2.2 The assessment
2.2.1 How to dress for your assessment day
The best advice I can give you here is to dress like a flight attendant already. Business attire is the standard requirement that the airline gives you for the day of the interview. WHat does that mean? It is quite a vague instruction. Below you will find an explanation of what a business attire is for ladies and for gentlemen.
LADIES
Suit
Choose a fitted suit in a dark color. It can be black, grey or navy.
I highly recommend you wear a skirt. Make sure that the length is not above the knee. Most middle eastern airlines adopt a modest and conservative style, and so should you. Jacket should be fitted and classic-elegant.
Shirt
Go for a simple, collared shirt.
Nothing says business more than a clean crisp shirt. Do not show cleavage.

Scarf
This is the patent ‘fight attendant detail’ on a business attire. While you are not allowed to wear a scarf for your application photos, you can wear one on this day. This is finally an area where you can play with color. Go for red, green or purple. Your image will stick longer with the interviewer than if you wear something plain from head to toe.
Pantyhose
Choose a skin-colored, simple model. Do not wear colored stockings, patterns or fishnet designs.
Shoes
Should be dark color, closed pattern. Go for classic and comfortable rather than fashion. Simple, black, high or mid heel are the best.
No platforms, peep- toe stilettos or flat shoes. Wearing a bit of heel will give you a more
confident stroll. Keep in mind though that it will be a very long day.

6. Make-up
Use simple, neutral colors such as brown and grey eyeshadow, mascara, blush and lipstick. To score extra points, look for pictures of the flight attendants, and copy their make up. Make it easy for your interviewer to already imagine you in their uniform. Carry your make up pouch with you and reapply throughout the day. Learn how to put on your make-up.
Hair
If you have long hair, tight it back in a simple bun. If your hair is short, comb it back and secure it with some gel or hair spray. Do not go for spiky just-out-of-the-bed look. Once again, pretend you already have the job.
Nails
The biggest winner in this category is french manicure. It looks clean and elegant. Or opt for natural colors such as light pink and beige. Avoid dark strong colors such as electric blue, purple or black.
