Interview with Paula Miruna Pagu, winner at Jetav contest

Here’s the story of a dream come true, the winner of the Jetav contest is Paula Miruna Pagu, with whom we are talking today!

“I am a responsible person, I work hard to achieve what I want, can adapt to many situations, work under pressure, I am organized, trustworthy, punctual, friendly and joyful.”

That’s what you told me about you when I asked you to describe yourself, and I really liked the level of seriousness and your attitude towards life, even if you are at the beginning of your adulthood. I also know that you are a student, a leader of your faculty group, you receive a scholarship for your good grades, that you have a license for sailplane and when you graduated from high school, you were the top with the highest grades.

 

You are the great winner of the contest organized by the Jetav Academy, how do you feel now?

I can not describe this feeling in words, I am extremely happy! I actually wanted to sign up for the course, but the contest was at the right time!

 

How did you find out about this contest and how did you decide to participate?

I learned about the contest on the “How to become a flight attendant” page, I constantly check it because there I find very useful information and they also post interviews that are going to be held. Without hesitation, I decided that I will sign up and I had a good feeling about the contest.

 

Was it your dream to make a career in aviation or was it an idea that came in the moment you decided to apply sign up to the contest?

It is my dream! Ever since my first encounter with aviation I wanted to spend my life “in the sky”. I was flying to Spain with my parents and before even landing I told my parents I want to become a flight attendant and did not give up that thought for not even a moment. Since then, I managed to take my license on the sailplane and this made my fall in love even more with aviation.

 

What are your expectations from this course, from our academy?

I want this course to prepare me in all aspects, to get the answers all my questions and to know what to do in any situation.

 

How you were welcomed by the academy and what are your first impressions of those who will be your teachers, I know that an award ceremony to which you attended along with your family?

That’s right, I attended the ceremony with my parents because they were happy just as much as I was and they constantly supported me. I felt from the first moments that I was warmly welcomed by wonderful and pasionate people. I am sure that the members of this accademy will make sure that I and every other student will receive complete training and that we will find a suitable job. I think I will make beautiful memories and also new friends.

 

 

Taking into consideration that you can start the course any time throughout the year, have you thought about when you want to start, how easy do you think it will be tom ove to Bucharest in this period?

I would like to start in the first session, the one that starts in February. I am very excited and curious! I am a person who can easily adapt to changes, I don’t think it will be difficult for me to stay in Bucharest, I also have some friends with whom I can spend my free time, and others from Brasov who will come to visit me. Moreover, as far as I know, Jetav Academy offers accommodation during the course so it will be easy for me.

 

Do you already have a plan of what you will do after the graduation? How do you think this diploma can help you in getting a job as a cabin crew member?

After graduation I want to take part in the interviews and as soon as possible. I believe that the cabin crew member certificate has a significant value for the employer in view of the selection of the candidates because it proves a higher training of the candidate that will be considered a plus. The Jetav graduates I met at the ceremony told me that Mrs. Mihaela Nastase accompanies all students at the Authority’s examinations and she is with them until they get hired, after which they keep in touch as a family.

Please describe me how you were before starting the course and let’s imagine another you, the one with a cabin crew member licence holder!

So before starting the course I had a lot of questions and things to learn. After I take the crew member license I will have the necessary knowledge and will succeed in achieving my goal!

 

Thank you and I am waiting for you again after completing the course with your feedback!

Thank you! I will definately do that!
