Application "Buzz Words"
 

Hello everyone. New to the forum so please excuse my ignorance if it shows...

I'm reading through all the information on here regarding major airline applications...a ton of info. What I didn't see was a list of "buzz words".

I'm asking because of information I've got from numerous sources regarding (mostly Delta) looking for certain phrases in your application... "Servant Leadership" is the one I've heard from Delta.

So...(1) Do the airlines still look for these and, if so, (2) is there a current list for each company?

Thanks for the help!

1. yes
2. no


Give the details why you're doing more than the bottom rung slug in your unit.

Don't use 'teach' 12x. There's a ton of words that can be more accurate, like 'instruct', 'mentor', 'lead', 'organize', etc that you can use for different responsibilities.

You get 5 extra points added to your Delta application score if you can mix in the phrase "Gate latency".

It goes without saying that your application is immediately tossed if you don't use the words "double breasted" somewhere .

Use the list of adjectives in the Tounge and Quill...those will help.

Use the term "I wish to be hired, not acquired " then tell them you're a navy guy and blah blah blah. In like flint!

Damn it! So that's why Delta never called. I had "Asian Hooker", "8-ball", and "Donkey Show", and thought I was golden.

I predict this thread to...

1) Go to at least 10 pages
2) Be hilarious

As with any job, look at the company core values and the job announcement. Try to work those into your resume and application inputs.

Your tour to Korea or vacation to Mexico should be saved for the personality/psych assessment. Remember, they are looking for people that will be fun to sit next to on a 4 day trip...Feel free to embellish.

I hear that using "Cleveland Steamer" on the Delta app will result in an instant interview email....

Lol awesome.

1. Thanks for the input.
2. Added "double breasted"... "gate latency" ... and put myself on the next Thailand mission for more professional development.
3. The tongue & quill has never had anything relevant to add to anything....ever

Placeholder until FTB/80 can make us a better one.

I don't see "honeybadger" on that chart.

"Management butt kisser" is a HR winner regardless of industry. This is stated as "I never saw a mgmt decision I disagreed with and feel the job I'm interviewing for should be paid less."

And if you REALLY want the job, somehow work in that you hate being a white male, too.

Too Funny!
So very sad that it is true.....

remember, life is about love and connections, not these dirty sanchez, the rusty trombones or the cincinatti bowties.

try that as your intro

If you tell them you are not going into the ANG/AFRES and have never been sick they will probably give you even more points

"Work, work, work..."

Currently disease free with no active flare ups

Ask if the interview is being conducted within 500 feet of a school.

"Never convicted of anything."

I've always included body measurements to prove I can fit into the double breasted jacket. I measure everything.

But can you button it with one hand?:D

Thats a trick question. If you leave your hat on your bag you don't have to button it true story. :cool:

"Twig and berries" gets you bonus points on the Southwest app.

A picture of your kitten fur scuffies gets you an immediate invite.

Hey Tony, enough funny talk from you.

Thanks everyone for all the great input, I have tried but really can't see a place to put all these awesome buzz words in my resume. However, I have drafted them in my last paragraph of my cover. Looking for any suggestions. Thanks.

In conclusion, as an unconvicted young white male who is currently disease free with no active flare ups, has never been sick, can appreciate a good donkey show or cleveland steamer and who can enhance the mentorship of young boys to wear a double breasted blazer while working in a tight box, I fully believe I can genuinely support management decisions while working for less at the same time being more productive. Thank you very much for your time, I look forward to further discussing my qualifications with you at a later date.

I think I have a great chance, wish all of you luck. ;)

That's awesome. But I didn't see any mention of the Cincinnati bow-tie or dirty Sanchez. Do you really want an interview or not. Quit wasting our time, man. :)
