In short, we hear people trying again and again at the Emirates, Etihad or Qatar recruitment portal only to receive an unsuccessful mail.
The truth is you need a CV that can make it past Emirates, Etihad or Qatar recruitment ATS - The Applicant Tracking System. This is a HR software that checks for keywords and phrases to help the cabin crew HR filter thousands of candidates / wannabes to a number that can be managed at the open day. If you want to be shortlisted, you definitely need to start thinking of having these words on your next CV that you upload.
ALWAYS include terms from the job posting that you are applying to. Always match the keywords of Emirates, Etihad or Qatar. But never use one CV and upload to all three airlines. Make the effort if you want to get your dream job.
Show your strengths and experience that matches the criteria they are looking for.
Remember to keep your formatting simple. Too many columns will cause the CV to be rejected by the ATS scan.
Don’t just list duties of your role. Include action verbs that are related to the customer service and hospitality sector. Show clear, active and descriptive phrases followed by a succinct description of what you accomplished.
Back it up by performance reviews and appraisals that you received from your managers. Include in short sentences what they say about you, your performance etc. These are give more weighting by the ATS scans.
Avoid using the same keyword repeatedly as it shows lack of creativity on your part and the ATS awards points if you use synonyms or phrases related to the keyword.
Personal Summary also gets scored by the ATS scans. Tell them a short story and tweak your CV to suit Emirates, Etihad or Qatar. Look at the job description and group your experiences together that demonstrate those specific skills.
Emirates highlights the word “progressive”. Show recruiters that there is clear progression in your skills, how you made mistakes, correct them, self develop and they have now reached a point where you are ready to take on the airline.
