“Parachute” here has nothing to do with a Flight Attendant Career.  Which is a good thing in this case.  It has to do with the famous book that guides career seekers into considering life experience and their best assets when choosing, or considering switching, careers.  Whether you’re looking into a Flight Attendant School for your initial career or this is your fifth career, here are a few things to consider which may help you expedite the choice of colors for your parachute.

Airlines are looking for candidates that are well spoken, well groomed and well presented.  If you have multiple tattoos or body piercings, they will be noticed, and not in a complimentary way.  If you don’t like people, this isn’t the career for you.  If you insist on wearing your hair in a ponytail (I mean you, David, not you, Jenny) you might want to consider a career path as a roadie instead.  If you prefer a 9 to 5 schedule, an office job may be more comparable.  If you insist on sleeping in the same bed every night, again, not for you.

But if you like adventure, visiting new cities, not having to cook for yourself the days you’re at work and meeting people from all over the world, a Flight Attendant Career may be something to consider – especially if you haven’t yet started a family and can be flexible in your work schedule.  Oh, I forgot to mention that you only work 50-90 hours a month.  That’s a month, not a week.  And, the benefits will make the haircut and piercing-removal a long, distant memory.
