Be willing to perform other activites related to your function.
Be in the possession of a swimming diploma (3 different levels of swimming proficiency diplomas in the Netherlands, with varying requirements).

Fill in the questionnaire to find out if you're what we're looking for.

Check box that you agree with their privacy statement, and click Versturen.

Next page: If you get the following message: Je voldoet aan de door Transavia.com gestelde basis eisen! It means:

You satisfy Transavia.com’s basic requirements!

It then moves on to state:
We gladly invite you to fill in the form below. After receiving your application, as Unique representative will contact you for an interview/conversation. The fields marked with a * are obligatory.

Achternaam (last name)
Voorna(a)m(en) (first name/names)
Not sure what Roepnaam is, but I believe they mean nickname
Adres = address
Postcode = postal code
Woonplaats = place of residence/town
Geboortedatum = date of birth
Geboorteplaats: place of birth
Geslacht = gender (man = male, vrouw = female)
Telefoonnummer = phone number
Extra (mobiel) telefoonnummer = additional phone number/mobile number
E-mail adres = e-mail address
Lengte = height
Confectiemaat = clothing size
Sterkte van bril of lenzen = prescription strenght of contacts or lenses
Not sure about Hoogst genoten afgeronde opleiding, but think it means Highest level of (secondary or higher) education completed (I don’t have my Dutch dictionary with me)
In bezit van rijbewijs = in possession of a driver’s license
In bezit van swemdiploma = in possession of a swimming diploma
Heb je eerder bij Transavia als Cabin Attendant gevlogen = Have you flown with Transavia as a cabin attendant before

Then there’s a statement that they assume you are being truthful and that if it is later in the employment process shown that you are not they have the right to end the employment/application process. The Unique agency is handling the application process for Transavia, and your information will be sent to them. Your personal information is confidential, and will only be used for this application. And then a check box that you understand the above.

Hope this helps
