Your Name: of course, your Name should be placed on top of your resume so that employers know who you are. Choose the necessary word size and spacing.

Your statistics: this section is a bit ambiguous in a resume. Many applicants do not realize that putting their age, height, and weight can be included in a Cabin Crew resume. Place this information just beneath or under your Name in smaller characters. Here is an example

Awatef Hamdi, 28 years old, 1,70m, 65Kg or Awatef Hamdi

                                                                          28 years old, 1,70m, 65Kg

Why this version? In Qatar, Cabin crew jobs are age-restricted jobs. Therefore, applicants who overcome the required age cannot apply. In addition, applicants who don’t correspond to the eligibility criteria in terms of age, height, and weight are excluded from the application process.

Contact information: how can recruiters reach you? Of course, you should put your phone number if you have a Qatar phone chip. If you are still in your native country, put your Whatsapp number. You should also include your professional email straight after your phone/Whatsapp number. Here is an example:

Awatef Hamdi, 28 years old, 1,70m, 65Kg

       (+216) 444 4444

[email protected] 

 or Awatef Hamdi

  28 years old, 1,70m, 65Kg
