One of the most popular avenues of work in India today is in the airline
industry. With perks like free or subsidized overseas travel and reasonably high
wages, this industry draws innumerable applicants every time there are jobs
available in positions like flight attendant jobs in India for example. Cabin
crew job remuneration & salaries for instance also include many perks like
the crew gets to travel to different parts of the world and even family members
can avail of discounted travel rates.
And with the large number of new
entrants into the field of air travel in India in recent years, has come a great
availability of air crew jobs in India. One usually looks for such job openings
in newspapers. Usually employers look for candidates who possess certain
qualifications. They may seek candidates who have received an education up to
the second year of a bachelor's degree certificate course, fluency in English
and Hindi - fluency in a third language is an added advantage as well - and one
who scored well in the IATA exams, but they may also want applicants to be
further trained like they may have to go through cabin crew training.
After the airline management narrows down the list of applicants they
favor, they invite these candidates for a brief interview. Candidates, who cross
this stage, are then judged on the basis of their appearance. In fact, in India
there was a huge controversy recently when airlines decided to fire their
employees if they cross a certain weight mark.
