Recently I attended an excursion to our Airport in the capacity of a parent helper. Wow it was sooo fun.... we followed the yellow line in single file out on the tarmac as if we were planes about to take off. We learnt to recognise  the various signs within the airport eg. toilets, exit etc.\nBut the best part was when a Blackhawk helipcopter landed to refuel and the two pilots invited us to hop in and sit and walk through it. We got heaps of pics.

SWOT is Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats to a company.  Any big company will have a history of the company on their website.  Use it.\n\nManagement style can be inferred from their publicity.\n\nGive your best guesses on the SWOT.

Doesnt matter where the location is, companies still need MSCE's and CCNA's.  I wouldnt stop at those certifications though, continue on with Cisco certifications.

If you are doing a SWOT analysis for a company and its competitions, you could possibly find the leader in the industry.  \n\nI'm not sure what your question is...  \n\nUsually, a person possesses leadership skills, and a company could be the benchmark or gold standard in the industry.  I see SWOT as a marketing analysis, and leadership as HR or organization behavior issue.\n\nI hope this is somewhat helpful.  Check out the link, I found great answers in businessballs.com for all of my MBA projects.

Start by making a list of "must knows", things they should know when starting (aka competencies). Also include any relevant HR policies (sick days, vacations, ect) and company philosophies and mission statement. Allow time in this plan for return demonstation under supervision any task that they will be performing. Set an appropriate time line in which to complete the training. Once you see these lists on paper, creating the plan will be easy. Good Luck

Be VERY careful. It's hard enough to make money with an airline in a developed wealthy western country.\n\nI'd be looking to obtain a Government contract which you can be certain will be honoured as well as getting a very good understanding of the political process etc of the country. \n\nWho is your target market? \nWhat realistic opportunity is there for growth? \nIs the standard of living of the country expected to increase significantly?  etc. etc.

Ideally, it should be SW..........................OT.\n\nIn other words, the main problem is that most users of SWOT jump too fast to opportunities and threats (which are related to knowledge of the field and of competitors) and don't spend enough time REFLECTING on the SW findings (which gives you deep self-knowledge).\n\nDeep self-knowledge (individual, group, organization, country, etc.) enables you to make defeat almost impossible, because you CHOOSE a business model (or an industry, or target market, etc.) where your strengths will be leveraged ad infinitum while your weaknesses are irrelevant.\n\nIn other words, self-knowledge gives you a certain assurance that you WILL NOT be defeated. \n\nBut of course, that is not enough to win.\n\nYou also have to attack. (Similarly, in a hockey game, having a great goal tender is not enough. You also have to score).\n\nScoring depends on identifying opportunities out there which your strengths enable you to capture and capitalize quickly and efficiently.\n\nTo answer your question, I think the main limitation is that SWOT doesn't take into account the core competencies that Gary Hamel talked about. A core competency is almost a super-strength. Sony's miniaturization, or Toyota's lean manufacturing, for example.

Well I am a long haul flight attendant for a major airline - and I absolutley love it! Different airlines have different standards when it comes to hiring crew. Some airlines are more unfair than others however a good airline will hire someone based on merits rather than looks and age. I was 20 when recruited. In my intake I had people of all shapes, sizes, ages, sexuality, religion, backgrounds - the list goes on.\n\nAlthough not required to do any of the following they may be of an advantage - you may want to look at taking a short course in cabin crew (to show your interested and serious), working in the food and beverage industry (which is one of your primary functions onboard after safety), or study a 2nd language (I speak Japanese and get about an extra $500 of year because of this)\n\nIt's definately are very prestigous job and when walking through the terminal everyone just looks at you - it's an amazing feeling. Most people that travel know that becoming a flight attendant is not easy. more than 500 people applied and only 30 were selected at my intake.\nNot only are we waiters and cleaners, but nannys, policemen, firefighters, good listeners, entertainers, mechanics, plumbers, medics and most importantly are able to help evacuate a plane in an emgergency, which is the part of the training which takes the most. There is an 80% pass mark for tests and practicals when it comes to emergency procceduers and we are tested every 6 months.\n\nCareer wise there is plently of career progress. You start of as an economy attendant - but don't think business class is out of reach, I was also trained in business. From there you can become a dedicated Business Class and first class attendant which means you will 99% of the time work in these cabins unless called out of catergory. From there you can become a second senior, then a supervisor, then a manager. you could also become a trainer. You may decide to be invloved with many of the companies programs to develop better techniques on board.\n\nI learn dozens of new things everytime I fly. From other crew and the passengers. I might learn about a different city or why a governmentt has introduced a new policy. you'll also encounter many situations on board - some make you laugh and some will be a test of character. My favorite though is dealing with passengers that don't speak english. It's great fun trying to get the message to them such as what do you want to drink or sorry we've run out.\n\nIn regards to perks every airline has different perks. Although my airline doesn't give free tickets (and can't imagaine many that do) We get unlimited travel at nearly 95% off the price - Not bad. As a flight attendant your travelling to different places and getting to stay there in 5 star hotel\n\nThis is airline specific but I work on averaged over a 2 month period the equivlent of less than 4 hours a day. And I get plently of days off not only home but of course overseas.\n\nOf course there are a few downsides. You will miss birthdays etc. but that just means you have to celebrate when you get back - And you'll probably give better presents too that you've sourced from you adventures abroad. \n\nSo in conclusion - I love my job and if you have the opportunity to apply for an airline - Just try - you never know your luck and hope you get to be part of a very exiciting industry!!
