Adrian Kowal's Flight Attendant resume in the Hatch template

Example 1 of 2 · Hatch template

Adrian Kowal, Flight Attendant

Adrian Kowal is a flight attendant six years into cabin crew work, from a regional carrier’s turboprops to a long-haul wide-body fleet where he now acts as purser on some sectors, and is applying for a senior cabin crew post. An airline recruiter checking a senior application wants the hours, the safety record and proof of leading a crew, so the profile states all three before the history begins.

Why this resume works

  • The profile gives 4,100 flight hours with no safety finding and a crew of up to 14 briefed as purser, the three facts a senior cabin crew post is screened on.
  • The current role counts its load, up to 300 passengers on a transatlantic sector, and its step up, 22 sectors as purser in 2025.
  • The regional role shows a different pace of work, two crew on a 70-seat turboprop flying up to four sectors a day on 25-minute turnarounds.
  • Expertise is a section he added to the narrow column, six bulleted lines from emergency evacuation to duty-free sales under the same navy band as every other heading.
  • Three languages sit in the narrow column with their levels in brackets, Polish at fluent beside native English.

Mateo Salazar's Flight Attendant resume in the Lagoon template

Example 2 of 2 · Lagoon template

Mateo Salazar, Flight Attendant

Mateo Salazar is a flight attendant six years in, three of them as cabin lead on a long-haul fleet, and applying for a senior cabin crew role. Cabin crew are hired on safety, service and languages in that order, so this resume opens on the safety record and the hours, gives each role its incident and boarding figures, lists the hard skills as a plain column and puts four languages with their levels where a recruiter looks first.

Why this resume works

  • The profile states the flight hours, 3,400, and a clean safety record before anything about service, which is the order an airline reads a cabin crew application in.
  • The current role carries the incident count, 14 medical incidents and two diversions with no injury, and one boarding figure, four minutes off the Lisbon turnaround, adopted fleet-wide.
  • The first role keeps its sales figure, £620 a sector and the highest on the base, because buy-on-board revenue is a number short-haul crews are measured on.
  • A Workshops & Training Camps section the writer added lists three courses as a title over the instructor, the date and the venue, so recurrent training reads as a record rather than a claim.
  • Ten hard skills sit as chips one to a line and four languages with their levels in the grey column, so the page answers the two screening questions without a read of the history.
