How to find corporate flight attendant employment in a tough economy.

When an employer finds your profile on a website like flycontract.com (see flight attendants employment profiles), you may be contacted and asked a couple of questions. Here are two employment typical questions:

#1. Do you have any aviation experience? This may be a tough question to answer if you do not, but simple stress your strong points that involve travel and service oriented employment you may have had or even talk about your extremely pleasant attitude. In that situation you may consider offering up your services at a nice discount. You can even contact local charter companies and offer up your services free to get some flying experience. If this is a new aircraft you can also request permission before the trip, to tour the aircraft. Don't be nervous.

#2. Are you available? Of course! If you are not, fine, but if this is your first try at getting corporate flight attendant employment with this company, you should try to make time. This may be your only opportunity to show how great you are.. Also if you can't do the flight maybe you have a friend you can refer them to. Speaking of friends, why not make some friends so they can return the favor to you when they are not available. Search through the website here and send some emails. Some members will be very helpful, all you have to do is ask.

After the call and the offer:

What helps you gain corporate corporate flight attendant employment is not just seeking but retaining the position. Your "look" , clothing (see examples of a good flight attendant uniform) and first impression are very important. Relax! Smile! Be pleasant.

Here are some other tips for corporate flight attendant employment:

• The pilots are your "people" and your crew. Make sure they are taken care of, their recommendations will get you hired for more trips.

• Be punctual! Believe me pilots are on-time, it is part of the job description!

• Be easy to work with. Yes, everyone will be tired after multiple days of flying but remember you are the ray of sunshine. Your attitude during the trip, at the hotel and when you go out to dinner is very important. Especially when you are on the road.

• Find out if the pilots need anything before or after the flight, its simple, just ask. Also, when you are not sure what to do, just ask. The pilots have a wealth of knowledge it helps to do tasks in a way that is familiar to the crew.

• Clean up and prepare the bathroom, seatbelts, galley every time! Make it look like a multi-million dollar jet!
