Moncy: As a tourism student I want to be a flight attendant/Cruise ship attendant, 'coz by being a flight attendant or a cruise ship attendant is an opportunity to grab and a big achievement for me. And aside from that I can travel to any places for free and being paid. :) And of course in an international cruise ship like Norwegian Cruise Line where my uncle works there as a Pastry Chef and his wife as a Casino Manager.

This are the tips or the qualification of a being a flight attendant:
Some airlines require college courses or a degree, but most just require a high school education.
Usually the minimum age is 21. Some smaller regional airlines hire at 19 or 20.
You language skills will be a plus.
Job qualifications:
1. Customer service background, and at least some work experience.2. Must be well groomed, poised, friendly, gracious under pressure.
3. No visible tattoos (usually above the shoulders, below the elbows, below the knees. No piercings except one in each ear.
4. Must be willing to relocate to whichever base you are assigned.
5. Must be flexible about your hours. The first year or several years you will be "on reserve" which means you are on call and never have an assigned schedule.
6. You could get called with 2 hours notice to report to the airport in uniform ready to leave on a 2,3 or 4 day trip or even longer for the charter airlines.
When airlines open up a period where they are accepting applications, it is usually a for a very short period because they tend to be flooded with applicants.
The best advice is to go on the website of an airline you are interested in working for, and click on careers or employment to find the qualifications and if they are accepting applications.
A good website is http://www.flightattendantcareers.com
On that site is a list of the airlines currently accepting applications and a lot of information about the job itself.
If you are called for an interview, the last thing the recruiter wants to hear is "I just love people, everyone says I have a good personality, etc."
The airlines are looking for flexible, dependable employees who can contribute to the success of the company.
Let them know what you can do for them to provide great customer service.
If you don't hear from an airline right away, just keep applying, and be sure to register on the careers website of the airlines so you can be set up to receive job alerts.
If you do not have any customer service background, you could start out at the airline working in reservations, ticketing or gates, and then internally transfer.
That way you can start at your nearest airport.
Good luck! It is a fun and rewarding job.
