Textiles Minister Smriti Irani’s first choice for a job was at Jet Airways.
She, however, got rejected for lacking a “good personality.”
My application for cabin crew position was rejected by Jet Airways, who felt I didn’t have a good personality.
Speaking at an awards function organised by the Air Passengers Association of India, Irani laughed as she thanked Jet for rejecting her.
“I don’t know if many people know that one of the first jobs that I wanted and I lined up for was cabin crew at Jet. I was rejected because I was told I don’t have a good personality. Thank God for your rejection. After that, I got a job at McDonald’s and the rest is history.”
