Add You - Corporate Flight Attendant Resume
You are in the middle of an important interview and are confident that you are doing an excellent job of presenting your skills and qualifications for the position. The interviewer asks the next question – and it’s a difficult one. You didn’t see this question coming and have no idea to answer it. Words catch in your mouth. You start to sweat as your illustrious visions of landing your dream job are rapidly spiraling away at a breakneck speed. What do you do?For starters, the best offense is a good defense. Preparing for an interview in advance is the best way to ensure that you will be at your peak performance when the time comes to answer the question “Why should you get this job?”. Compile a list of interview questions, both general questions and those that are job-specific, that you could potentially be asked. Then practice answering all of the questions. It may be necessary to
College and universities are key institutions where many get their first try at crafting a r?sum?. I like what the University at Buffalo School of Management has to say about writing a r?sum?:

“I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” --Maya AngelouReferrals. Everyone wants ‘em, but few are willing to ask for them for fear of seeming pushy, desperate or sleazy. If you ask self-employed individuals how they would ideally like to build their businesses, they would tell you ‘by word of mouth.’ Why? Because… It’s an ongoing, renewable process.You don’t have to spend money on advertising.Referrals most often end up being high quality clients.You don’t have to build trust from scratch; it’s built for you.You don’t have to sell yourself (someone already did that).They come to you already pre-sold and often ready to buy. Can’t beat it. But why are referrals so elusiv
There is no "one-size fits all" r?sum? that will guarantee success. In my many years of reviewing pilot and, later, flight attendant r?sum?s I have seen submitted everything from multipage treatises to two paragraph summations. As a private flight attendant, your r?sum? should fall somewhere in between: a one page copy is the preferred length in this industry.
The top part of your r?sum? must include the following:
1. Your name
2. Your complete address: house or apartment number, street, city, state, zip and country if applying internationally.
3. Your home phone number.
4. Your cell phone or secondary number such as a fax machine.
5. Your email address.
This first bit of information should be centered for easy reading and your copy should be on white or off white paper. No fancy fonts, no loud colors, nothing to make it stand out. Why? More than likely it will be trashed if it is not visually appealing. Trust me: in business aviation, which is generally a very conservative field, the flamboyant self promoter is often ignored.
What follows next is open to debate. Some human resources people insist that you need an Objective on your r?sum? while others do not. If you do include an Objective, please write a strong and positive statement about your career and job objective, concentrating on your strengths and how you can add value to a potential employer. When creating your objective, use clear and concise language. One of the advantages of including an Objective is that it tends to set the tone for the entire r?sum?. Leaving one out is sometimes preferable if you are applying for different positions. Always state in the Objective what you can contribute to the company and not what you want to get out of the job or the company.
After you write your Objective, you should follow up with your work history. Instead of centering the remaining information, align your copy to the left of the page.
Work History: Please, if you have been working for many years, you might want to consider limiting your information to the last ten years. A r?sum? is not your job history, rather it is a summation of who you are and what you bring to the table. Save the nitty gritty details for the application form. This is particularly important if you are over 40: do not kid yourself by thinking that age discrimination does not occur. You want to get the interview and then you can work on getting the job during the interview. In some situations you will not even get the interview if someone finds out that you are 49. Is this legal? Usually, no. Is it provable? You probably will never find out.
Training: After including your work history, you will need to list your training. If you completed FACTS, Alteon, FlightSafety, Beyond and Above, etc. then spell it out. Include training locations, dates, and a brief synopsis of the training. For example, "emergency egress training, emergency medical procedures, food safety and culinary arts, wine service, etc." Do not write several paragraphs but do include some information about what was accomplished during your training. Taking other types of training related to the field can and should be mentioned as well including: food service, wine courses, language training, etc. The training section could easily be titled "Education" and include college degrees and other post high school training as well.
References: Please do not include references on your r?sum?! If you feel the need to mention references, please conclude your r?sum? with something like this: References furnished upon request. That's it. Nothing fancy. If you do mention that references will be included at a later time please make sure that you have at least three, be prepared to present them upon request, and make sure your references know that you are using them as references.
Hobbies: Hmmm.... I am not sure why some people feel the need to include details on how they spend their free time. Perhaps they are trying to tell the person reading the r?sum? that they are a well rounded person. In my opinion, save those details for your interview.
Other personal information: In most states giving out one's marital status, age, height and weight is illegal. If you are applying for work overseas the company or agency may want this information in addition to a full length picture of yourself and a headshot. I have heard objections from some about this particular practice. Remember: the U.S. Bill of Rights stops at our borders. If you want to work internationally, you must respect local laws and customs. Your opinion will probably not shape what they want; if you do not like it then do not apply.

Nowadays, there are lots of companies that conduct employment screening as part of their hiring process. Some companies even hire private investigation agencies to conduct background check of the applicant to verify the information stated in his or her job application. However, these private agencies have to follow certain rules and regulations while conducting the background searches. These regulations are often stated in various federal employment screening laws.Federal employment screening laws are designed to protect the welfare of the applicants to some extent when the employer or the private agency hired conducts background investigation. That is why, companies should be aware of these laws as well as the different employment screening companies that provide pre-employment screening services.The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990The Americans with Disabilities Act o

Do you know of someone who’s unemployed? Do you find it difficult to support them? When a friend or relative is unemployed, we often don’t know the best way to support them or know the right thing to say. We try to be encouraging, and supportive, and sometimes end up saying the wrong thing and come across as being hurtful. Following are some tips on how you can help.If they had a job, they’d tell you – please don’t ask every time you see them. Be sensitive. Offer to have them over for dinner or for a movie, card playing or other inexpensive, yet fun entertainment. Could you barter for services with them? The unemployed person needs to feel needed. Do they have expertise in an area that could be helpful to you like computer skills, child care, carpentry or car maintenance skills?Check with sources you know who could help them like your place of work, relatives, and friends.

The Disneyland Hotel recently tarnished Mickey’s reputation with an influential customer from Seattle. Mark stayed at a hotel inside the park with his family for three days. He attended a legal seminar while his family enjoyed Disney rides, ate Disney meals and spent at Disney plenty! His seminar ended at noon on the third day, but hotel checkout was 11:00 am.On the second night Mark asked for a late check-out until 1:00 or 2:00 pm the following day. Staff at the front desk refused to give him an answer. They said it was too late and he would have to ask again at 7:00 am.Mark was in the lobby promptly at 7:00 am. But when he asked for a short check-out extension, the front office manager flatly refused. He said, ‘If I give you a late check out, others will want one, too.’Mark appealed for just two hours to complete his seminar and get his family with small children safely pack

Most people would prefer to have their own business than to work as an employee for someone else. There are many reasons for this. One of these reasons is very obvious: the power to choose what kind of work to do and how, when and where it can be done. Self-driven individuals prefer that they are their own boss since they would not have to report to anybody. Also, whatever course of action they would like to take in directing the business could be easily done without anybody else's permission. For most people, having a business to call their own is a dream come true.However, looking closely into the scheme of things, you will realize that there are many things to do when starting your own business. There are also many things to consider when it comes to maintaining a business and keeping it running like a well-oiled machine. Not all people are naturally gifted with business acumen, so befor

Have others proofread your copy and do not be offended by their suggestions or comments. Consider all comments and suggestions for possible changes to your r?sum?; if you are rigid about your r?sum? you may be too rigid for this industry. Remember, there is no "one-size fits all" r?sum?; your copy, however, should accurately reflect what you are all about and what you can do for the company.
