If you dream of traveling the world as a cabin crew member, one of the first important steps is attending a flight attendant recruitment event. Whether it’s an open day or a more selective assessment day, knowing what to expect can make all the difference. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the process and how our cabin crew course can help you stand out.
What is a flight attendant recruitment event?
Open days vs. assessment days
Open Days are public events where anyone can show up with their résumé and try their luck. Assessment Days, on the other hand, are by invitation only, usually after an online pre-screening. Both require preparation and a professional appearance.
Which airlines organize these events?
Major airlines such as Emirates, Qatar Airways, Iberia, Ryanair, and Wizz Air hold these events regularly across Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East.
What to expect during the selection process
Step-by-step overview:
- Initial document review (CV and photos)
