September 3, 2024, I received my CTO, and what made it even more special was that it happened on a New Moon! After years of waiting, I started my Flight Attendant journey two years ago. I made it all the way to a face-to-face in November of 2022, on my first try! I was sooo happy, omg, but I allowed my nerves to overpower me, and I didn’t walk away with my CJO. I received a TBNT the following month. I tried again when I was allowed to, but once again, my nerves and overthinking got the best of me, and I didn’t make it past the pre-recorded interview. At this point, my confidence was slowly decreasing, and the thoughts in my head started to sound like: “Maybe this isn’t for you” and “Your interview skills aren’t good enough.” I have to be honest, I started to believe those thoughts. When I applied again in late 2023, I gave up. I advanced to the pre-recorded interview but I didn’t submit it. However, after months of signs, obstacles, and encouraging conversations with my Babeee, I decided to give it another shot. This time, I promised myself I wouldn’t internalize any negative thoughts. I chose to truly believe in myself and take it one step at a time. Three interviews. I made it through THREE interviews. Was I nervous? Absolutely. Did I stumble over some of my words? Yes. And did negative thoughts try to take over? H—yes! But I didn’t internalize any of that. I continued to show my heart, stayed positive, and Just. Kept. Swimming! This led me to receiving my CTO! I am SO proud of myself for not giving up on my aspirations. It felt surreal to finally achieve something I’ve always dreamt of and it took me some time to fully accept that I absolutely deserved this!!! Hopefuls out there, My advice to you is simple: be your beautiful self, stay positive, and Just. Keep. Swimming! 🐠💕
