5 Unbeatable Qualities of Flight Attendants That Make Them Stand Out in Any Workplace! Flight attendants are the unsung heroes of the airline industry, providing exceptional service and ensuring the safety of passengers. Here are five reasons why you should consider hiring them for your team: 1.Customer service: Flight attendants are trained to provide exceptional customer service, which can translate into any industry that involves working with people. 2.Safety: Flight attendants are responsible for ensuring the safety of passengers on board, which requires quick thinking and problem-solving skills. 3.Multitasking: Flight attendants are able to multitask in a fast-paced environment, which is a valuable skill in any job. 4.Diversity and cultural awareness: Flight attendants work with people from all over the world, giving them a unique perspective and the ability to work effectively with diverse teams. 5.Teamwork: Flight attendants work closely with other crew members to ensure a smooth and successful flight, making them great team players.

Humans of Jetconnect In our employee spotlight this month we feature the talented Chelsie Hunt, one of our exceptional Customer Service Manager's, and recently appointed Inflight Service Instructors. Join us as we delve into Chelsie's intriguing journey..... What were you doing before flying, or what made you want to become a flight attendant? Being a Flight Attendant was something I fell into! A friend who was Short Haul cabin crew told me that Jetconnect was hiring. I had just finished a Bachelor of Teaching and didn't really know what I wanted to do, so I applied. 6 months later I was put in a training group in July 2016. Tell us something not many people at work know about you? I have danced in Bollywood dance competitions and even was a backup dancer in a Bollywood music video! It's on YouTube somewhere! What do you love most about your job? I love the work-life balance that flying brings! I know that sounds crazy, but having a different job during COVID proved to me just how passionate I am about flying. I missed the smiles and connections that we make with our customers during their journey, the little families you form with other crew, and being able to shop anywhere and everywhere! What do you find the hardest about your job? Remembering people's names! 😂 I'm great with faces, but if I've only flown with a crew member once, and they are in a different cabin, I may forget until I see their face again. (So please, feel free to introduce yourself next time with fly together!) If you could host a dinner party and invite any 3 guests (past or present), who would you choose to be there? I would invite the girl gang from Sex and the City! I know you said only 3, but I feel like they would be so fun to have dinner with! Yes, I know they are fictional, but even their actresses must have a fun side! I'm sure there would be laughing and talking into the wee hours of the morning. Best piece of advice for someone thinking of becoming cabin crew? JUST DO IT! If you can make a routine out of anything and can smile genuinely at 4 am, then why not!? You will have the time of your life, make some great friends, see new places, and learn a lot about yourself. Show us a photo that best describes you in "your element" (pictured) Ive chosen this photo of me in the desert in Abu Dhabi during training. Being back in the job that I love makes my heart and soul so happy! Thanks for sharing your very interesting journey with us.

Diving right into it, hiring lifeguards is not just about filling in the summer job chart. 🏊♀️ It calls for a keen eye to spot those who embody vigilance, agility, and a strong sense of responsibility. Listed below are my top observations on the subject: • Lifeguarding is More Than a Pastime: Seek individuals who understand that lifeguarding is not just an opportunity to perfect their tan lines. An excellent candidate is aware that people's safety depends on their attentiveness. • The Role Demands Quick Decisions: The poolside is no place for indecisiveness. The right candidate should be able to take swift and effective actions when necessary. • Training is Never Enough: Continuous training is mandatory to ensure lifeguards stay at the top of their game. Encourage and facilitate regular practice sessions. Making a splash with the right team of lifeguards can elevate your aquatics program. Keep these pointers in mind, and you can take your pick among the best for your team. After all, their whistle blow can mean the difference between calm waters and a turbulent tide. Happy hiring, and remember, 'Great Lifeguards make every pool a safe harbour.'

Let’s talk about what I like to call the “foot-in-the door” technique for low-time pilots (this can be applicable to entry-level Flight Attendants as well). There are many jobs in aviation, where the employer would like to hire someone with aviation knowledge to fill the role. If you have ground school completed, pilot certificate in hand, aviation-related education, or other aviation-related experience, you might qualify. I have hired a few low-time pilots into these positions over the years. They continued to build time on the side by instructing or other part-time flying and when the time was right, they moved on to flying full-time. On their resume, it was a good look that they had worked in an aviation environment. Working in a non-crew position in aviation, they were well positioned as their flight hours reached the limits needed for their “goal job,” they either… 1)        Had a foot in the door at an operator who hired them to fly… OR… 2)        Were a more desirable hire (it’s competitive out there!) because of their time spent working for an aviation-related company, in combination with their flying time. Research non-crew jobs at 135 operators: ·      Charter Coordinator / Scheduling Coordinator ·      Flight Follower ·      Charter Sales ·      Crew Logistics Coordinator ·      Aviation Recruiter ·      Training Coordinator / Ground School Instructor ·      Marketing Manager Research non-crew jobs at FBO’s: ·      Customer Service Representative or Hospitality Coordinator ·      Line Service Technician  ·      Operations Manager ·      Ramp Agent ·      Safety Officer ·      Dispatch Coordinator ·      Janitorial/Maintenance Staff ·      Fuel Farm Operator Pro-tips:  ·      Search LinkedIn jobs using titles listed above.  ·      These positions are also good starting places for entry-level Flight Attendants who are looking to gain experience and a "foot-in-the-door." As a popular LinkedIn aviation coach says "work is work." Please comment if you are aware of, or are hiring for, any non-crew positions that would be well suited for a low-time pilot who is building time or an entry-level FA looking for their “open door.”

Having a tattoo doesn't prevent you from working on a superyacht, but visible tattoos might limit your job opportunities as we often receive vacancies from yachts that specify "No tattoos" or "No visible tattoos". Honesty is crucial; it's a good idea to put details of any tattoos briefly on your CV. You don't want to get all the way to a final interview stage of a job prospect only to be turned down because of an anchor on your arm (other tattoos are available). Crew agencies are looking for qualified and hardworking crew members. If you fit this bill and are open and honest, you will find opportunities in the superyacht industry.
