Dear Kim Anne
In the Open Day held in Buenos Aires this year there was people in your situation, the recruiters said that those who would turn 20 in the next 6 months could stay in the room. So... Give it a try dear!!!
what criteria did I require at the opening day?

The opening day in Birmingham
Having failed to get called on the last Sat( the opening LGW), I've decided to have a go again and am going to the another opening day in Birmingham this week. I have been feeling pretty devastated and upset since then but I will never give up(!)
Please, would anyone give me a tip for the day as I haven't got a clue as to why I failed last week
and it would be much much apreciated.
Cheers everyone¬
Btw, do I have to have my pics professionally done before I submit them?
I wonder whether my pics didn't look professional enough.

grapefruit!
do not get depressed, i went through the whole thing as you did too: went to the OD and assessment day and failed, got depressed but didnt give up and went to another one later and there i was chosen. so the only thing i can say is dont give up, try to read as much as you can on how things go (read the whole thread on this forum!) and try to appear the kind of person they are looking for.
i think the key to the open day is your appearance: smile like crazy, be confident and look like their flight attendants, be extremely friendly. if you do that they usually call you back...
if the photo is not professional enough they will tell you later on anyways, but try not to give them one on which youre on the beach in a swim suit XD i made my photos myself but exactly how they requested us to do them (posture and clothes i meant, open smile)
good luck on your next time!!!

hi jackofan
im really sorry to hear all that. sadly i cant say any more than what i have: its all about appearance on the OD, if you fit for being a CC by appearance or not, thats also a reason why they dont really talk to you and if they do, usually they just check if you can speak english in a nice way with a nice CC manner XD maybe they just also take a quick look at your previous jobs to see if you fit in their range (e.g. if u were an office worker it might not work out..)
about nationality issue or being from somewhere, definitely not. it has nothing to do with the recruitment and indeed sometimes its even better because you speak one more language. i was attending ODs in buenos aires and belgrade and im from hungary..
good luck next time guys!

Hi Jackofan,
Oop
I'm much much older than you. If that's the reason, I'll be very angry.
as they should have put an age limit indicating which applicants will not be accepted.
What a waste of time and energy we've spent(!)
I still hope that's not the case though
I'm just about to have my photos done to get ready by this Sat. Let's see how it goes in Birmingham this time. If it still doesn't work, who should I blame but myself
Let's pray for ourselves..

They can't put an upper age limit officially because that would be discrimination in Europe. It would be the same if they only put down in the add that they will only be recruiting girls. I can't remember which airline it was but they did it in Australia once and were told by the authorities if they ever wanted to recruit their again they also had to recruit boys and stop their "discrimination".
Age matters a bit but people over their 30's have got through.

Grapefruit75 and Jakofan
They also will take a look at your CV in the OD, it is important to have expereience in cutomer services, but do not lie in your cv or resume because they ask you to bring to doha certificates or reference letters of previous employers as a proof.
Keep trying: it is an advantage now that you have the experience of an Open Day, you are much better prepared now for the next opportunity!
Cheers and good luck
Hey Usagi, best luck for you too, I bet you are very nervous waiting for an aswer!!!
Oh and I´m 28 and I did it!!

i've been waiting over 4 months!
it's very complicated,
just waiting for my iron levels to come down
as i had an iron infusion
(because i didnt have enough iron,
and i now have too much!)
should be ready soon though.
the wait is so painful!
trust me, i know how you feel.
it will be worth it when we get there though.
what's your story?
