be a flight attendant

i am a nigeria whose number one wish is to be a flight attendant as a cabin crew member to any airline preferable emirate airline

hi i want to become an air hostess but is scared of leaving the country wiv no1 i know and what if i get lost smwhere can sm reply n tell me if yu think tht il be ok on me own ?:(

Dreaming of travelling around the world, meeting new peoples & charateristics, feeling exciting everytime having a trip with an airplane really take me over a dream to become a flight attendant. It’s my dream above all my dreams. Even I’m compliant not to be paid as long as I can reach my dream job! Well, most of the airlines require at least 21 years old to become a flight attendant. So, I’m ready next year!

i leave school next year and have been through alot of phases of what i want to be when im ‘older’
first it was air hostess, then fashion designer, then air hostess again, then make-up artist and now im back to air hostess. I’ve done alot of research about this and it’s deffinetley for me.
ill be 16 when i leave school, but im not going to college, and as i know you have to be at least 18 to become a air hostess, so for the couple of years when i do leave school ill get a little job as a waitress or something, serving the public. I am also taking French at school and am hoping to achieve at least a ‘C’ grade.

Is there any other information you guys could give me that i need to know?

I always wanted to become a flight attendant, and last August, I took the plunge!

After failed 1 month ago

7 October I went to applied For Emirate Cabin Crew And I can pass it
I am so happy Actually ,I never ever been happy Like this before IN 2 years

I got an appointment to interview in second round

so sad, I failed
..........................
I knew why….
I ‘m not better than the other
I don’t prepare myself enough…

It’s my fault…...

And I can’t re -apply again in 6 months
Anyways Emirate Is the only Airline for me
I never want to be a cabin crew If it’s not Emirate.

I like international system…
Base in Dubai
Live with Foreginer roommate
And Look Professional…

So I promise Myself
From Now on…
I will never stop if I can not be Emirate crew

I’d fly anywhere before I’d drive!!

Outta high school and trying to figure out what I wanted to do with my life – I’d always had this crazy dream in the back of my head that maybe, just maybe, I wanted to work up there, in the sky.

I’m too dumb to be a pilot, let’s just put that out there now.
So the backup choice? Cabin Crew, Flight Attendant…just don’t call me Hostess ;D
It’s an awesome career if you can put up with getting up at insane times, grumpy passengers and long work shifts…but I would NEVER give this up for anything, it’s the best!!!

ive just always wanted to be one, I LOVE FLYING!!

and i dont just want to be one, i WILLLLL

1. If you can help it…don’t fly for an airline that doesn’t have (or isn’t a part of) a flight attendant union. Don’t do it. Don’t say I didn’t warn you…. My airline belonged to the AFA (Association of Flight Attendants – the largest F/A union in the world), and I TDY’d as a F/A recruiter several times, so I know what I’m talking about.

2. On your interview, it doesn’t matter what else you say, but when asked to speak on a topic the only thing you have to remember is DEPENDABILITY! DE-PEN-DA-BI-LI-TY! Whatever your topic is, remember to throw in a dependability story. It will earn you major brownie points.

Hi everyone… I worked as a flight attendant for the 2nd largest airline (when I began we were the largest) for eight years and TOTALLY LOVED IT. I don’t know of any other job where you periodically catch yourself saying out loud: Boy do I love my job!

It’s hard to get hired (for the majors it takes a few interviews), and even when you do the training is tough and usually lasts for around 8 – 12 weeks (for the majors), less for 2nd tier airlines; but it’s totally do’able, and definitely worth it. Just don’t give up. I got hired by (at the time) the largest airline in the country on my first try, having had no prior customer service experience, and no foreign language. You just have to know how to sell yourself. Be confident. Look the part (please wear navy blue to your interviews). And remember….DEPENDABILITY!

Training can be tough, but if you go with an open mind and a willingness to work you’ll be fine… and you’ll make many life-long friends there.

Anyway, that’s my two cents. Have fun and take lots of pictures once you’re hired. :-)
