If you dream of flying the world as cabin crew, one of your first big steps is attending a flight attendant hiring event. Whether it’s an Open Day or a more selective Assessment Day, understanding what to expect can make all the difference. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the process and how our TCP course can help you stand out.
What Is a Flight Attendant Hiring Event?
Open Days vs Assessment Days
Open Days are public events where anyone can show up with their CV and try their luck. Assessment Days, however, are by invitation only, typically after a pre-screening online. Both require preparation and a professional appearance.
Which Airlines Host These Events?
Major airlines such as Emirates, Qatar Airways, Iberia, Ryanair, and Wizz Air host these events regularly across Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East.
