Pre-Interview Preparation.

-Research the airline’s story, values, and destinations

-Understand their grooming and service standards

-Be ready to answer:

    • “Why do you want to be cabin crew?”

    • “Why this airline?”

    • “Tell me about yourself.”

    • Practice eye contact, posture, and your tone of voice

📝 Pro Tip: Rehearse in front of a mirror—or even better, book a mock session with a coach.

Grooming & Appearance Tips

  • Stick to neutral, well-pressed business attire

  • Closed-toe heels for women, polished leather shoes for men

  • Minimal accessories, clean nails, no overpowering perfume or cologne

  • Women: Neat bun or French twist, light makeup, red lipstick if required

  • Men: Clean-shaven or neatly groomed beard, tidy haircut

📝 Why it matters: Recruiters notice everything. If they can already picture you in uniform, that’s a strong start.

Your Document Checklist.

No Surprises. Bring Everything.

  • Updated, grammatically clean CV

  • Passport copy, valid for at least 6 months

  • Full-length and passport-size photos, airline standards only

  • Educational certificates

  • Previous job experience certificates, if available

📝 Pro Tip: Keep hard copies in a tidy folder—and save digital versions too.

Assessment Day Tips.

How to Shine from the First Step In

  • Arrive 30–45 minutes early—timing matters

  • Be friendly, observant, and collaborative in group exercises

  • For the reach test: remove your shoes and stretch up to 212 cm

  • Speak clearly and stay calm during presentations

  • Pack a light snack and water to stay sharp

📝 Remember: They’re not looking for perfect—they’re looking for professional, composed, and genuine.

Confidence Is Your Co-Pilot

They May Forget Your Words—But Not Your Energy

  • A warm smile and relaxed posture can speak louder than your CV

  • Don’t panic if others are eliminated—stay centered on your journey

  • Stop comparing. Your strength is your story

📝 Mindset Tip: It’s okay to be nervous. Just focus on showing up as your most prepared, authentic self.
