INTERVIEW OUTFIT FOR FLIGHT ATTENDANTS

If you are considering a career in aviation and you are already on the hunt for opportunities to work as a flight attendant, one thing you should know is that appearance plays a vital role  - meaning that you should look exceptional at all times whether that is your first interview or your on duty moments in general.
 

And, since there is no second chance to make a great first impression, I prepared a mini guide to help you rock that once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to start your dream career!
 

A great way to make it as a flight attendant is by attending an Open Day. Open Days are assessment days conducted regularly by major airlines which are usually high in attendance. Hundreds of girls (and boys) will be competing with you for their place up in the air. This is your chance to impress, shine and prove yourself worthy of the job.

Given that you've created a professional CV using my tips on how to create the perfect CV and you have followed the step-by-step guide on how to fill your online application, it's time to find out how to look professional and polished.

All airlines appreciate candidates with an appearance that is conforming to the company's standard. Choose a dress resembling the company's uniform: a simple, modest knee-length dress will be perfect. Try avoiding bodycon dresses - they will look provocative rather than professional.
 

Sleeveless or off-the-shoulder dresses should be paired with a jacket or cardigan, especially if you're being interviewed by an Emirates airline. Prefer darker hues like grey or black as they make a safe and smart choice. 

 

The all-time classic combination of a tailored skirt and jacket is the next best thing for your interview outfit. Pair them with a crisp white shirt to add a touch of cleanness and subtle colour to your appearance that will leave nothing less but the best impressions. Avoid wearing a silk scarf.

Don't be afraid that your look resembles that of a flight attendant. That should be your purpose.
 

As for the colour choice, I would go for a grey-white or a black and white look. And if you're making your first steps in your professional career and you haven't built a working wardrobe yet, all you have to do is invest in a few key pieces - you'll find some great inexpensive choices in the market.
 

Your workwear should include a pair of separates and/or a dress. Girls dreaming to take off should be ready to fly!
 

I wouldn't suggest wearing a suit - tailored trousers and a jacket - but the choice is up to you.

 

An elegant pair of heels is a must - be careful NOT to choose something of the following: stilettos, sky-high heels, patent leather, peep-toes, heeled sandals or heavily decorated shoes. Also avoid ballerinas and flat shoes in general. 
 

A simple, black leather pair of pumps with a 10-cm heel is the ideal choice (and a super economical one too).

Simple, clean and fresh looking. Avoid wearing heavy makeup products and dark eye shadows. Keep your makeup look clean, putting emphasis in your eyes with some eyeliner and mascara, add some blush and a lipstick. Say a huge NO to anything over the top. Almost all companies permit red lipstick, so dare to wear it - just remember to wear minimal eye makeup with it.
 

Remember to wear your prettiest smile: it's your biggest weapon!
 

Keep your nails looking clean and polished. Short nails are generally preferred but if you do have long nails, try a subtle nail polish. Pick a nude polish, french manicure or red on short nails for the day.

 

And should you not know where to start looking for a job, then this post will point you towards the right direction.
 

You don't have to be a supermodel to make it as a flight attendant. You just have to be unique. Good luck!
