Flight Attendant
I make sure passengers follow safety regulations on the airplane.
I have to scan it an hour before my flight departure. I have to brief with my coworkers (we talk about safety related issues if any) then we check all the emergency equipment on the airplane to make sure things are up to date. Then we start boarding 45 min before flight departure. We greet passengers and assist those who need it. Then we close the door, make our safety demo, check seat belts and make sure electronics are off. Then we take off. After we reach 10,000 ft, we start our service.
Here's the first step for professionals
Make sure you are willing to relocate in case the airline you apply for sends all the new hires to a different hub.
