Airline Emirates is recruiting and is hosting an open day near Bristol to give aspiring cabin crew members the chance to impress.

They must be clean-shaven with no make-up.

The job advert says: "There are a few qualities which will make you stand out. Namely, you’ll be positive, confident, flexible, friendly and very keen to help others."
Further guidance on the Emirates website says candidates must be or have:

The advert goes on to say: "As well as the role requirements, there’s a little more that great cabin crew members offer. You should be determined to always perform well. And no doubt you’ll be able to manage a pretty demanding work schedule. Also, you’ll be culturally aware and reflect who we are – professional, empathetic, progressive, visionary and cosmopolitan.
"These are the characteristics we look for when you meet us at an assessment day, so come prepared to demonstrate these qualities individually and in the group exercises we prepare for you. Finally, in order to set a great first impression, consult our grooming guidelines when taking your photos for your application and when you come to an assessment day."
