IT’S A RESUME, NOT A SOUFFLÉ

The perfect resume is succinct, to the point, easy to follow and more than anything, an honest reflection of your professional and life experience. Some job applicants think an airline would actually be interested in the fact that they were a girl scout or on the junior high chess team. Here are a few quick tips on the perfect resume:

- During Flight Attendant School, you’ll receive some tips on writing your resume and eligibility criteria provided by each airline for available positions. Be sure to research the company, do your homework and be sure you can meet those criteria.

- Buy a good book with tons of sample resumes for different kinds of professions. A good one is “The Idiot’s Guide to the Perfect Resume.”

- One thing you don’t want to do is inflate your experience (here’s where the soufflé reference comes in). Be honest about your past jobs and responsibilities that came along with them, but don’t forget to include volunteer and community service work.

- Create separate headings for pertinent information, such as education (include year graduated and degree), work experience and community service work.

- It may seem like a no brainer, but include your name, address, email address and every phone number you’re being billed for at the very top, so a prospective employer can find you.

- Be brief and to the point. No more than one page unless you’re a rocket scientist, in which case you’d be applying for a job on a rocket.

A Flight Attendant Career is rewarding and provides lots of perks and the job search can be simplified by giving a prospective employer what they’re looking for: a bright, qualified candidate who has the right stuff!
