In the face of unemployment, she was able to cheer up immediately and was admitted to three airlines by applying for "flight attendant";

She started to exercise at the age of 40, and kept her 20-year-old figure for ten years. She has done medical advertisements, underwear ads advertisements and cruise advertisements.

In her new position, she needs to speak English all the time. Because of her poor spoken English, she practiced from the beginning.

This is the real experience of Hu Hu, who is 50 years old and lives in Finland. 165438+1On October 28th, the upstream news connection interviewed this inspirational "girl". Her experience may be worth learning from.

Unemployed at the age of 50, he applied for flight attendants and was admitted by three airlines.

Hu Hu is 50 years old. In the common people's mind, this is the age of knowing destiny, but she doesn't think so.

According to Hu Hu, I grew up in Beijing and 1996 went to Finland to study, when I was less than 24 years old. After getting to know her boyfriend at that time and her current husband, Risto, she chose to settle in Finland. At the age of 32, I gave birth to my daughter Julia. Hu Hu received a bachelor's degree from Akkad University of Applied Sciences and a master's degree in service innovation and design from Larere University of Applied Sciences. Before the age of 40, she had been engaged in international trade-related work.

She lost her job for the first time when she was 40. She was fired because of the decline of the company. But she was not discouraged. Before receiving the notice, he went to an airline to submit his resume. On the afternoon of receiving the layoff notice, she went to the airline for an interview and passed it smoothly, becoming a flight attendant. Ten years of "air life" made her fall in love with this profession.

However, she did not expect that 10 years later, she would face unemployment again. In 2020, Hu Hu has served on the norwegian air shuttle Space Shuttle for more than six years. She explained that her airline is a small company affiliated with norwegian air shuttle Company. Due to the COVID-19 epidemic in 2020, airlines have to keep flying. At the end of 20021,the company informed the flight attendants to go back for an interview, but not all the more than 200 people interviewed were re-employed. Unfortunately, Hu Hu is one of the losers.

And her husband.

"After working for so many years, I really just want to fly back." Hu Hu said that when he learned that the day when he lost the election happened to be his daughter's birthday, he secretly cried and cleaned up his mood to spend his birthday with his daughter Julia, but he was depressed.

But this depression didn't affect her for long. In February 65438, she began to plan to apply for other airlines. To this end, she made a lot of preparations, searched online for interview skills of various airlines, and prepared to apply again. Soon, she applied for Lufthansa's Eurowing base in Sweden and told her that she had an interview.

Hu Hu recalled that on the day of the interview, she was almost one of the oldest applicants. After each round, someone will be notified to be eliminated. Fortunately, she was left behind. In early 2022, she signed up for an interview with a Nordic airline that cooperated with Finnair. Unlike the interview of Wings of Europe, Nora's interview was all in Finnish, and this time, she also passed the exam smoothly. In the end, she chose to go to "Wings of Europe".

At the end of June 2022, Hu Hu applied for a flight attendant at Finnair Sweden, successfully passed a two-week course and entered a new company. She said that Finnair operates long-haul flights through subcontractors in Sweden, including Airbus 330 and 350. Many flight attendants are Swedes, Finns and Southern Europeans, and they need to apply for a Swedish work visa. She is also the only China stewardess in the company. By the end of June this year 165438+ 10, she had been flying in New Airlines for three months, and her destination was changed from the United States to Doha, Qatar. She said that from the previous short-distance flight attendant to the current long-distance flight, it is indeed a new challenge for her at the age of 50.

At the age of 40, I started to exercise and became a graphic model.

If you ask Hu Hu, why does the airline want to recruit a flight attendant in her fifties, because her figure and appearance are well maintained? Then the answer is no, Hu Hu said. In Europe, there are no strict requirements for the age, figure and appearance of flight attendants. Airlines pay more attention to the service level and the mastery of aviation safety procedures.

On the other hand, Hu Hu is also confident in his body management. She said that when she was 4 1 year old, she developed a habit that had a great influence on her life-fitness. The reason for starting fitness is very strange. Because of work, she rested for three days, so she began to run tentatively and later made a series of fitness plans for herself. Hu Hu said that exercise has a great influence on her, and the whole person's figure and temperament seem to have changed obviously, which is the only secret for her to maintain an excellent posture until she is 50 years old.

When shooting advertisements for cruise brands,

Because of this, Hu Hu confidently devoted himself to a new field-advertising. A friend recommended that there were advertisements for models on the Internet, and she also signed up for a try. "There is no difference between the protagonist and the supporting role, that is, the model on the title page of the brochure." Hu Hu explained that she would be happy to be a graphic model anyway. Subsequently, she received several advertisements in succession. For example, the cruise brand Tallink, Finland Post POSTI and so on.

"Each award ranges from 200- 1000 euros." Hu Hu said that there is not much money, but he can still give himself some subsidies economically, and the income of local flight attendants is about 2,500 euros. What's more, I quite like the feeling of being on camera.

Hu Hu's daughter Julia is 18 years old this year. She said that no matter at work or in life, her mother is full of confidence and charm. Hu Hu's husband, Risto, made a joke when talking about his wife. He said that in daily life, his name is Hu Hu Mammutti, which is very similar to the pronunciation of "mom". Hu Hu readily accepted this nonsense nickname.

Hu Hu and his daughter

Hu Hu said that he has done a lot of things, but he never seems to have any long-term plans, just likes to do things well in front of him. Her current plan is to learn English well. In the previous working environment, what she needed most was Finnish. But since I got to my new post, English has become the most commonly used language. Hu Hu said that her spoken English has some accent, so she is worried about being laughed at. In order to improve her English, she found an English teacher and planned to learn from scratch.
