Before you start the Ryanair Cabin Crew Recruitment Process
You’ll need an up-to-date version of your CV.
Step 1 – The Online Application
Ryanair have shifted to a largely virtual recruitment process. The first stage of the Ryanair Cabin Crew Recruitment Process is the online application form.
Please remember to read the job description carefully, as this lists all of the requirements the airline is looking for.
The online application form is very simple, and you’ll be asked to fill out the following:
- Personal details
- Education details
- Employment details
You will also be asked to confirm that you match the character requirements for Ryanair Cabin Crew. They expect you to be friendly, outgoing and capable of dealing with difficult situations. Customer service skills and a can-do attitude are essential qualities.
You’ll then be asked to provide a short summary where you can include details about yourself that may be relevant to the role. This is a good place to talk about any previous customer service experience you may have had.
Before you click submit there are some simple ‘yes’ or ‘no’ tick-box questions for you to answer in the following areas:
- Do you have the unrestricted right to work in the EU?
- Do you meet the age and height requirements?
- Do you have excellent attendance in your current position?
- Are you physically up to scratch? Eyesight, swimming and fitness have to be of a certain standard.
- Do you have a criminal record?
Once you’ve submitted the form you’ll automatically receive notification to tell you whether you have been approved to progress with your application. If this is the case, you will shortly receive a confirmation email.
