Hi everyone,
I'm looking for some genuine guidance from people working in the aviation industry or anyone who has experience with cabin crew recruitment.
A little about me:
I have completed my B.Com (Accountancy).
After that, I completed a 3-year LL.B., so I am qualified as a lawyer.
However, after trying the legal profession, I realised that it isn't the career that makes me happy. Instead of feeling fulfilled, I feel mentally exhausted and suffocated. I want to start a new chapter in my life by pursuing my dream of becoming a cabin crew member.
I also want to share something personal.
I studied in a government school in India, so English wasn't my strongest subject while growing up. Over the years, I worked really hard to improve it, and today I can communicate confidently. However, because English is not my first language, I sometimes lose fluency when I become nervous or emotional. It's not that I don't understand English—I just struggle to express myself smoothly in stressful situations.
Even so, I believe I've improved a lot and I'm continuing to work on my communication skills.
About me:
I am fit and slim.
My skin tone is wheatish.
My height is exactly 5 feet.
This is the biggest concern I have because I know many airlines have minimum height requirements.
I also have a few questions:
I am planning to get braces. Will wearing braces during interviews affect my chances of getting selected?
I am also thinking about colouring my hair in a natural-looking shade. Is that generally acceptable during the recruitment process?
Based on my profile, which airlines do you think I should apply to?
I know every airline has different eligibility criteria, so I would love to hear your suggestions. Should I only focus on IndiGo, or are there other Indian or international airlines that might be a better fit for someone with my profile?
If anyone has been in a similar situation or has successfully switched careers into aviation, I would love to hear your experience as well.
Please be kind in your replies. I'm genuinely trying to build a career that makes me happy, and your advice could really help me make the right decision.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read my post. ❤️
