CX is recruiting!

[desijoey]

Erm.. I know this sound really dumb but it's my first time applying for a job so I hope someone can roughly give me an idea how does a cover letter or CV goes. I did went to the bookshop to purchase some guides for Resumes and such but since it's my first job, i've got nothing to write under Experience, so should i just skip that entire portion?? And the examples shown in the book, in my opinion, isnt really suitable. And CX doesnt have an application form too.

Thanks.

Hi dear,

You can go online and search for resumes too.I got mine off the internet.Then you can just change the info accordingly.If you do not have any job experience,dun put that section in.Online resumes are aplenty so you can choose which format suits you the best.

Happy CV writing!:)

For the details on a cover letter, do make it simple & straight forward.
Try to finish it off in 1 page.

Start off with an opening line " I am interested for the "xxxxx" (position applying for) as posted on "xxxxx" (where u get the recruiting information from)

-Do some basic introduction on yourself (Age/ Current Job/ Academic Qualification/ Past or Present job experiences -focus & elaborate more on your past or present customer service related job as now u're applying for service line, other beyond that, u may want to ignore it)

-Explain on why u decide to apply for this job, how this job benefits u & the company for long run, etc..

-Closing line

To impress the person who read on your letter, u must sound extremely sincere to the job (as we're not facing the interviewers, they are unable to feel or see how commited we are to this job, so u have to relate them to appropriate words in order to make them select u to the interview)

Lastly, i think that do not state down all your key points in the letter, so therefore to make the interviewers want to know u more, they will ring u for the interview, by then u're able to bring them up at the face to face interview.

Does CX employ Guys attendent?

Yeah. Is this for both male and female?

And do they prefer "oriental" racial backgrounds?

Or other ethnic races can apply?

Chai ching, u're most welcome!! This is little thing which i can help..

Hi,

White_Belle, thank you so much for sharing how to start with a cover letter.

[White_Belle]

I suppose both gender can apply. Because they never differentiate as "stewardess" or "steward".

To me, my perception of Flight attendant does refer to male & female attendant.

Well, anyway, no harm sending in..

Does CX employ Guys attendent?

Yeah. Is this for both male and female?

And do they prefer "oriental" racial backgrounds?

Or other ethnic races can apply?

[White_Belle]

I find it weird, how come there's no information on the flight schedule as i recalled back, someone here posted that Singapore's CX crew only flies thru Singapore > Hongkong > Colombo?
