Every single day that comes and goes, positions within the travel and tourism industry become increasingly competitive, and this is why an adequate preparation for interviews and job presentations is becoming an essential ingredient for success. We should not be afraid of interviews, as we should not be afraid of things that we do in the realm of extreme sports: One of the cases that evokes all sorts of fear is that of aircraft aerobatics, for seeing a daring pilot performing extreme and apparently dangerous movements with an aircraft makes fear grow in the minds of many spectators, including experienced pilots. Indeed, aerobatics, as any other radical activity, could be performed in a very unsafe way; however, fear in such cases comes mainly from a lack of experience in the trade, lack of knowledge and practice. Probably most pilots will agree that they confronted similar fears the first time their instructor at their first flight school course told them to perform a 'stall,' which is the name of what happens when your plane stops flying and then falls like a brick. In order to do that, the simplest way is to put carburettor heat on to prevent the formation of ice, cut the throttle, and adopt a certain attitude with the aircraft, slowly raising the nose and keeping the wings levelled until the speed becomes so low that there is no lift Then, the aircraft begins to fall, you lower the nose, apply power, take carburettor heat off and recover. Sounds easy, but scary. It is easy indeed. There is nothing dramatic, like in the movies, about a plane stalling; people have the idea from TV and the cinema that passengers 'knowing' that they are falling start screaming while heroic stewardesses try to save them and pilots desperately stick to their yokes. However, commercial aircraft stall all the time while they pass 'air bumps' and passengers eat their lunch. Now, if the captain would tell them that they are stalling, everyone would indeed begin to panic. The fact is that most of the times we get scared because of preconceived ideas; this happens all the time, even before job interviews. Practice and experience, even if it is simulated, will help anyone conquer such fears. |
