    Question: How do you feel about taking the initiative at work rather than just following instructions?

    It is definitely important at easyJet to be able to follow to instructions, especially as we treat safety as the number one priority. However, in appropriate circumstances we want everyone in our team to be comfortable making decisions and taking control of situations. With experience, you are likely to become better at spotting when it is best to take a proactive approach. This could be particularly important should you wish to progress to roles such as Cabin Manager. Consider how you will know when to take the initiative and when to follow instructions closely.
    It is definitely important at easyJet to be able to follow to instructions, especially as we treat safety as the number one priority. There are likely to be situations where you would benefit from making your own decisions, especially once you begin to get some experience with us. This could be particularly important should you wish to progress to roles such as Cabin Manager. Consider your level of comfort making decisions and taking the lead at times.
    While we value initiative and independence, it is often important that instructions are adhered to. For example, safety is a number one priority, and as such you must follow all rules around this. However, if you are able to choose the appropriate opportunities to take the lead and provide guidance for others, this is likely to be effective in your role and should you wish to progress within easyJet. Consider how much independence you would need in your role and whether you would be happy if you had to strictly adhere to several rules.

    Question: A new colleague who has just joined the team is having their first flight today. They are going to give the safety demonstration with another colleague. The new member seems pale and you suspect that they are nervous. How would you react?

    We want our team to take the initiative in supporting and developing each other.

    easyJet's environment encourages crew to support each other and to face difficulties together. Taking the initiative to support and develop others will lead to a more positive environment for all involved, especially as you are working with lots of different and diverse colleagues. Think about how you would feel proactively offering support and insight even when it is not specifically asked from you. Are you still happy to support even when your team may change regularly?
    We want our team to take the initiative in supporting and developing each other. Working effectively involves looking to help colleagues improve and enjoy themselves more. Running the demonstration in their place may help on this occasion but is unlikely to be a longer term fix. Think about how you can not only support others, but help them develop to be the best they can be - even when you might not work with the same people on a frequent basis.
