1. Research the airlines. Get the basic info from their
About us page or Wikipedia. Decide if that specific
airline is what you are looking for in an employer.
2. Look for the basic requirements and only go to the
recruitment events if you meet them. There is no point
in dreaming you will get the job if you have a tattoo on
your neck or you are too short to reach the required
height mark.
3. Research the country where the airline is based and
decide if a life there is a good fit for you. Living in the
Middle East might be a dream for some but not an
acceptable option for others.
4. Understand the lifestyle and only go for it if it suits you.
Being a flight attendant requires you to be flexible with
your working hours, weekends and holidays. Is this
something you are willing to do?
5. Browse the recruitment events and decide if you want to
wait until something comes up in your country or you
are willing to travel for the interviews.
6. Find out what is expected from you during the
recruitment event.
Prepare your application

7. Build your CV in a simple manner. When you go for an
Open Day, the recruiters spend only one minute reading
your resume.
8. Simplify and delete all that is not necessary. You
shouldnt have more than 3-4 bullet points for each job
description.
9. CV should not be longer than 1 page. Dont give anybody
a chance to yawn while they read in the greatest detail
what a waitress does. We only want to know what YOU
are doing. What sets you apart from the other people
doing the same job?
10.Print your resume on white paper. Simple and elegant.
11.Invest in a set of professional photographs. When your
application is in a pile in front of a person who never saw
you, it is ideal they see you looking amazing and can
immediately picture you wearing their uniform.
12.Choose a business attire while taking the photos.
Ladies: skirt suit, collared shirt, high heel shoes and
pantyhose, hair tied in a bun and simple makeup.
Gentlemen: suit in a dark color, shirt and tie, polished
shoes, short hair and elegantly groomed.
13.Take the passport photo in the same time with the full
length photo.
14.If the airline requires a casual photo, do not provide

anything that might look unprofessional: smoking,
drinking, in a bathing suit or wearing sun glasses.
15.SMILE
16.Request printed copies of your photographs, as well as
soft copies for your online application.
17. Reserve 1 full hour in your schedule to complete the
online application in one time. You are much more likely
to be successful when you dont procrastinate.
18.Use a professional email address in the following format
yourname@mail.com
19.Fill in all the required fields, paying extra attention to
the ones marked with *. They are compulsory.
20.Always save before going to the next step.
Assessment Day
21.There is no minimum or maximum number of people
who will be hired. The best of the group will be chosen,
regardless of how many candidates participate in the
event.
22.Prepare in advance the required documents. They are
not needed in the initial stage of the selection process,
but things will move fast and you dont want to run
around trying to find your diplomas and making copies
just before your final interview.
23.Find out where is the location of the interview and what
route you have to drive, or what public transport to use
both for going and coming back home.
24.Rest before the big day. As much as you can...
25.Bring some water, snacks, pens and a writing pad.
26.Prepare for a long day. It will be intense to go through
all the stages of the assessment day.
27.Dress in a smart business attire, similar to the one you
used for taking the photos. You want to look
professional and resemble a flight attendant already.
28.Use comfortable shoes.
29.Arrive at the location at least 30 minutes earlier. You

would want to absorb the surroundings, glimpse at the
other candidates and even have a coee.
30.Talk to the people around you. Make acquaintances. Say
Hello and introduce yourself.
31.Do not pay too much attention to the gossip. There will
be people who have been through an assessment day
before and they know it all or people who heard from a
friend that there is a certain way you should behave.
Ignore them!
32.Be friendly and polite with everybody. The assessors will
be monitoring you even during the breaks.
33.Turn o your phone or activate the silent mode. Do not
reply to text messages or update your Facebook page as
the assessment progresses.
34.Pay attention to the information that is communicated
to you. You might need it later.
35.Take notes. It will be useful before the interview. It also
shows you are interested.
36.Ask relevant questions if given the opportunity.
37.If you already know the people who are in your group,
approach them and remind them that the key to a
successful group exercise is cooperation. Work together.
38.It is normal to be nervous. It shows that getting this job

is important to you. Dont worry about showing it in
front of the interviewers.
39.Be aware of your tone of voice. Do not talk too fast, too
loud or too soft.
40.During the group exercise, use simple words when
addressing your colleagues. Dierent people will have
dierent levels of English. Your aim is to be understood
by all.
41.Be mindful of your body language. Your gestures say
more than words.
42.Dont take charge.
43.Dont be the only one talking. If you find yourself in this
situation, try to shift the focus to another colleague:
This is my opinion. What do you think Mary?
44.Try to include in the conversation the people who are
left out.
45.Volunteer for one part of the task. Ideally it will be
something you are passionate about and your expertise
will contribute to the success of the group.
46.Dont be tempted to participate in conflicts or take
sides.
47.The task and its result are not as important as how you
worked together as a group and how you communicated
with each other to reach your result.
48.Maintain eye-contact with all members of the group,
not just with one.
49.Dont sneak peek at the assessors or at the other group.
You will not be able to read their reactions. Focus on
what you have to do.
50.To prepare for the English Test, practice reading
English every day, watch English TV channels or movies
without subtitles.
51.Read the full text to get a general idea of what is
required from you.
52.If you have a multiple-choice test, come up with your
own answer first, then look at the given options.
53.Write short, simple sentences. Use correct grammar. If
you are not comfortable using complicated words or
complex sentence building, just keep it simple.
54.Mind the quality of your hand writing. You want the
assessors to understand what you wrote.
55.Dont worry about the Math test. All you need is basic
arithmetic.
56.Do all the calculations on the paper, just like you used to
do in school.
57.Take your time double check your results at least two
times.
58.When filling the personality profile test, be truthful.
59.Trust your instinct and go with the first choice that
comes into your mind.
Final Interview
60.Sleep early.
61.Read the Final Interview Questions and Answers for the
last time before you go in.
62.Be prepared! No question should come as a surprise.
63.Your nerves will pass when the conversation starts
flowing. You are dealing with professionals who will
make your feel at ease.
64.Maintain eye contact, but dont stare.
65.Be specific in your examples. If you are asked for more
details, give them.
66.If you need some time to think about an answer, tell the
interviewers you need a minute.
67.Dont complain about your former colleagues.
68.Dont start talking about your personal life. The
interview is strictly about your work environment and
ethics.
69.Dont badmouth your previous or current company.
70.You can never talk too much about how pleased your
customers were.
71.Keep your answers short and professional.

72.Dont deviate from the topic of discussion. Answer to
the point. If the interviewer needs more details, he will
ask you to elaborate.
73.Have an upbeat and positive attitude. We all want to
work with people who are happy.
74.Thank the interviewer for their time.
75.Ask how do they think you performed during the
interview. This might be one of the most important
feedback (and maybe the only one) you get.
76.Establish how to contact them and when is it
appropriate to do so.
77.Exchange email addresses and phone numbers with the
rest of the candidates who made it to the Final Interview.
After the assessment

78.Stop obsessing and overanalyzing every thing you said or
did during the interview.
79.Dont go on cabin crew forums to discuss your interview
performance and ask peoples opinion if you made it or
not.
80.Be patient! If you were informed that you will receive
an answer within 6 weeks, it will take 6 weeks to get it.
81.Answer the phone when a foreign number comes up.
This is the good news.
82.See your family doctor before you start the required
medical tests.
83.Discuss with your family how do they feel about your
relocating.
84.Pack lightly and dont forget you must have adequate
business attire for the first weeks of training.

plan to keep in touch.

departure.
87.When checking-in for your flight, ask the airline

representative if there are any other new joiners
traveling in the same flight.
88.Do not set up a timeframe for your new career. If you go
with the idea that you will stay 3 years until you saved
enough money to buy an apartment in your country, you
will not enjoy this amazing new life. Just think that you
will stay as long as you enjoy waking up every morning to
go to work.
Good for life

prejudgement.

day in your life.
