A cabin crew résumé example, safety before service
One complete cabin crew résumé, written out in full. The person is invented. The reading and the score come from the product itself.
— sectors, types, languages, checks passed.

Cabin crew applications are read by people who care about safety first and service second, and most résumés for the job are written the other way round. This example is written out in full so you can read the safety-first version, then put through the tools here so you can see what a parser stores. The candidate is invented. Ysabel Corrigan-Mbatha does not exist, neither airline exists, and every figure was chosen to demonstrate a shape.

Sectors, types, checks
Six hundred sectors a year on two aircraft types with crews of six. Two hundred and forty sectors a year as senior. Three annual safety and emergency procedure checks passed at first attempt. Those three lines are what a recruitment team reads before deciding whether to keep going.
Type experience matters more than most candidates think. An airline planning a conversion course reads the number of types you have operated as a training cost, and stating it saves a question.
Incidents and sales are the two other jobs
Thirty medical and disruptive passenger incidents handled with the flight deck and ground teams. Onboard sales of EUR 90 000 a year, 14% above the fleet average. Cabin satisfaction from 78% to 88%, with forty extra shifts covered at short notice.
Those cover the two things airlines actually hire for beyond safety, which are keeping a cabin calm and selling from a trolley. Both are countable and both are usually left as adjectives.
What the reading found
The door on this page hands the document to the résumé builder as plain text, through the same import an uploaded file goes through, and the review shows each field beside the line it came from. Here the completeness pass found four readable sections, 130 words of experience evidence and ten distinct skills, with both certificates kept with their years and three languages in their own section.
No language model is involved. The readers are deterministic and where they are unsure they ask rather than moving an attestation into a section nobody reads.
What the checker scored it
Ninety-seven out of 100, with one improvement remaining worth 8 points. The arithmetic is 100 × 30% + 100 × 30% + 92 × 40% = 97, explained in the article on the score. Seven action-led lines, two of them measurable, eight lines of depth, and 220 readable words against a band opening at 250.
Sectors, destinations and aircraft types are not units the evidence rule reads, so an earlier draft of this document scored 92 with a single measurable line. Adding one honest sentence with a percentage in it moved the page five points. The driver example hits the same limit and sets it out in detail, and the ATS checker shows which of your lines were counted.
What this example leaves off
No photograph, no height and weight, no age and no list of every destination flown. Airlines that once asked for those on a page now ask on their own form, where the process handles them properly.
Incident narratives are left off as well. A count of medical and disruptive passenger events describes the experience, and the details belong in a recruitment interview rather than on a document that will be forwarded several times.
What to change for your own
Change the operation. Short haul, long haul, charter, business aviation and cargo all use this shape with different rhythms. Then put in your own sectors, types, incidents, sales and check record.
Keep the languages with levels; on this job they decide routes. The guide on languages covers the levels. The design gallery holds 37 layouts, and the customer service example, the early years example and the personal trainer example sit beside this one.

- Is Ysabel Corrigan-Mbatha a real person
- No. She is invented for this page, and so are Aviamar Airways and Costa Atlantica Air. The figures show a shape and describe nobody's flying record.
- What does an airline look for first
- Attestation, aircraft types and languages. Everything else on the page is read afterwards. The example keeps the attestation and first aid in certifications with their years.
- Should onboard sales be on the page
- Yes. Ninety thousand euro a year, 14% above the fleet average, is a commercial result and most airlines track it per crew member, so it is both checkable and relevant.
- What did the checker score it
- 97 out of 100, with one improvement remaining worth 8 points, which is readable volume at 220 words against a band opening at 250.
- Is safety experience safe to describe
- In counts, yes. Thirty medical and disruptive passenger incidents handled with the flight deck and ground teams describes the experience and identifies no flight, passenger or colleague.
- Which design is this rendered in
- Studio, one of the 37 layouts and not one of the 21 marked ATS-safe. Airline applications almost always go through a portal, so an ATS-safe layout is the safer choice for a real application.
Conxfolio is a free set of four career tools: a résumé builder with 37 rendered layouts, an ATS résumé checker that prints its own arithmetic, a cover letter builder that traces every proof paragraph back to the line it came from, and a portfolio builder with 20 authored designs. There is no account to create, nothing is held back for a paid plan, and no language model is used anywhere in the product, so the readers, the score and the letter are deterministic code you can check.
