤️ 🤗
Thank you!
I've never seen anyone speak so honestly with all that had happened. I really do feel the pain through your smile. I really do wish you all the best, and may God bless you more than what you lost. Good Luck.
Hope to always share honestly on my channel Thanks for watching
Oh I'm so sorry for your heartbreak! It is devastating to hear you speak about it. You are wonderful and a bigger dream awaits you. Don't lose hope ❤
I totally feel you, I had a similar experience on a different airline and it’s the worst feeling ever!!! I wish you the best and good luck. 🙏🏼 There are hundreds of airlines in the world so don’t give up!!
I had this Job and 💯 Honestly I prayed to get fired. I was housed in the White Building which was a gross old place. I had to surrender my passport. When I went to the Mall's to shop small minded shop workers giggled at me insinuating I was a prostitute when I gave my Emirates staff address. Then I had a couple disgusting female superiors who would wave their finger in my face for nothing threatening myself and other cabin crew members saying " one way ticket home" I felt bad for my colleagues who came from disadvantaged countries petrified but I was from the UK and laughed at the bullies. I was pleased I did the job but pleased when I left. UAE is a bubble everyone should experience once but get back to reality. My soul craved genuine realness. I wish you a bright future. Fortune favours the Bold! You tried and now onto another adventure ❤
so proud of you Cat and so glad you exist ❤. youre so brave and have been through so much. ❤️💪🏻
Thanks Katie! I appreciate having great friends like you ☺
Omg that's so terrible!! I'm so sorry you had to go thru that!! You sound like a super talented person and I'm sure the perfect thing will come up!!
Thank you so much!
Thank you for sharing your story. I felt your emotion in your voice. With all of your talent (speaking multiple languages) is an asset. Something will turn up for you. Hang in there 😊
This video randomly showed up in my feed, i was so interested in the title,so read on & was mesmerized by your story ,how arriculate you are, & how resiient you were to immediately try for another airline..I'm an old lady now,but WAY back ,long before you & your subs were ever born,i applied for a position at a now defunct airline, was rejected & was devastated, i was so devastated that i stupidly would not try for any other airlines ( something i have always regretted.)
So,keep on trying, even if this leads you on a different path,just never give up!
Best wishes!
Hi Cat, I also came by your channel - I feel so heartbroken for you - for both companies must be hard to work for having such strict rules, I have been a passenger for Emirates before going to Dubai in economy class - and it was such a bad experience, terrible customer service.
You seem like such a lovely and beautiful person. I’m sure ur time will come very soon
My child you have a sweet personality. Don't be discouraged. Our Lord Almighty has better assignments for you. Have faith in our Lord . He is working wonders for you. Soon you will receive His reward. Be strong. All the very best. God bless you my child
Truly sorry to hear what happened. I always believe that if something good happens to you, then that's obviously good. But of the good does not happen, then even better. Because that means God has destined you for something better than the good you had been aiming for. And this better will come to you at the right time.
You are a brave young lady. Needs lot of courage to share. I wish you the very best for your future endeavors.
Thank you for sharing your comment 🙂
That's one heck of a 1-2 punch. But look at you. Standing again. Thank you for sharing this. I'm so excited for the next blessing coming your way. It will be better than any of this stuff behind you now.
Bless you!! I was crew for 10years and Japan Airlines for 5years and was my dream job and glad i fulfilled it but let me tell you I have a number of friends who worked for Emirates and the glory of it quickly fades as they are so ruthless and tough to work for. I know thats not gonna help as youd like to make your own experiences but Emirates turned me down after submitting my photo at the last round, guess i wasnt pretty enough but they did me a favour and all worked out great for not going through what my friends described as a golden prison and getting JAL! Pick yourself up there are a world of airlines out there and you will have every success!!! 👋👋💯💯💯
That's so kind, thanks a lot !
You're gonna be great. Life throws us a few knocks but we get back up and makes us stronger!!
Looking forward to ur new journey 💯💪
I can relate. Feel really sad for you Cat. Rejections lead towards your dream. Inshallah, you will get your dream job.
Thank you very much
You stay strong ❤
Everything happens for a reason
This is so heartbreaking at the same time an eye opener..not been in your shoes but i completely get it soo proud of you girl ❤
I’m very impressed with your attitude after experiencing this. Keep your chin up; there are other doors that will open for you.
It’s all about picking yourself up off the ground and moving forward after something like this. You’ve got this. 👍
Give yourself so much love. I pray the best blessings for you and I pray you are blessed with something much bigger and far better than what was taken from you. Take care of yourself.
Thank you 🙏
Thanks for sharing, while I know it's difficult, it will help younger people understand what one wrong decision can lead to, it's a good lesson unfortunately you had to live but others will learn from you.
Thanks for sharing your story
I salute your composure and the better future continues now. I've been laid off 4x and always it gets better each time so I am very content and wish the same for you.
Am really sorry about the whole experience dear.,it’s so heartbreaking
Am sure you will get something better that aligns with your purpose
Thank you ☺
I'm sorry to hear about your what happened. Firstly you are so beautiful and very honest. Plz don't cry anymore. Don't give up everything will be fine 🙏. I will send you my ❤❤❤❤
I once had a dream 6 figure job here in Toronto. But my boss was the worst human being on earth. I ended up quitting and it was not easy. I felt the loss and was hard. But I am doing well now and thankful that I have respected myself than respect a bully and an organization that protects him.
You're strong for taking care of yourself in such a difficult situation. I hope you know you can have more peaceful dream 6-figure jobs in the future. Take care
Congratulations! No job is worth the mental and sometimes physical abuse.
This is so crazy:( I m sorry to hear that happened to you. Everything happens for a reason :)
Watching this made me cry and I'm so sorry this happened to you. Often times in life we have to let somethings go to make room for even greater things to come our way, stay strong and you've gained a new subscriber here! ❤
Thanks so much
What goes around comes around, so stay positive and good things will happen in your life ! God bless you
Thank you very much ☺
I came across your video on my feed. So Random. My heart breaks watching you cry. Not being able to live your dream can be mentally disturbing and I empathise with you as I went through something similar years ago, although it wasn't for an airline industry. Please take your time in healing and thorough my experience this is something that can never be forgotten and it will hit you hard on certain days. BuT amongst all this, please understand you did your best, you were honest and you deserve the best! I hope something better comes along the way for you. As God says, a blessing in disguise awaits those who have patience.some things don't work out for the best cause there's something way better in the horizon! I wish you the best! ❤ sending you lots of love.. 😊
Thank you! I am practicing being grateful for the things I do have, even when it looks different than what I expected ☺
Hey Cat, I’m so sorry to hear what happened… I know it’s heartbreaking and I pray you found comfort and strength from the Lord. I’m sure something better is coming your way and it might be God’s way of protecting you from something worse that’s why He didn’t allow it to push through. It’s never a coincidence for sure! Thanks for being vulnerable and sharing your story so people can learn from it too! That show so much of how strong you are! God bless and guide you on your next steps! -Thriney
Hi Thriney! Thanks so much for your kind words and for watching my video. It means a lot 😊 It's true we never know why we are on a certain path and it's important to trust the journey.
I am sorry for what happened, it was certainly heartbreaking. You are beautiful inside and out, I am sure you will be more successful whatever you do next. Keep it up gal!
Thank you so much!
Perhaps you could try airline ground positions?
Thanks for sharing your story. You're a brave woman. Though I feel sad for what happened to you, I also feel that you're in for better things. Have courage! As Catriona Gray said, "To anyone with a dream, know that your dreams are valid. And on your path you are never denied, but only redirected."
Sorry to hear that. Its never easy, and i hear you trust me. Ive been through it all as well ,its there loss. You are young and so many other airlines or jobs you can do. Dont loose faith✨🙏🛫🙂
Thank you !
Sorry to hear about your experience. All the best for the future.
You are a great person for being transparent and showing all of us your disappointment and adversity. People should take note and learn from your experience. And cheer up, most important thing is that you are alive and you will live to have another dream and conquer it. This was a beautiful, heart warming and humane story.
Thank you for your thoughtful comment
You’re made for bigger and better things girl!! ❤ That’s how the universe works. Won’t let you settle. Just trust the process 🤗
Your story was so touching . God has much bigger plans for you. 🙏🙏
I can understand this feeling, don't cry 🙃
You're a strong lady..
I am really sorry for you and I wish you all the best for your future!
I'm so sorry for what happened with both jobs. You are so beautiful, inside and outside and so generous and wise. People who come in contact with you, in person and virtually, are are blessed. Those airlines have lost a precious Gem, genuinely. I wish you good luck, good love and good light for your future.❤
What a kind thing to say. Thank you ☺
I'm not surprised, I was thinking as long as it is covered it should have been fine at least this is how the airlines in the States are. Thank you for sharing ❤
Every airline is different! Thanks for sharing
Look at the bright side, it's their lost. You are incredible in what you do, keep on preservor in what you have passion in and you never know it will open more doors for you.. Just preservior and patience ..Wish you the best and thanks for sharing your ♥
Hi Cat,
Your video popped up randomly on my YT feed and I am glad that I clicked on it and watched it.
Thank you for being courageous in sharing your story. You have such remarkable strength and I pray that you do not let these disappointments in life derail you from you are and who you were created to be. As much as it may be painful right now - and it may make absolutely no sense in this moment - some day you will look back and realise the higher purpose behind it all, and you will be thankful that it turned out the way it did. These storms in life do not come to destroy you; they come to strengthen, empower and elevate you so trust in God’s perfect way and allow yourself to be led to where you are meant to be ❤
You are intelligent, radiant, articulate and you shine wonderfully from within. These are your gifts and if certain people cannot see beyond what’s literally skin deep, that is truly their loss. You are going to make wonderful strides with your life; I fully believe and KNOW this to be true for you. Hold on to your faith, your character, your ability to transform wounds into wisdom and go out there and live life to the fullest and without regret.
Be prospered Cat. Some days will be easier than others but KNOW this to be true for you… Good things are coming your way and you will understand that the setback was only a setup for your greatest chapter yet 💛
Bless you 🙏🏻 Thank you for sharing. You deserve an amazing life ❤️
You too!
You are so inspirational, always looking for the positive!!!, I love it !
God sure does see the tears and challengers you’ve faced, what’s coming is going to be far better than what has passed,
Keep your head up and thank you for being an inspiration for all !!❤️
Love your content so please don’t stop doing what you do 🤩!
Thank you so much Helen! I'm grateful to get to know such amazing people like you through UA-cam 🌼I know the best is yet to come 💖
Oh dear Cat, you are such an amazing woman, lovely, intelligent and honest person. So brave to tell your experience. I am planning to apply for the next interviews in Argentina but at the same time i feel really scared as I m not sure if im going to make it, we all have things that doesnt match with the company standards, and so, we see many people that actually make it. So, dont take it personal. At least you tried it and that's what makes you special. ❤ The ones who tried are always a step ahead! You are totally worthy and thanks for sharing your story! Love 💖 I wish you the best of luck 😊
Thanks for your positive energy
No words, just love, hugs, and respect. I know you are more than enough to have an amazing life. These two companies can’t afford what you truly deserve. You have no idea how much you touched and inspired me today thank you for sharing your story. Iloveyou!💕
I love your comment. Thanks for being so positive 🤗
This is so heartbreaking. You've earned the right to say that there is no one else more deserving for this role at this prestigious airline, and it was illogically taken away from you. If I was the head people, I would've worked with you to maybe hide it with make up or a similar effect. No chances or workarounds are BRUTAL in these high-end international companies. As a former cabin crew, I solute and honor you for going through this turbulence because something greater is meant for you. I've even went to an open day with Emirates once and I felt something was off about the way they hire. That's just my personal intuition. Currently going through that better transition myself since quitting my FA job. Love your personality. God Bless you.
Thank you! I wish you all the best in your transition. I know you'll go far because you're thoughtful and hardworking (hard to be crew otherwise). Cheers ☺
Hugs to you 🫂. I broke down when you were breaking down 🥺 because disappointments ain’t easy. You have such a positive attitude & great things will come your way 😊 I’ve no doubt. Your heart will heal ❤️🩹 & you’ll be able to recount all this with less hurt because healing is what we humans are conditioned to do best by overcoming all sorts of adversities. The sun will rise again keep hope alive.
Thank you
This is super emotional :( You have more to offer, take your time to find you way ♥
Thank you
much love girl 💖
there will be bigger things to come soon. just believe in yourself. 🌸
Thank you
Hello cat, thanks for sharing such a inspiring story. I'm sure its a good lesson for who are willing to work with emirates. You are a strong lady stood up within a day and move forward. The change you had will defininetly bring you more abundance. Trust the universe.
Thank you for your kind comment.
You are very strong Cat. Thanks for sharing your story!!❤
Thanks so much!
Really feel sad to hear your story and see your tears. But no need to worry, not all dreams and passion come true, and always we cannot follow our passion or dream as some motivational speakers say. You will have a good different way soon, till then try to stay calm (it's bit hard, but try yourself). We all are coming through many such obstacles and reaching some good stations inbetween. Also see that we all have good health which is a good wealth. So try all your ways and something good will reach you soon.❤
Thank you for this positive perspective ☺
I really admire you for your resilience. Thanks for sharing your experience. You are one of a kind and maybe is just God protecting you somehow. Hugs! ❤
Thank you for your kind comment 🥰I like to think so. Cheers
You have shown some courage by making this vlog. It shows up the strength of your character that you are a better person.
Thanks a lot ☺
hi Cat,
I dont usually comment on YT videos, but just wanted to say what a great video this was. it randomly popped up on my feed and it was crazy to see how different life is to the ideal YT influencer life where everything seems to be going perfectly. you made me realise that even famous people have setbacks and its the way that someone pulls through that matters. thanks for inspiring me :))
Haha thank you for your kind comment. We are all just figuring it out
Auw I totally resonate with this 💔 my fiancé moved to Dubai last year so in July I applied to emirates, made it to final interview, then was rejected. Tried out again in January and made it to final interview again only to be rejected. I was heartbroken both times, especially the second, as I really thought I interviewed well and even the recruiter said to the girls they needed to style themselves like me for the photos. I’ve moved to Dubai now and applied to etihad, but their process is much longer than emirates so I’ve lost hope. Seeing you cry and be so honest about this experience was very refreshing. Sending love and hoping a new experience comes your way. Rejection is redirection (at least that’s what I’m telling myself ❤)
It's a tough process in part because everything is speculation. You pull together information from your friends, or facebook groups, or whatever you can find really. I hope this helps 🤗 You are beautiful and look fit for the best airlines. Remember nothing meant for you can miss you 💙 Take care
❤ Feel really sad for you Cat. I am sure you are in for much greater things in life.
Thanks!
I wanna hug you ❤ you are brilliant and I hope you don’t feel lost in life never again. I know this feeling and it’s so hard to get back on track.
Thank you for leaving a very kind comment ☺
their loss girl ! u rock
Thank you 🤗🥰
I'd go for something else than working for an airline. It's not glamourous at all and the pay is bad.
@@lala-ct9ir It can be hard work, but also at times a rewarding career. Thanks for watching ☺
You are incredibly brave to put out this story to the world.
If it can help one person, bravery is a no-brainer ☺
You deserve much more than this!
Wishing you the best. Always be super careful and disclose when signing on documentation a lesson to us all.
Great things are on the horizon❤
Haha thanks Abhiraj. Definitely with your help
Embarked my new sheer pace into this industry, brand new into Cathay Pacific as a flight attendant, and I remember preparing for this business seeing how giants like Emirates, Qatar Airways operate. You, were if not the best that I had looked up to. Having my fair lengths of rejections and borderline ridiculous acts that are unfair to begin with, all I'll say is this has redirected you to somethin much better. And bigger Cat! You don't give a shid. ❤️
Good luck at Cathay Pacific! They are a wonderful airline. All the best to you in your journey and thank you for watching ☺
God bless u ...you will keep soaring high......best wishes....
Thanks for sharing your story with us ❤
Hope it helps!
Good luck for your next journey, whatever it is, best wishes for you ❤
Thank you !
Heartbreaking stuff,Cat... but believe... what doesn't kill you, will only make you stronger.
You are an inspiration, truly. I wish you success and only success ❤
Thank you for your comment!
Every rejection is a redirection!❤
💖💖
I'm so sorry to hear that. Let me give u a big hug.
You are very strong. Sending lots of love ❤❤❤❤
Honestly this is just the job culture in the UAE. Hire and fire...
But there are always other opportunities!! Keep your head up ❤
Thank you for sharing your experience, although it wasn't easy. What's meant for you will definitely find you. I hope you applied for Riyadh Air as well since they're the next big thing in the Middle East. You never know 😊
Haha you never know. Thanks!
I hope you will bounce back from it all, I decided on a change of job, the first interview went well and then the second one , I went and they cancelled it, and then the third, the manager for the department was there and sat totally disinterested and I could tell I was more qualified than him and it explained a high staff turnover, as he had an attitude. I felt a bit dejected over not getting it, but 2 weeks later another job came along and I got it, and now I am happy and glad I didnt get the other job, so you might still get your dream but with someone who will thing of you as a person not as a number.
