AirAsia opens cabin crew jobs to SHS grads—here's how to apply
Ever dreamed of becoming a cabin crew member? This is your chance.
AirAsia Philippines is changing the game for aspiring cabin crew members by introducing an "inclusive" and "cost-effective" recruitment process.
In a press release, the airline said that while they encourage college graduates, they will now accept Senior High School graduates.
Applicants no longer need to wear a formal uniform with full makeup. The new dress code allows men to come in a white t-shirt, jeans, and casual rubber shoes, while women can wear a white shirt, a denim skirt, and heels.
"Cabin crew aspirants will immerse themselves in a more realistic work environment, setting aside the usual runway screening with a more service and guest-oriented approach during the selection process," the airline said.
The process also gives applicants a glimpse into the airline's culture, offering them a look at what a "day in the life in the skies" is like.
"We are reimagining the way we do our recruitment process to focus more on the essentials-talent, attitude, and skills needed to become a successful cabin crew," AirAsia Philippines Chief Executive Officer Suresh Bangah noted.
