Key terms

Assessment Day
A day of selection where the airline observes you in person. A typical day has a welcome briefing, a group exercise, individual tasks such as English and reach checks, then interviews, but the schedule differs by airline and event. Recruiters watch how you work with others, not only what you say.

05 / 06Beyond the checklists

Where the checklists fit

A checklist catches common mistakes. It cannot tell you which ones matter for your airline and stage.

Find more detail

The checklists come from the Readiness Kit, which holds fuller tools. The guides cover one airline each, and the blog explains requirements and selection stages in dated articles.

Find your stage

What you prepare depends on whether you have not applied, applied, been invited or finished an assessment. The journey page explains each stage. The free diagnosis tells you which one you are in and what can wait.

06 / 06FAQ

Questions about CVs and applicant systems

Can I use my existing CV?
How long does CV delivery take?
How many CV revisions do I get?
Will someone check the airline’s application portal before I submit?

What happens when you start

  1. Choose your airline and your stage.
  2. Answer a few questions and skip anything you do not know.
  3. Read your result and decide what to do next.
