Q: How much will I get paid?
A: Airlines pay Flight Attendants in several ways. You will earn both a base salary as well as an hourly wage. You may also be paid through incentive programs and per diem. One of the things that makes this career so incredible is the control you have over making money. You can essentially work as much or as little as you want, depending on your seniority and/or the airline you choose to work for. Find out more by purchasing our flight attendant guide, Sky High Careers: Your Guide to Becoming a Flight Attendant.
Q: Do I have to have previous Flight Attendant experience in order to be hired?
A: No. Airlines do not require previous experience as they will train you as per their standards. However, having some Flight Attendant experience will give your application an edge over other applicants. You may be pleasantly surprised to learn that you may already have the flight attendant qualities airlines look for. The flight attendant guide, Sky High Careers: Your Guide to Becoming a Flight Attendant, will show you how to find these qualities in yourself and within your experiences and how to list them on your resume and talk about them successfully in your interview.
Q: Why is it beneficial to have my resume professionally rebuilt?
A: Most airlines use scanners to look for qualified resumes from the thousands of applications they receive. These scanners are programmed to find specific words and/or phrases and those resumes that lack them are never even looked at! Having your resume rebuilt to include these words and phrases will help your application get noticed and increase your chance for an interview! You will learn how to professionally build your resume to include these key words and phrases in our flight attendant guide.
Q: How difficult is it to get hired by an airline?
A: Most airlines hire between 1-5 percent of applicants. There is no doubt this is a competitive job! This is also why it is important for you to set yourself apart from the rest with the qualities and experience airlines look for in Flight Attendant candidates.
Q: How can I get the 8 Flight Attendant qualities and ensure my application gets reviewed?
A: Sky High Careers: Your Guide to Becoming a Flight Attendant discusses the 8 Flight Attendant qualities in depth and shows you not only how to identify them in yourself and your experiences, but also how to develop these qualities and how to properly include them on your resume, thereby giving you an advantage over other applicants. You may already have most of them but need coaching on how to bring them to the forefront in your resume and interview!
Q: What else do I need to have to attract attention to my application?
A: Although airlines do not require "previous Flight Attendant experience," the addition of such experience on your resume can help put your application to the top of the pile. But this is because airlines can trust that such a candidate already possesses the qualities they are looking for.... qualities that you may already have, but may not know how to identify them in yourself and your experiences or how to properly include them in your resume. Our flight attendant guide will teach you how to do this to ensure your application gets properly noticed!
