The World's No#1 Resource For Cabin Crew
Very good advice. I am a flight attendant at a Major United States Airline. I will say that never, at any US Airline I have ever interviewed with was I asked for a CV or a Photo. I believe photos by law are not allowed in the United States for interviewing practices. I was always asked for a resume but never ever asked for a photo. Hope this is helpful to some of the applicants. Everything else she said is on point though even at US Airlines.
Hey Jeremy, thanks for watching and for your contribution. It is true that in the US the rules are different, however in the Middle East, the photos are still a compulsory part of the recruitment process. It might change in the future but we aren't there yet :) ... Take care for now and blue skies!
Thank you so much for this video I have an open house next week and this video has helped me prepare.
thanks a lot for these valuable advice!
very good tips, thank you
Thank you for this Monica! 😊
I remember watching ur videos three years back out of a firm desire to be QR cabin crew...ut was really helpful and learnt manyyy things from u..Thanks for all ur efforts from QR CREW ENJOYING 3 YEARS FLYING AND STILL MORE TO GO!!
This video is brilliant especially to see it the night before an assessment day with an airline
Me right now hahaha
Eytan Bittan Good luck 🍀 at your interview, what is the airline you're going for?

THANK YOU
WAS SO HELPFUL I LIKE YOUR WAY,,,
Very informative video
This will help me a lot upon applying soon
thank you so much ma'am and this video will be very helpful to me for cabin crew interview. thank you so much
very nice tips thanks
grooming and clothing is always so stressed and you mentioned it among top mistakes, but again i have to mention my QR open day experience; there were people completely totally in an unappropriate dress like disco clothes, casual, free time, party, tons of jewelery, hair not tied up, jeans, very short skirts, really high high heels etc list goes on. Not all, but some of these passed all stages and even got the final interview. i was in complete shock. how was that even possible???
Hi winter july, we have seen such cases and also mentioned it in the Qatar Airways Open Day Review video we posted recently. Unfortunately, sometimes the recruiters don't stick to the dress code required by the airline itself and candidates like those you mention (and we've seen) fall through the net and get selected in the early stages of the recruitment. We still encourage our students not to lower their standards and level of professionalism and always be impeccably groomed and perfectly presented. In the long run, it will serve you better than showing up to an interview wearing completely inappropriate clothing.
+winter july Connections? (just guessing).
I hate qatarairways, i applied and went for their events, first one i have done everything and passed but no response. Second event from cv drop she said sry. Third event in final interview she said sry.
Wt a shit company, they even chose a people who is not dressed good or shaved beard, weird.
I applied for emirates and from first time i got the job. Its better, we were 520 persons and i stayed for the last 5.thats great. And here we go am flying with Emirates now.
Thank you ,very helpfull
Great video :)
Thank u so much, nice tips

hello I saw your few videos & love them seriously... thanks ..your videos are really helpful....I've one Q ...am I able to apply for ground hostess even though I've little acne scars on my face??? Does clear skin needed for ground hostess too?? plzz reply me as soon as you can....
Hi! dear Monica and Simona! i just love to watch your videos! I have a couple of questions about the process with QATAR that still didn't get solved. I failed twice at the same part of the Assessment Day which was the reach test when they also tell you to talk about a random topic and declare tattoos and moles..
All I did was to put the best words I could find to talk about my topic. I don't know if maybe I said too much information about a single thing, but I left the room feeling nice, like I was great. That was about being a cabin crew which is something I love. I tried to put passion into it, talked about honoring the uniform and being reliable, but even so.. I was not invited for the next step. I wonder if they expect to hear just like... a professional trained to operate inside of the aircraft, and that's it. :(
Would you mind talking a little bit about what posture they are expecting the candidate to have? is this the moment to talk beautiful in English or just being simple and don't worry much about impressing the recruiters? I really get confused on what they are really observing. I push myself to look professional and determined but I can never go to the final! I'm so disappointed and I come to think that I want this so hard but still they don't see me as one who fits in.
There was this other AD when I didn't take my time to show them I was worth it and i thought that was the problem in my first try, i was not noticed in any way so i started to study and work my confidence but to smile and being myself didn't change a thing.
Also, i've got very tiny moles. And that's exactly what I told them: I have tiny moles around. They started to investigate me in a very unexpected way. Should I choose one of my moles and very soon declare it to end up the conversation and avoid feeling nervous?
my moles are brown spots on my arm and one near my ear. I'm thinking about taking them off before trying again.
I appreciate your time and willing to help everyone! thanks in advance!
with love
Kathleen

When we go for interview, I want to carry a handbag 👜 a medium size black handbag is compulsory or light skin color handbag will be fine? Plz suggest
Hello! I'm a new subscriber to you channel! I just want to ask what is the appropriate answer to this question. "What can you contribute to this airline or what makes you choose this airline?" Is it okay to say that "What I can contribute to this airline is my own passion and dedication to serve other people that leads to service excellence"
Hello! I have my hair in a bob hairstyle. It is a little bit shorter than yours in this video. I am able to put it in a ponytail but it is a really short one and cannot be a bun or donut. I have heard about the rule of thumb 'If your hair does not touch your shoulders you can wear it down" however I was curious what would be your advice on how to wear my hair on the open day (and hopefully assessment day and interview)? Straight down bob, sleeked back or in a tiny ponytail? Thank you.
HI Lilyana, you can have it however you feel most comfortable. When we feel good, we perform better so it is important that you look and feel good. As long as it is styled neatly, away from your face so as to not cover your forehead or cheeks (that can potentially make the recruiters wonder if you're concealing a possible scar/birthmark), you should be fine. Best of luck! ;)
That's was very helpful. I have a f2f interview on Monday.
We wish you success, Thagishu and look forward to happy news from your side! 💝
Hi, I just wanted to ask about the english test? How does it usually goes? Are we gonna be given a topic that we would to summarize or is it multiple choice? I'm not very good in English but I'm trying my best to pass the english test
why dont you upload a video for male freshers who do not have any aviation experience or training but still want to join based on their educational eligibility?

I have a question, it might be a long shot but what is the best thing you should write in your resume, for instance I worked as a bartender for a short amount of time and mostly in conveior or construction type jobs but everibody says that I am a natural really outgoing not the strongest but a very swell guy. I would like to now if you have any tips because I totally blew it on an assesment date with qatar airways and there is another shot this march near me and I want to give it another go.

Pls tell
Hiii Thnx. you have been a great help so far. My online application status is showing assessment day. however my final interview took place 1 day before. What shall i do next. how long will it take to get the result of FI
Hi Monica, how are you?
I just want to ask cause one of my friends went to Qatar CV submission/Open day & the recruiter said he is going to send her email. It's been days now and haven't heard from the recruiter. What do you think? I watch all your videos and it really is helping a lot of aspiring FA's all over the world. You fit the job perfectly and no wonder you got hired on your first try. Keep safe! I will wait for your reply. Thank you! ❤
Hi Chloe, thank you for the veery kind words. If your friend hasn't heard back from the recruitment team, she unfortunately didn't make it on this occasion. Tell her to stay positive, prepare better and try again. Best of luck!
Thank you for your reply Monica. Truly appreciate it. Take care!
So how do you answer when they ask you 'why you want to be a cabin crew'?
wich section"study" should I choose to be a flight attendant in emirates airlines
hi Monica if a am working with Qatar airways already as customer service agent do i have more chance to be a cabin crew in Qatar airways do they have programme to move an employee in diff role
Hey Monica, my questions for you is that Etihad airways is hiring but it's mostly in Europe and I live in America should I apply and go or just waiting and see if they do come to America
Hi Monica, I have a recurring pimple on my cheek, not a scar or anything but it keeps recurring and kind of a dark spot. WIll that be a thing that I wont be selected?
hi there. just a quick question, how does Qatar airline cabin crew feel about tattoos? is it possible to to apply or is it a waste of time if you have tattoos?
Not positive at all, unfortunately, Simone :) They have a strict "no tattoo" policy for their cabin crew. Emirates and Etihad are somewhat tolerant though. With them, as long as your tattoos are not visible while wearing their uniform, you're good to go.
Thank you for your response.
Hi . I went to QR interview yesterday & everything went well pretty okay I mean I could reach the height & they asked me questions based on my CV & they told me that I will be getting a mail by 6Pm that day but I still haven't got any mail , so that means I'm out ?? I'm not selected ?
hi Monica there is an interview on 5 next month with qatar airways I applied with them but yet there is no any feedback my question is,is it possible for me to avail myself that day
Please i would like you to answer a question. Once i failed my iterview because they asked me how to handle a passenger that is coming on to you o flirting a lot. My gess is to seek help from a male crew member but i still failed.
Vianca Chavez No, it was giving them wrong impression that you cant take care of the situation. You can be polite and yet firmly tell the passenger to stop what they are doing to you .
May I ask, how is the reach test conduct? Do we have to use both arms? One hand? Or is it both hands, and one hand at a time? Please confirm.
U need to reach the line marked first by right hand and then by left hand. Being female u can always stand on ur toes and do that. I would recommend to do some stretching before going for arm reach test
Hi!!! your videos are grate!!
I wanted to ask you...I'll go to an open day but i have kind of like a lazy eye...it's not too obvious, but i don't know if that is a major problem...what do you think?
Hi +Eira Forero Pou, thank you for watching ! :D It is hard to say without actually seeing what you mean when you say your lazy eye isn't obvious. It is always worth a try of course ;)
You're right...I'm gonna go to the open day...wish me good luck!!
Eira Forero Pou best of luck!
Thank you so much!!!
Eira Forero Pou

the exact opposite is the case for me . When in a multicultural environment I am much more confident because people notice i speak 4 languages . However my voice is not too loud regularly and National people say I'm timid 😒
I have worked with hospitality industry I have good knowledge of types of services and the importance of grooming hygiene I have good communication skills but the only problem is that I have pimples and blemishes on my face does anybody knows how to get rid of it.
Hi, thank you for making videos about my dream job (I mean flight attedant- it's similar wright?)! I really appreciate the fact that shares with us all the information. It really helps me. I am 15 years old and I still have a lot of time, but I want to know as much information as I can from this industry. Can I ask for something? How high should be flight attendant? I know it's different and every company has other requirements, but I ask because I am really small, I've got about 160 centimeters so I am afraid :D Thanks for answer. :)
PS: Excuse my english, I am from Czech Republic and I am learning english at school.

+Queen Kong Like I said, I learn english so I can made a mistake.. mistakes can help me get better too..
Is it necessary to take pictures in studio can I take it at home with mobile ?
how much should we learn and what should we learn for quatar airways????
Hi where are you from??? and when did you get this job in emirates airways?
We have to have photos in our portfolio? What size, etc? What are these used for? Thanks,
hello +nathuwjohn, you will find all the necessary guidance here www.cabincrewexcellence.com/resources/. ;)
Of course...........always lie about why you want the job. Its just a game and the best player wins.
Good advice however. I have used the same advice for promotion within the oil game.....
hi me again=) within the last two months, i've sent cca 10 online applications to diferent mayor and smaller companies around the globe, all of them rejected me. I've tailored CV to my best knowledge, got my passport, school certificate, business photos and i do comply with all of the basic requirments (otherwise i would not even bother applying). So something has to be wrong with my documents. Is it possible to send them to you, so you can review them?
I had no idea flight attendants were so smart!
Manu-Camus Welcome to the world!
Mam please can you show how to make good cv for interview...
Thank you for usefull and practical information. I am a cheerful positive woman with pleasant appearance, knowledge of 3 languages (excl my native), I meet all airlines` requirements (education, flexibility, social skills, BMI, health conditons etc.). I dont have any answers to my applications. None. Do you think its because of my age 40? Thank you for your openness.
i already registered but didnt get any email :(
hello
do u think companies like qatar or emirates will take a bald guy as cabin crew??
yes ,unless you give them the reason for baldness ! If baldness is your preference then you will be told to grow hair out while if its a dermatological condition you need to give them medical report claiming it to be true ,they will let you in !
Hi there, I sent my cv on line to Emirates airline and after 3 days the page says, Application Unsuccessful , what does it mean? what could it be? should i apply again
is it mandatory to have any working experience to be selected for the cabin crew job????
Zubair Ali nope
Hello I tried applying online for both airlines (Emirates and Etihad) and still i haven't got any follow up interview yet nor email. What is the best way to do?
just meet them by going to emirates airline for exemple and see where is the metting in your country ...
I have done qater airways interview ..7 th mistake ...
I said them I passionate about meeting new people's their cultures and religious ...
her said if ur selected u got mail from us
Why
One question ... Do you think it's a good idea to for me to go to the OD with a beige business attire ? Similar color as the Emirates' uniform ? Or I should go black or blue?
And Is it usual that you use the same outfit for the OD, AD and FI? I 've read it in so many places but doesn't it look like you're a little bit dirty or something... = P
+Eira Forero Pou Don't stress over colour. You won't be turned away because you chose an outfit similiar to another airline (with so many around the world there's literally no colour you can choose that's safe). Just focus on looking professional and well groomed.
You're right...thanks for the advice!! :)
what to answer for tell me about yourself ??
When she says say stuff that benefits the airline can anyone give me an exsample
Hello,great video! so I had my Final interview with Emirates in May and received the email stating that I was l unsuccessful,I'd like to reapply! I wont lie I'm a bit nervous about doing so seeing that I got so far,do you know anyone that wasn't successful in the FI but tried again and made it?
Hi Chenelle, of course, many candidates get far into the process and try again after getting rejected. Make sure to register for the video series on www.cabincrewexcellence.com to prepare for your next interview. ;) Best of luck!

hey Monica i have a wound scar on my right leg do u think is that the reason I'm getting rejected? If yes are there any remedies bcoz i really wanna be a part of cabin crew

Dammm man amized me
hey, am sheila. am turning 19 in july this year. i am 180 cm with no shoes and 60kilos. can qatar look past my age?
It's to do with the laws in the country you have to be 21 to serve alcohol so they can't really look past it.
How can I apply
Hi ,I just applied on line last month, but I did not recieve an invetation , there is an assessment day next month,this time I manage to get an invetation with a local training agency .My qustion is I can participate or no ?
Thank you Monika in advance
Hi +Ahmed Iguerguesdaoune, if you have an invitation, you can participate. best of luck!
Thank you Monika !.First for your answer ,second for your Videos and support.
Hello! I had the chance to attend an open day with Qatar airways three months ago and luckily I was in!....After I was accepted I had to fill up a form online and finish the whole procedure...The thing is I found out I have cancer and I couldn't upload my photos, I wanted to upload them after I'm fully cured... but the thing is I still get emails from Qatar airways to upload my photos and I can't do so for the moment because I just underwent a surgery and I will be undergoing chemotherapy for about 6 months. Now I have a very visible scar in my belly and I will lose my hair very soon ...I don't know what should I be doing or what I should do! do you have any advice for me? do you think I should contact them and let them know about my illness? HELP please!
Hi Fatima, we are very sorry indeed to hear about your news! We wish you speedy healing and we are sending you our best wishes to have strength during this difficult period! For Qatar Airways, we would encourage you to not stay quiet. If you are not comfortable disclosing your situation to them, it is still good to say that due to personal problems that have developed after your Final Interview, you are unable to join the airline at this stage. It is always good to keep an open door in case you decide to apply later on. Blessings of love and light! ❤️
Thank you very very much for your help and your kind words that means so much! thank you again!
can i be qualified inspite of my mild scoliosis?
if its not more than 30 degree or not easily recognizable !
Is it necessary to have all 32 teeth? Would it be okay if I have 30
We have 32?
hi mam my height is 5.7 and weight is 67. can i apply for cabin crew
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
hi is age an issue in qatar airlines? gray and black hair.Im 39. Male.
Hi +Eduardo L, if you don't have any previous flying experience, it can be a factor that affects your application. It is always worth a try though. best of luck!
+Eduardo L Try to find out the visa restrictions for the country Qatar. The airline itself may not have an issue with age, but some countries don't offer work visas for ages 31 and up. If that is the case for Qatar then the airline can't accept you.
I hate qatarairways, i applied and went for their events, first one i have done everything and passed but no response. Second event from cv drop she said sry. Third event in final interview she said sry.
Wt a shit company, they even chose a people who is not dressed good or shaved beard, weird.
I applied for emirates and from first time i got the job. Its better, we were 520 persons and i stayed for the last 5.thats great. And here we go am flying with Emirates now.
well i just discover this priceless video thank you monica.you are beautifull
I'd really like to get a flight attendant, but I can't swim. :( Is it actually necessary?
yeah it is
No its not mandatory, I have a friend who is in Qatar Airways for 6 years now, she can't swim! don't be discouraged. Just apply for it.
if she can't swim,how would she save peaple ??
PRECIOUS PEARLS/PSP I know, that is the whole idea but apparently there are many flight attendants out there who cant actually swim, thats the reality.
👍
Haii cabin crewexcellence iam nurse 34 years i can apply for this job... Iam confuse maybe they will not accep age up 30... Thanks
Iis Umaya Unless you try you won't know. So go and try.. nursing background is an added advantage for sure
Im sorry but I disagree with one thing, salary is so important to ask about. Especially if a person is leaving behind a job. If salary is not brought up in the company's presentation, frankly I would not want to work for them.
Asila V you have the sole right to know about the salary, only, once job is offered to you. Whether u like it or not, the employer doesn't want to employ someone who wants to know benefits they get. Quiet unfortunately you have to bite the bullet.
Wooow
hey i wanna be a cabin crew but my height is 155 can i be a cabin crew
Swiss Air minimum height is 158cm. Maybe you can add something in your foot sole such as "skin tone prosthetic sole extension" 👍
I live in Blacksburg, Virginia USA. How could I make it to open day or interview in a different country if it doesn't take place in the US? How would I get there? How would it get paid or I pay my way?
where are u from?
Hi Carla, the girls are from Romania.
Are you reading from a peace of paper??? Wtf 😂
Hi Monica, thanks you so much for ur help/ Could you tell me ur email? I have some questions
Hey I really like your video thinking of going to Wizzair open day,You can check My picture,I ám having international experience Working ás a waitress in London,i gót one issue having Birthmark on me,visible place.can I be refused Because of That?
I hate qatarairways, i applied and went for their events, first one i have done everything and passed but no response. Second event from cv drop she said sry. Third event in final interview she said sry.
Wt a shit company, they even chose a people who is not dressed good or shaved beard, weird.
I applied for emirates and from first time i got the job. Its better, we were 520 persons and i stayed for the last 5.thats great. And here we go am flying with Emirates now.
Did they make you go through an English test though?
Your so lucky....i really want cabin crew with fly emirates but i don't where the open days take place in dubai
I had a minor mark on my face can I apply for cabin crew
Today I went to the seminar of a Franklfinn institute in ahmedabad they said that it can get invisible by grooming .
I also went to another institute name iitc they said that if you gromm . Interviewers say first go and wash your face then they will gone reject me .
I am totally get confused what to do . Plz get me out of this plz plz ...
If that's something that's impeding your confidence, you should consider removing it through surgery. Now a days its not costly and easily do-able.
