Content of your resume
As mentioned in my previous blog, a resume is a selling tool that outlines what you have to offer to your future employer. The content of your resume is very important. A successful resume for a flight attendant position should include the followings:
1. Personal information such as your name, address, phone number and email. Make sure you double check your personal information!!! It is not uncommon for applicants to mistype their email address and didn’t get contacted for an interview!
2. Your career objective statement. You should state that you are interested in the flight attendant / cabin crew position (depending on how the airline calls it) with the specific airline. This statement should be very specific. An example would be: Applying for a flight attendant position with ABC airline using customer service experience and a proven ability to apply excellent communication and interpersonal skills. Something like “to pursue a career in the aviation industry” is too generic. Also, please state the airline’s name; this shows that you are not sending the same resume to all the airlines of interest!
