......or even 'computer's spell and grammar checker.'

People in glass houses etc.

As to the question asked - there are lots of avenues open to ex-crew. You have, very probably, acquired excellent people skills and demonstrated that you can work in a team environment. These are sought after attributes; you might like to consider that when looking for another career.

Taken from elsewhere on these forums:

If you're CV says " Flight attendant - looked after passengers" then no one will give you a second look.

If you put some spin on it and say "Flight attendant - As a highly customer oriented team player for a high end premium international carrier, I was not only responsible for customer safety, I also fulfilled customer expectaitions to corporate standards, while using my initiative to manage unexpected situations. I have highly developed communication skills, essential when dealing with cultural differences from all over the world. This role requires expert knowledge of products, procedures and standards, all of which change on a frequent basis. I am excited by the prospect of bringing these people skills into a new arena etc etc etc....."

Potential employers will sit up and listen - as a FA you have great people skills so use them to sell yourself.



I used it for my CV nd I don't fly anymore
