Just follow Scroggs advice and you won't go far wrong.

If you are the right side of good looking then attach a photo - otherwise don't.

If you are a youngster ( <22 ) then one of the best things you can do regards a CV is to find 5 people who are in positions of responsibility and give them your CV and ask for a critique. Your Dad, your Dads Boss, same for your Mums Boss + a couple of friends of the family etc. In the same vein and if they are oblidging then I would ask for some practice interviews.

Most people will be flattered and I BET you know someone who regularly interviews people for jobs. They don't need to know a damn thing about the airline business. If you have never been for a proper job interview before you may be suprised by just how tongue tied and cack handed you can be when under the spotlight on the wrong side of the interview desk.

Their feedback comments on your speech and non-verbal mannerisms might be invaluable when the time comes for you to impress at your first airline interview.

So many Wannabe worry about which school they went to or whether they passed Met with 85%+.

Most of that is worthless rubbish - whereas - the fact you say Ummmm incessantly or just flap when asked why you are better than the other 6 guys in the outside waiting room will make or break your job prospects. As will those nasty unpolished ex-sixth form shoes you thought you could get away with...
