Look out for the next article!
honestly I feel like most lifestyles can be turned around to look appealing to the recruiters - just highlight all the skills they're looking for (conflict solving, openness, the ability to have authority etc.) in your application and you're good to go!
Virgin says that they want true customer champions and virgin cabin crew have a goal to make every customers´ in-flight experience as memorable as the adventure that awaits them at their destination. It´s not just about telling them that you have a great customer service experience, you need to tell your stories of providing outstanding customer service by going out of your way to help all your customers, to exceed their expectations.
Cabin crew come from all walks of life, it is often a second career for many who decide to change career later in life - it is certainly not the 9 to 5 and everyday is different. The lifestyle can be disruptive and the work can be very tiring but you will either love it or hate it. Why not try a few applications and assessments days and see if you think it's for you...
You certainly wouldn't be alone in being a teacher who has changed career into working as cabin crew. I have over 10 years' experience as a FE lecturer/tutor and started working as crew at the age of 45 and met quite a few other ex-teachers of varying ages who had done the same. I did also have some customer service experience from working on Social Services/NHS contracts.
As a teacher you will have excellent interpersonal skills as you work with people every day (students/colleagues/parents/external agencies), although not technically 'customers', you will have lots of experience in assisting others and resolving issues. You will also have excellent organisational skills, working to deadlines, time-keeping and be used to working under pressure. You will have experience as a team member from working in curriculum/departmental teams and also welfare/SEN departments/assistants etc.
The important thing on assessment days, particularly in the group exercises is to ensure that you contribute appropriately, but don't get tempted to take over and lead the group! (As a teacher you're used to leading and for new cabin crew they are looking for team-workers as opposed to team leaders).
Some days can be tiring, but every day is fun in its own way, you never know what's going to happen on any day - every flight is different. In addition to the travel perks and opportunities to see new places, work with and meet different people every day, it's wonderful not to have to bring any prep/marking home with you!
Best of luck with your applications.
For anyone applying for/considering applying for Easyjet Cabin Crew, I've posted a YouTube video which will be linked below with my tips for the assessment day and my thoughts on working there/advice!
Hope this helps :)
