Resume Processing

Many of the jobs applicants, including the would-be air hostess may not be aware of the processes that take place at the airline processing center. This is how the posted mails are process in a local airline:

a. The advertisement will stipulate that the applicant should send the resume in an envelope and mark "air hostess resume" on the top left hand corner of the envelop.

b. At the mail sorting center, you may have a number of large bags with label for various functions, one of which is the "air hostess resume". The other can be "other jobs".

c. When the hundreds of applications arrive, the clerk will just drop the right envelops int the appropriate box

Imagine if you forget to write the post on the envelope, it will go into the miscellaneous jobs which may not be processed in time.

The airline can have the policy of reviewing 1000 applications only due to the limited resources. The improperly marked enveloped may not have the chance.

d. Then the mails will be opened and separated. Those that meet the basic requirements will be separated.

That is why, it it very important to address all the stated requirements, examples..

- Nationality - state your compliance

- age - state your age

- Height -

- Education -

- Language proficiency

and other requirements

If you miss one, you may miss the chance, as the airline does not have the time to pursue your applications. There may be a thousand others that are seeking the job.

e. Then the airline will contact you, either by phone, email or post. Please make sure you have all these contacts ready posted in your application.

This is an example of how the applicants are processes. The initial part is done by the clerks at the mail processing center before the bag is delivered to application processing which can be part of Human Resource department or the cabin crew department itself. They are dealing with large number of applications and do not have the time to look after any errors or incomplete applications. So always remember, when your are applying for the job of air hostess, or any other jobs, always comply to the stated requirements.
