Thread: Airline Office Application. (Office in Australia)

Hello.

I'm currently at University, and I have a 3.75month break coming up in about a fornight.

I was wondering if anyone here knows if any of the airline offices hire casuals or part timers.

I have summer availability, and during the rest of the year 2 or 3 days a week.

I'm looking at some graduate programs with different airlines for when i finish my course and I was thinking that it may be beneficial to try for some work in a customer service/sales office of an airline.

I was kind of hoping that someone here could offer me some info on what airlines are looking for in workers at these offices.

I am currently employed casually in a customer service role in retail.

I am able to operate an office phone system.
I can type, use spreadsheets, databases, etc.

I pick up any computer based applications very quickly.

That’s about it at the moment, I’m not exactly sure what other skills they may be looking for.

I can deal with customers professionally too, (and oh god I’ve had some problematic ones)


Is anyone here able to offer any more hints or guides?

I'd love to get some experience so that I have a better shot into one of the competitive graduate programs.

- Dave.
