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.

MAS cabin crew

Career as air hostess is a dream of millions of young men and women. You may ask, what is so great of working as a air hostess. Most of them will say the travel and the adventure.

It is an exciting life, but do not be deceived. It is also involved the hard works.Let us talk about the hard works first:

a. Long hours on standing and walking. Have you ever notice that these charming young girls have to stand up walking and serving the passengers for 13 hours, yes, that is the duration from kuala lumpur or singapore to London, direct. Imagine you are doing it and you need to keep pretty and maintain your smile.

Some of the passengers, do not appreciate them. Some are demanding and expecting too much, but luckily the majority of the passengers are appreciative.

b. The continuous odd hours.    For a flight departing at 6 in the morning, 0600 hours, you have to be at the airport at 0400hrs, if it takes one hour to reach airport, then you depart from home at 0300hrs. That man you wake up at 0200hrs in the morning. Then you work for 13 hours, another hour to clear the airport and next hour to reach the hotel.
So you are going for 1hr getting ready + 1 hr to the airport + 2 hrs before flight + 13 hrs flight + 1 hr to clear the airport + 1 hr to the hotel = 19 hrs.
I had not seen anything longer, the worst so far that break the Malaysia Record is for trainee doctors who work for 36 hrs.

c. Low pay. As compared to the others in the airline industry, the air hostess pay is low. It is made up by the allowances, they get about USD70/ for each night away from the home base.

d. Limited progression: If you look at the possible promotion path, it is rather limited, It is like silo and you cannot move sideways to another departments. Moreover like pilot, the work is very structured and rather difficult to display outstanding performance.

GOOD POINTS... YES THERE ARE MANY TOO..

a. Travel - when asked, majority of those who came for the interview will quote this as the main reason. A ticket from Singapore to London will cost more than S$1000/ and the crew will be free. It is not only free but they are paid to stay in London. How nice will it be.

b. Paid benefits - although I mentioned that the pay is rather low, but they gain in other areas. The clothings are free and the company pay for the laundry. The travel to work is free, the hotel they stay are free and they get about S$100 per night if they stay away from base.
So they paid benefits are normally more then their salary.

c. Meeting people - the crew will have plenty of chance to meet new people. Of course some may not be too nice but the majority are nice people.

d. To to do shopping - girls like shopping, then London Oxford street is waiting for you.
