Do you need separate CVs if you are applying to Emirates, Etihad and Qatar

You can always use a generic CV for all 3 airlines but that will dilute your chances as the cabin crew roles offered by Emirates, Etihad and Qatar have nuances in their job description.

So what do I mean by “separate” CVs. Basically you’d have a distinctly different CV – in terms of a sizeable portion of your content – for each type of airline and cabin crew role you’re applying for.

This is not the same as “customizing” your CV to a specific airline and cabin crew role. Customizing is when you use a single resume for every job you apply to, except that you make sure to add, subtract, or alter small bits of content to match the unique requirements of each employer.

Whether you decide to produce separate CVs for jobs that are clearly different, or merely customize a single resume for different employers, you will end up with more than one “version” of your resume. (More about managing multiple versions below).

Why does it make sense to have different variations of the CV?

This enables you to place more emphasis on your transferable skills to match to their job requirements. With a little juggling and organizing, using separate CVs for Emirates, Etihad and Qatar – or customizing versions of a single CV – can become a powerful tool to increase your chances of getting shortlisted at the CV drop off day.
