Flight Attendant

• Oct 2000 - Sep 2002

Before studying at De Montfort University, I worked full-time for two years as a Flight Attendant flying long haul routes. The key requirements for the role were to provide a World Class Customer service and to ensure the safety of the passengers. The lifestyle maybe perceived as glamorous staying in five star hotels but it was a demanding job that required working long and unsociable hours. What a lot of people don't realise is when they board the plane, a majority of the time the crew have not worked with each other before, so building relationships on a first time encounter was expected. Everyone was like minded and team players so we made it fun. Working for such a creative and vibrant company where the brand had so much personality, it really made me stop and admire the innovative approach that Sir Richard Branson was creating for Virgin Atlantic. This fascination ultimately inspired me to want to study Advertising and Marketing Communications.
